As above, after a Garmin for navigation and tracking, no need for all the bells and whistles really but you never know... not sure if the batteries last well on these but a good 12 hours of life is needed if poss!

Thanks

Hey @Jackytwoshoes - I've got an Edge 705 that will do ANT+ etc and navigation. I did replace the battery a year or so ago, but not sure it'll do 12 hours. It definitely lasted over 9 hours for RideLondon last year.

I also have a Garmin Edge Touring - good for navigation and speed, but won't connect to HR, Power etc.

Both in decent condition with mounts etc - make me a half-decent offer if you're interested in either of these?

There's a etrex on sale here somewhere. Very unsexy, but with AA batteries it's excellent for long days

I've plugged a lipstick battery into an 810 for the dun run with some success. If you tape the battery under the stem you can pretend you have Di2

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
