    Garmin Fenix 6 for MTB?

    I've got the Fenix 6 and the 830 edge. Honestly the Fenix is all I use. I've been on a big unknown ride recently and loaded it into the 830. After being directed up and down the same route and eventually picking the route back up only to find after 5 miles I'm on the route back home :( Its...

    How much for motor software upgrade

    Last time i popped into the local bike shop to enquire about a software update to turn on the front light feature on the bosch unit i was told there's a 2 month lead time to book it in. The place is dead as a dodo, your lucky if you see another sole inside whenever you pop in lol. To be...

    Bosch Nyon vs Kiox - Is Nyon too big?

    Is the nav function easier to use and more intuitive than on the Garmin 830 or above devises ? My Garmin 830 edge has been close to being thrown in the hedge a few times. Im tempted, i hardly ever use my 830 now and just use my fenix if needed. I guess its an easy swap out from the Kiox to the...

    Seriously , do you guys actually live in these places? Or is this some holiday of a life time :( . Honestly some of the photos you guys post are enough to make me pack in. I could post a picture of the local canal route surrounded by chavs with a nice housing estate in the background but i...

    Answered Question for the Garmin users

    Just go for the 830 edge, I upgraded last year from a 530. Its everything you need. I have a Fenix 6, Garmin Marq and the 830, I'm a Garmin freak but I still don't understand or claim to be proficient in all its capabilities. They all take a lot of use to get to grips with.

    New Bosch Tour + Mode

    I don't fancy it, I use tour for long boring big climbs mainly on road or short off road steep climbs, I don't need any more power than 140-150% for these, then i just flick back to eco when it levels out enough. If i need full fat i use EMTB or Turbo. This new update will get rid of that...

    Bosch Kiox retrofit

    Kiox is a cracking bit of kit, whenever I see the Purion it looks like something from the 90's. Look into it a bit more if you can.

    Is this tire ready for the bin?

    Strange isn't it, that's what I thought but its very soft rubber behind the decal, I might just stick a pin in it lol.

    Let’s Be Careful Out There - Cannock Chase Mugging

    I would ring the police and say " I've been attacked " and give them all the details of where I am. I would then tell them unfortunately I am a little busy and need to move on, the attacker is not doing well he's unconscious but I still wont to press charges. That's how I would like to image...

    Is this tire ready for the bin?

    1st time in months i gave the bike a wash and spotted this. Its very odd, like an air bubble that has a very thin skin, it compresses very easy and moves the air about. I'm guessing its a disaster waiting to happen but there's no evidence of damage just like a blister on your skin. Hopefully the...

    Other bike comparison

    I very really use anything more than tour mode for big long inclines, its a power house in this mode and always drop back to eco as soon as possible. Eco is still very strong and in the right gear allows for some serious pull just slower. If I could de tune Tour mode a little I would.

    Navigating what do you use, watch or nav?

    That's interesting, when you say the new firmware has direction arrows do you mean arrows on the route line that show the direction of the route ? This has been a major problem for me not knowing if the line is going or coming back from a route. I will turn off the items you mentions and give...
