What do you think about the the Real Time Stamina screen on Garmin? Do you use it?

I agree that this estimate is very accurate After a few months of poor training it was telling me less than 100miles but I did my full century anyway No that I’m back to regular training it’s always over 200 miles when I start my rides. FYI my Garmin Edge 840 is paired with the Garmin Pro strap and Rally XC power pedals

sounds good basically

IDK. Was getting too distracted by all the telemetry - too much brain wasted watching numbers. Gone back to the way things were. No phone, no computer, friction shift, but sometimes a GPS watch.

Enjoying the simple life eh? I like numbers and data. I need route turn by turn for my unsupported brevets. When riding on my own I generally just look at power, heart rate, pedal time distance and elevation. The rest is just extra. Also when racing I turn off almost all screens and only have 3 screens. Thanks for watching Rod!

@@SeeYouUpTheRoad Ack, I'm totally retrogrouching. Nevertheless, I get more than enough data from screens on the job; which means, less is more elsewhere. Ciao George.

thinking about upgrading from 830... Is it worth it?

@SeeYouUpTheRoad Ай бұрын

Hello my apologies but I never had an 830. For my purposes I think the 1040 Solar solves my issues. I am an ultra cyclist. The battery life is incredible. I did a 32 hour 600km with 8,000 meters of climbing (26,500 feet) and never had to plug it in to recharge. I like the large screen for my aging eyes too :-) For me it was totally worth the HUGE ticket price. Thanks for watching please consider subscribing.

@@SeeYouUpTheRoad glad to hear. How much battery did you have after this huge ride? I also enjoy longer rides, but 14h was the biggest one so far.

@@deDANIEL11609 if you do a 14h ride and there is decent sun you will probably still have 60-65% battery life. If you’re in the USA and are interested in purchasing a 1040 Solar or any Garmin I would like to earn your business!

FYI - I rode a 200 miler (322km) with cloudy morning and good sunshine in the afternoon. 12 hours rolling and 12:52 total time I still had 77% battery life remaining - with power meter, heart rate strap and best GPS selected. www.strava.com/activities/11716571159

You need electronic shifting so you don't have to handswipe the Garmin.

@SeeYouUpTheRoad Ай бұрын

ha ha! In the last 3 events I have done 3 electronic shifting failures. One had to DNF the other needed a replacement bike, the third had to climb a 9% average grade for 3 miles with ramps over 13% in his big ring and his largest cog because the rear shifting was iffy and the front was not shifting at all. Yeah I'll keep hand swiping 🙂

@@SeeYouUpTheRoad Just messing with you. i know seen the videos. I have many bikes from modern 32C disc di2 to full retro-grouch rim brake 23mm. Whenever i hop on my retro-grouch that's the one thing I miss and find myself trying to press the tops of my shifters at least a few times per ride forgetting its not there.
