GPS tech (Garmin, Hammerhead, Wahoo, RWGPS, etc)

Ok cool. I reckon I might chance the second hand 5s plus. Cheers!

Don't really know how much Garmin does repairs.

They don't do they? Just swap your thing for a reconditioned thing depending on age. Like they won't replace their shitty rubber buttons on the Edge 1000 for example.

Is anyone else finding the sync between wahoo and RWGPS to be terrible? Yesterday morning it wouldnt bring over a pinned route (a couple hours previous), nor a newly created route. It’s like it’s reading from a batch updated database.

Seeing as Wahoo bought Speedplay, does anyone know when Wahoo are likely releasing a power pedal?

Given how difficult they seem to be finding it to make any kind of pedal at the moment, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Anyone else having issues with a garmin connecting bluetooth to mobile. My 530 has become terrible. Just does what it feels like.

It's way more obvious with my watch but yes, there's days when it's a total shit show. No idea why, most of the time it's fine then other times it's useless. 830 isn't quite as bad.

Weird.I've reinstalled everything. I dint really care about uploading rides, but when I'm trying to upload a route to the device, yeah that's annoying.
I'll submit a support ticket into the black hole of not giving a shit.

Lots of restarting both devices seems to sort it but it's not terribly scientific. Last time I had a livechat with Garmin support they vacillated between "Not entirely sure, just keep doing the reboot thing" and "you might have to send the devices back to us". I'll take the former.

What’s the forum approved stem faceplate garmin mount?

These any good?

The bolts distance on my stem is 27mm so that should fit.

pls?

I don't approve of any faceplate mounts.

Yeah occasionally a restart works, but 9/10 times it does nothing.
Nothing has changed since it stopped being 100% reliable. So I am at a bit of a loss.

Why? Could it all explode?

I want the stem to hold the bars properly. I don't want to add bits and pieces into that mix.
Potential for uneven clamping and there's definitely going to be some reduction in thread engagement. I just don't fuck about with my bar setup. #hippyisfat

Anyone interested in my Fenix 3?

Possibly... Do you have a price in mind?

£80?

Is it the standard one or the HR version? I.e do you need to use a chest strap with it as well?

Ta

It’s the standard version so you would need a chest strap.

Ah shame, I'll pass. Thanks for the replies

I've been wondering if I need a GPS watch.

But the only reason I think I'd have a good excuse for having one is that carrying my phone while running is annoying af.

What else do you use it for?

Main thing for me was being able to glance at for e.g. pace, or HR, instantly - by the time you’ve got your phone out it’s too late, although of course it depends on what you are doing. I usually wanted to see if the feeling of impending death was mirrored by the figures, or whether I should just push harder as my body was lying to me.

The watch also does a huge range of things which I frankly never used, or used very briefly - swimming metrics are a good example here.

I’m only selling the Fenix as I’ve not used it since getting a Forerunner (whatever the latest one of those is), but I’ll probably go back to the latest Fenix when the Forerunner is old hat.

I like to use my GoPro mounted to the front of the bike. I have a few integrated Garmin/GoPro mounts* already mounted on different bikes but I also had a Garmin branded mount that didn't have a GoPro attachment.

One eBay purchase later and for just £4.19 including P&P the adapter kit turned up.

It's a simple fix under the existing mount using the longer screws provided and now I have another dual mount for another bike

*the same mount also fits my front light to allow a range of choices

I've got a k edge mount with a garmin insert, and i'd like to replace the insert to wahoo. Seems like there's no stock of these inserts in the UK, does anyone know if i can use any other type of wahoo insert that'll fit k edge?
