Thanks for the insight. I think I’ll go for the cheaper version!

So went on a ride today with my replacement Stages. Weather man called for clouds., Soon into my 4 hour ride, I was caught in a rain storm. I was horrified. Was I going to fry my new Stages? Hell no! Stages handled the wet and rain no problem. It worked flawlessly. Power readings were nice and smooth!!!

Hi Ray, I’ve recently really got into running (5k to 10k) and I’m looking to improve upon my times and was wondering what you’d recommend from the Garmin range? I really like the look and sound of the 610 but I’m slightly worried about the poor reviews regarding charging issues and was just wondering if this problem still exists? Budget is about max £250.

Thanks in advance and cheers for the great reviews albeit I still can’t make a decision!

I tried this on the 705 (version 3.3) and followed the steps to ensure map was enabled (Edge 705: Menu > Settings > Map > Next to “Openfietsmap Lite” select the checkbox under ‘Show’). I don’t see the “Openfietsmap Lite”. In the Map box, it is blank (file shows up on the SD card when I plug the unit into my PC). I still have the ‘etch-a-sketch’ map when I use the 705. Any ideas?

Comment on A look at aerotesting with ERO Sports and the Alphamantis System by Andy Froncioni

@paulB: That’s a good point.

We do view the full process as supply and demand. Your biomechanics and physiology define the supply of power for each effort duration. And the bike and its dynamics determine the demand for the power, and how efficiently you convert power into speed.

Your optimal position will always be at a point where aerodynamic considerations slightly eat into your peak power position. It’s simply the compromise that’s required. But Jim Manton at ERO Sports is not about to let aero considerations completely degrade your power performance, don’t worry.

Hi. Does it allow you to upload and follow gps routes like Garmin 310 or 910?
