They sure do

I like the idea of chasing a virtual me up the local hills!

All roads lead then onto the Garmin upgrade towpath .... I have the 800 now :-)

I have no idea what Cadence is?

Budget? Not over £100 . If I stay with cycling and buy a new bike (Road/Cyclo/Hybrid), then I want the computer to last me for a long time.

rich p I was looking at the computers on airevalleycycle website and they only have Cateye's so that's why I said them. i used to have a cycling computer, but I can't find, I must have thrown it away at some point.

I think I'm 'Edging' towards the Garmin 200.

Cadence (or pedaling rate) is the number of revolutions of the crank per minute; roughly speaking, this is the rate at which a cyclist is pedalling/turning the pedals.

Cadence is just a novelty for all but serious training cyclists IMO.

The Edge 200 is a fantastic bit of kit. I love mine and can't envisage any reason to jump on the upgrade bandwagen.

Buy one, you won't regret it.

I wouldn't mind upgrading my 200 for the 800, But when i think that cost more than either of my bikes,

Yeah i have to agree about the 200, Quick to upload at Garmin Connect,No wires.... and shows most of what i need.
Good choice imo

You know it makes sense.

Even you do feel the need to upgrade then they're an easy sell anyway. If you've no interest in cadence and heart rate then forget the 500, those two things are the only difference from the 200.

If you decided you wanted full mapping then the general consensus is that the older 800 is better than it's replacement the 810 due to bugs.

Bought the 200 and some Schwalbe City Jets 26x1.5. Halfords had a 3 for 2 offer on

Now all I need is my bike which is getting serviced.

Now I have to figure out how to put on the bike!

Piece of piddle Sir. The bracket uses rubber bands that stretch around the stem or bars to hold the mount in place, the unit just twist locks into the mount.

I've actually fitted one of THESE forward mounts for mine, I find it better as I can see it easier being a further forward.
