Interesting comments in the comment section about the human brain having a limited pool of processing power... I have a power meter on the Scalpel but never use the data on the trail because I'm fully occupied with staying rubber side down. One of th3 things I love about MTB is that it demands 100% attention and leaves no room for anything else.
Smashed GPS
Gotta love it when you lose your concentration for a second and suffer the consequences.
Just after thinking about how many times I'd dropped it without cracking the screen, Last week I stepped on my $400 Magellan Cyclo505 GPS and completely smashed the screen, to the extent that now I can hardly press any buttons on it any more.
Garmin 810 firmware update?
I've just had a notification that there is a firmware update for the 810.
Has anyone run it? Did it break anything?
Maps
Hi,
I'm about to move over to Manly and am wondering what the best maps people are using for Garmin Edge units. I am able to get hold of the Garmin Topo maps for cost but have heard not so great reports on them. (maybe why I can get them cheap)

Garmin Segments
Hi All,
I have a Garmin 510, its software is all up to date BUT.....it is no longer recognizing segments that I ride. It used to, but for some reason it has stopped. When I finish a ride where I know I have passed through segments that either I have created or others have it says "no segments were crossed".
Any ideas or help????

AYUP Battery question
I have a half epic battery - some years old now and use it as a flasher - this morning stopped flashing but will light up constantly but only in high - assume the battery is cactus/on the way out?
Just want to check if someone else has had the same as the replacement is over $100

Which GoPro???
Now I know there are many versions now days and naturally the higher specced version is also the most expensive.
What's the opinion of those owners that use theirs generally to video their MTB riding using the chest mount?
ANT+ USB for PC and HRM question
Howdy,
For those that connect sensors to a Windows PC using ANT+, what dongle/adapter do you use and what sensors do you use it with? Outside on the bike I am sorted with a Galaxy S5 as a defacto bike computer, but indoors I'd like to take advantage of my large laptop and connect directly to it for video-based training sessions.
