It's the actual battery on my phone tbh.

I'm doing the London to Paris jobby in a few weeks, so would be nice to get it sorted for that.

Is the 500 worth the extra cash overthe 200?

And will these Garmins survive getting coverd in mud/sweat/tears?

I didnt even entertain the 200 when I was looking, though I cant remember why!

I know the 500 is waterproof and a friend uses one rides mtb at national level uses one and he puts it through hell!

Whittie, i'm tempted to drive to london to shout abuse at you while your riding, maybe just follow you with a huge sheep flag

2 x King of the Mountains.

2 x 3rd overall

1 x 4th overall

1 x 7th overall

not bad out of the 10 segments I hit up.

Ive got strava but havent used it yet, does it tell you when you are out riding that your coming up to a timed section?

Kippers - No. Only when you finish it will work out if you have cycled any. But whilst out you can hit the map button and it will show you any segments near you.

I always turn off everything except GPS when using strava on my phone, done plenty of 4/5 hours rides using my HTC desire

Anything that produces a GPX file can be uploaded to strava. I used to use sportstracker pro, so exported all the GPX files when I switched to strava and you can upload them all, and it will work as it would if you used the strava app

Just got this on the c2w scheme, after a 3 week wait for one in my size ( 61 ) can't wait to get out on it, hoping to get some shimano spd pedals and shoes, not liking the look of the standard over-straps, I'd probably die with them

Im after a cheap road bike, dont need anything fancy because i have 'Ledley King knee's' so wont be doing any huge rides.

Has anybody tried the b'twin triban 3? Read some good reviews and only £299.
