Hey if you don't mind me asking, what cycle computer are you using? I am looking to get the dual sided reading. I know it has to be the ant+ or at least that is my understanding. I had the single sided, power meter, pedals and just used my I phone. The blue tooth just doubles the reading from one of the sides from what I have read. Anyways, looking at the ant+ cycle computers and I am getting more confused the more I research.

 

I have a Garmin 520 which needs to be replaced. I replaced the battery this year and cracked the screen and broke the seal in the process so it's no longer waterproof.

I'll likely replace with a Garmin 130 Plus. It does anything I need. The usual basics, power, and simple navigation. If I didn't need navigation I'd consider the Edge 25. It's as bare bones as it gets.

Depends on your needs. Most computers have a ton of functions that most people don't use. All (of the main brands) are Ant+

DCRainmaker has a ton of super-in-depth reviews on all the top contenders. Let me know what specifics you're looking for and I can help narrow it down.

 

Thank You, yeah I was thinking the Garmin 130 was the way to go. I have no need for navigation so I will look at the Edge 25 for sure. I am just wanting to get an actual dual sided reading from the power meter pedals.

I wasn't thinking...the 25 won't do dual sided. The 130 will.

The 130 is really all most need but I sell 500 series and 800 series computers all day long in the shop. Ha

 

Thank You! I owe Ya a beer or twelve.

 

No worries.

I will warn that the one major downside to the Garmin 130 is the battery. If you're not doing epics or repeated off-grid days you'll be fine. Garmin overstates their battery life a fair bit and you won't see 12 hours with the 130 in the real world. Depending on your use bank on 8 to 10 hours.

 

they’re right about what I do at work

They have this down to 30% off but somehow the stock hasn't budged so it doesn't look like anyone else is going for these. Trying to contain myself.

 

Bc marking an overpriced product down 30% just brings it in line with WAO newest wheels which were on sale for the same price recently at only 15% off. So roughly $400 cheaper base price.

Anyone want to go to Windrock, weather pending this weekend? @honda50r @levie125

 

Any reason you’re looking at those vs buying other options that are potentially equal/better for the same price standard? Said other options can be acquired for less with coupons/discounts that are readily available. WAO/Nobel specifically, and others just recently with BF pricing.

 

Unfortunately you're right.

Hate to say it but weight. Convergence/Revolution WR1's are the best value by far but they're hovering 1900g's. Nobl is my second choice but they're also at ~1750g. Was hoping to go sub-1600g. Might wait and save up for some Berds.

 

Ahhh gotcha. Weight didn’t even cross my mind.

 

IDK if its the configurator but the WAO build comes with 1/1's too.

GF had Reynolds/torches on her xc bike and never had any issues.

 

anyone feeling lucky?

Yeah a little late notice but Sunday PM would work for me. I'm around all December/January so another weekend would be better

 

For sure late, I generally don’t know my weekends till maybe beginning of same week and sometimes 2 weeks early if I’m lucky.

Also who wants a deal on a 5010, if the prices were like this all the time I feel it’s very fair. Lower than pre cov.

Quick question for you guys. I needed a set of 9x100/10x135 wheels for a new rigid SS build. I reached out to a professional wheel builder and agreed on I9 1/1 hubs laced to Stan's hoops. When I received them, the hubs are 1/1 Road hubs. Should I have any concerns about using road hubs for MTB?

 

With your hub spacing the road 1/1s are your only option.

Unless you're really givin'er you should be fine. Even if you are givin'er you should be fine.
