OK,
so I have currently a RoadBike, MountainBike,CycloCrossBike, and soon TriBike.
The Roady and Tri bike have Powertabs and the other bikes a GSC10.
Electronically I have a Swim a 310XT and a Computrainer.
My dilemma is that the 310XT only supports 3 bike profiles, I read that the Edge 800 only support 3 profiles as well.
Though my thought is that changing a profile in the 800 would be easier.
I can’t see any real benefit to get the 910XT since my combination of Swim and 310XT get’s me all the functions.
In my mind I think the 800 would give me navigation a bigger screen and some more power data. It would also make it easier to follow routes that I map on a PC, right?

Hi Jennifer (and the other two folks who didn’t get e-mail confirmations)-

I’ve been in contact with Clever Training over the last few minutes and they’re investigating. They assured me that if there was any technical problem, they’ll absolutely honor the price – so no worries there.

If there are others who didn’t get a confirmation, please feel free to shoot me a quick e-mail and I’ll have them track them down. You can use the contact form here, it goes right to my e-mail: link to dcrainmaker.com

Sorry for the troubles, and thanks for your support!
-Ray

“But ther’s also nothing rational about swimming with a few hundred people whacking each other and then jumping on a bike and finally running simply for the ‘fun’ of it.”
Good point!

Damn! I hoped you could present a good pro or contra! Now I have to decide by myself again…

I don’t use Garmin Training Center (anymore) but connect.garmin. Does somebody has a solution to upload a course to connect.garmin?

I made a purchase at Clever Training yesterday and never received an email confirmation, though I did receive a confirmation screen after purchase. I just called them and the person I spoke with could not find my order by looking up my Order Number, Customer ID or Last Name. He said he could not do anything further and I would have to wait until Monday to speak to the warehouse. Kind of unsettling as it’s my first transaction with this company. Now I’m wondering if they have my order, or if I’ll miss out on the sale.

Unfortunately I don’t have the box (or pics of it), it game in a plastic baggie when it came for me. That said, the HRM3 SKU should be 010-10997-07 (Garmin HRM3 SKU) – which tends to be written somewhere on the box.

If you’ve opened it up, you’re looking for a grey stripe along the left side (unique way to tell), as well as “L” and “R” printed on it. No other Garmin strap has that. See some pics mid-way through this post: link to dcrainmaker.com
