Looking for recommendations for a new bike computer. So far I’ve had a Garmin 500 which was fine and I’m currently running a 920XT triathlon watch. I’m looking for something with better routing/navigation but without breaking the bank. I’m pondering the Garmin 530+ or one of the Wahoo’s, the Bolt i…

I don’t think that is the issue since I just got a brand new replacement Roam and it is having the same issues, but I’ll look and see. Or are you talking about history from the entire system (app, computer, etc)?

If its new I doubt its the ride log history; my old 130 became very slow after only a few months of ride history. At least it was only syncing to GC but it took long enough!

Had a bolt. Navigation was terrible. Did a 1700km multi day ride. When it rebooted one day it lost the history and wanted to send me back to the start of the route for 4 days. At least I could follow the bread crumbs. It was not smart enough to continue the route. Had a 1030 that was great. But…

I would say it works ~85-95% as well. I’ve never had the screen totally not respond with gloves but it may take a couple swipes or taps to get it to register. But usually if I’m riding with big gloves it’s also in the snow so I don’t mess with my computer as much as I might in the summer.

1030 is long in tooth how far out can a 1040 be? Oh there’s a global supply chain disruption and chip are hard to come by? So 2024 then? :man_shrugging:t2:

I love my Garmin Edge 130 soooo much that i keep it in the drawer and use my old phone as a bike computer. :joy::joy::joy: Garmin Vs Wahoo… same :poop: different smell

I still have it somewhere and I liked the unit despite its bugs (main one being that when it sync’d via bluetooth it would drop all the ant + sensors) but after getting used on daily commutes for a couple of years its battery started getting sketchy.

The form and screen of the edge 130 are top notch. It was the main two reasons why I bought it and it didn’t disappointed, BUT… Every update fixed one bug and created another two It’s a summer computer only. It turns off when temp goes below +5C. Early morning Spring rides anyone? Nope! The…

So I got myself a new Garmin 530 after 5 happy years with Wahoo. I decided on a change due to the better MTB mapping and the integration of trail forks on Garmin. I paired my tech and all appeared good and then went to ride and it would not pick up the power2max metre. After spending hours over a we…
