It's time to get a head unit. Nearly killed my phone from a fall last week due to a very unaware pedestrian. I was only doing about 3mph trying to pass off the cycle path that they had decided to take up the whole width of after ringing bell and saying excuse me 3 times but got stuck in a rut and went over. Of course they didn't stop and check on me either but nevermind, all ok.
Requirements:
Garmin Edge 830 - Expensive. Screen not particularly big and if spending that much, not a huge amount more to go for Garmin Edge 1030. No mount included.
Garmin Edge 1030 - Very expensive. Biggest screen. Lots of features I wouldn't use. No mount included.
Wahoo Element Roam - Cheapest of the 3 and looks good. Decent screen size. Mount included.
With the Garmins, am I right in saying the Quarter turn to friction flange mount will fit to the standard mount giving me my light mount? So I would have to buy a mount and that.
With the Wahoo, the mount doesn't seem to have any way of attaching a GoPro style mount. K-Edge mounts are available but are about £60 including the GoPro mount.
I'd appreciate people's thoughts on the options given my requirements. Haven't looked at the new Hammerhead Karoo 2 as it's not out yet and I don't think it plays nicely with Komoot. Open to ideas though.
Requirements:
- I use navigation a lot so needs good mapping and preferably audio turn instructions.
- I want to link to Di2 for gears, battery level, hidden button operation. Probably my Bontrager Ion lights too but not important.
- A good size screen would be nice.
- Easy use of planned routes from Komoot and automatic upload to Strava.
- I would like to be able to fit my light underneath (GoPro style mount).
