Hey guys and gals, Was looking about as im interested in a new device to clock my speed. phone is being a bit of a pain when using as a speedometer. More handy when it comes to using it as a text and call notifier. However looking at the Garmin image, I come across something completely shocking!... Look at the bib shorts and top in the image and lets see who can guess where first Here's The LinkI'll give you a clue if you cant get it Clue no. 1: Clue no. 2:

garmin are saying spend less on clothes so you can afford our products ill stick to geonaute lol. But thing is tho, I'd even agree on that. Garmin are awesome to be fair. Just thinking whether to get the garmin adaptor for speed and cadence aswell as HR or go for the edge 500 and have it all... And geonaute are a different type of support branding lol...

does it have btwin on the arm?? Thats the thing, you cant see the name or badge due to copyright. Its th e same with the Coca-Cola/Pepsi (keeping it neutral) ALthough you can blatantly see its that brand, they cant show it. (X factor, american pop idol...) SAme with mac's, How many mac's do you see and they cover the apple up. (2 and 1/2 men do, anymore?...)

Got any piccies of it? Would like to see what it looks like on the handlbars... Cuz really am tempted for the carbone 500 + HR and Cadence cuz our store sells it £20 cheaper than off garmin themselves and, the obvious i get my staff discounty which knocks another 20 off lol so edge 200 for £100 (£90) or a edge 500+HR+Cadence for £200 (£180).
I really am tempted for the 500 though.

I knew we were having the new Polars in and the 3 new sets of Garmins the 200, 500 and 510 set. but werent aware of thes lil beauties. Sweet, i dont use the mapping as i find it useless. If I need to use a map, I've got my phone on the handlebars anyways that will guide my route. I just want something to record it more precisely and with it recording HR and cadence and everything else. £100 cant say more really www.decathlon.co.uk/gps-satcount--id_8225554.html#avantagesReference number: 8225554 (if your ever looking on the website, Grab the 7 digit code which is the article number. Give it to any staff member, ask if they can check if available, 2 minutes on a computer MAX and you'll have all answers there) Makes our life easier and makes your shopping faster

And geonaute are a different type of support branding lol... I have an Edge 500 with HR monitor and speed/cadence sensor. It's awesome! 'nuff said... seriously. it is great. I have it configured for all my bikes, and I just swap it between each. It comes with 2 mounts, so there is no messing, and you can buy spares. I got the HR monitor without the soft strap as i'd heard people say it loses contact sometimes. mine never does. the only time it failed was when i accidentally put it on with the centre piece slightly off to the right. The cadence sensor is great it helps improve the accuracy when tracking your speed/distance. I was really lucky with mine. Best buy were closing down and they were selling them off for £75 (without the sensors) but i never bought one. My friend bought 2, one for him and one for his father, but his father never used it so he sold it to me for £50 shop around for the cadence sensor, as i got one on Amazon for £28 but most bike shops have them for around £40

Just looking on the Decathlon site, looks like it only comes with the HR monitor, no cadence sensor?

THAT is my favourite. Yeah looks quite neat on the bike. & Martin122: That fits really nice onto the neck stem doesn't it doesnt look bulky at all. I have ordered the new satcount GPS speedometer by BTWIN so hopefully, i'll be able to judge it and see what it is like. and if decent... New speedo
