Hi Guys - new member here.
I bought an Instinct C70 just a little more than a year ago, and I've ridden the crap out of it. My dealer says I have almost 1,500 miles (2,414 km). I love the bike - it has the best power delivery for the rooty, rocky, slippery conditions we find most of the year in western Washington state. I trust the bike to not kill me in the hairy situations that I often find myself in around here (think mossy, slimy skinnies). More than I can say for the other brands I've tried.
My question is: Has anyone used a Garmin Edge computer with their Dyname 3.0? The specifications for my bike says that it has ANT+ LEV communication, and the Garmin Edge 530 says it can read ANT+LEV data. There are a few programs on the Garmin IQ Connect store for connecting to ANT+LEV ebikes. I'm thinking about the 530, but any Garmin Edge with ANT+LEV will give the same results.
The only ebike specific information that I want for it to provide me with is current power setting (eco, trail, ludicrous - but 1,2,3 would be fine as well) , and battery life remaining. Pretty much what the thumb controller does, but with a little more granular info in a font that I can actually see.
All the other Edge 530 cycling functionality and info will be appreciated as well - I'm not buying it for only it's ebike info display.
But before I drop another $400 on yet another expensive toy, I'd like to know that it actually does what I want it to do. Anyone have any first hand experience with using it on a Dyname 3.0 drive system? I would appreciate any feedback.
-Thanks, Slugjockey
