I read a great tip on PB that you can use the snowboard activity type to record rides and it auto pauses the uplift sections then you can change to a ride or whatever once uploaded
Can confirm this works, rode BPW and set my 945 to snowboard and it only recorded the downs, once uploaded to strava flipped to Bike and it clocked all the segments.
For just logging stuff, that was ideal.
I unearthed mine the other day as my instinct was playing up and it was just dandy for a couple of hours spin, just wouldn’t trust it to last more than maybe 4 hours now, apparently you can change the cell in them and people have apparently crammed in higher capacity batteries, it’s literally just a coin cell. Might still be work exploring as an option for me.
@cookeaa - I've replaced the battery in my Edge 25 like for like (PD2430C1) and it's pretty straightforward. The bigger capacity ones are a bit thicker but according to this thread it will fit if you remove the foam padding.
Yeah I think I found that thread a couple of years ago, it is 8 years old now and the bonus capacity PD2440 linked isn´t apparently available in the UK, I recall shopping about and ultimatley considered it a bit much faff for a back-up device. I´m reconsidering it now, as I have it and it´s useful finding a 110mah PD2430 at a resonable price seems a bit challenging TBH (I think my google-fu is just weak)...
No idea how it behaves in wooded areas yet, but on open roads, the GPS on my Xiaomi Watch 5 Lite (£40 Amazon) tracks really well.
Arrived with 78% charge, I've done three short rides testing it alongside my Lezyne Super Pro (~2 hours) and on day 12 it still has 12% charge left.
Guess what, imediately after saying I couldn´t find any sensibly priced 2430 cells I found a pack of four LIR2430 claiming to be 120mah on amazon for £8.99, they arrived this morning and I popped one in the edge 25, juiced it up for a bit and went for a 2hour spin. so far so good, I´ll see how well it lasts. at the same time it looks like I´m getting my Instinct back fixed (crossed fingers).
So it´s back to being Over-garmined for me and no real need to buy yet more of their wares...
Watch as bike computer.
garmin make bike mounts for their watches too. Anyone used them?
