    Birthday is coming up and decided to get a gps for the bike. I was looking on wiggle and saw the usually garmin edge but also saw the bryton rider 50. Checked the reviews in wiggle and they are all positive which I find strange. Anybody here use one?
    Considering it as they seem to do every thing that the garmin do? Just sceptical of the reviews.

    Is that for when you need to know where you are in your cycle?

    I looked at the 800 but it is fierce money :/
    So far the edge 500 is winning. The 200 looked good but no ant+ capability

    Well finally went and got the garmin edge 500, came with the heartbeat sensor and cadence. Question about the cadence tho? I'm going changing the groupset and wheels in the new year. Is the cadence sensor easy to move once it's set up or should I wait till I have the new set up?

    Very easy to transfere to another bike, just a pair of cable ties for the cadence unit and a single cable tie with double sided sticky tape for the magnet on the crank arm.

    Almost forgot, another magnet on a spoke on the rear wheel ;)
