After something for around the £100-£150 Mark for uploading routes from magazines and following some new routes and trying to explore the peaks/Wales and lakes a bit more.
I like Strava live segments when riding locally to keep me motivated trying to beat my own times.
Garmin edge do a couple and also lezyne. Can anyone recommend me anything?
Wahoo
A Xoss sprint might be worth a look. Their basic G+ GPS is brilliant for the price.
At £100-150 could be challenging - prices are pretty punchy from what I've seen.
But Halfords has the Garmin 130 on special at £100 at the moment (from £180 or so). It doesn't do proper navigation, more 'breadcrumb' trail of an arrow saying turn right here
I've got an Edge 130, for breadcrumb track following it's fine. The problem you'll have is when you come to a fork in the trail: you'll have to go 100m on one leg before learning if it's the correct one... But at that price point I don't think you have much choice.
There's probably a few Lezyne that fit your budget.
Are there any deals on the Wahoo Elemnt Bolt at the mo? I think I paid £160 for mine. It's a great device.
Brilliant I'll check those out.
How easy is it to load a route onto the device from, say one of the magazines or a route online?
https://www.probikekit.co.uk/bicycle-computers-gps-hrm/lezyne-mega-xl-gps-cycle-computer/11777347.html would be on my shortlist, massive battery life and offline mapping among its features.
+1 for the Mega XL. Not as intuitive to use as the Wahoo ( I had a Elemnt but broke it in a crash) but I plotted a 95 mile gravel ride on a route I’d never ridden and I didn’t go wrong once. Plotted on RidewithGps, was in Wales this week and plotted 2 rides on my phone using Lezyne app and same again. Battery life is really good too.
+1 Wahoo. Dumped Garmin due to its flakey software. Not cheap but works well. eBay might have some bargains from disillusioned cyclists.
Belting. Thanks so much.
