I find myself in the need of buying a Garmin and have identified the 520 as probably the best for my needs. I've checked all my usual bike purchase related sites (CRC, Wiggle, Evans etc), however are there any other sites that would sell Garmins that I wouldn't necessarily surf too whilst looking at bike p0rn?
Cheers
I would keep an eye on Amazon.
I just got a new Fenix 3 HR for £199, which is a huge saving on anywhere else.
Wiggle usually cheapest for 520. CRC can be cheaper if you have the BritishCycling 10% discount code.
or can you combine a Garmin cadence device with a Forerunner610? mmm must google that one.
No you can't.
You need a higher end multi sport watch (Fenix), although you might be able to do it with the Vivoactive?
Ah, I only have a 610 so that scuppers that idea!
no cadence on vivoactive, was hoping that would have been on last update 🙁
There's a place down SW that was cheapest online when I bought my Oregon online a couple of years ago. Exeter? Taunton?
I bought my Vivo Active off CEX (yes the shopping centre phone and console trade in people) they had some fore runners too at the time so always worth checking as you get 12 month warranty so second hand pricing and little risk
You can use the combined cadence/speed sensor (GSC-10) with a forerunner 610, but not the separate cadence sensor

GlobalGPS, in Newton Abbot used to be cheap, but I've just checked their site and they don't appear to do Garmin bike stuff any more.
slane cycles appear to show at decent price atm £239 for the bundle
give them a call to check if in stock
BikeInn, Bike-Discount, or Rose are sometimes cheap. Wiggle will price match them.
Do you get Vitality health insurance through work? If so, you can get 50% off (off the RRP, mind) via the Garmin store.

I hesitate to recommend them after their duff info and poor knowledge led to an epic runaround for my Mrs this morning, but JE James have the bundle in stock at a good price. Only in Rotherham store and on the website.
Nowhere else has it cheaper that CRC from what I found.
Thanks for all the posts. It looks like CRC and Wiggle come in at the same price for the 520 and cadence with all the other sites not too much more expensive. No big discounts though.
£35 less than CRC here...

£80 worth of sensors, flog the bits if you want head unit only...
