GF29er Posted March 1, 2011 Share Hi all, I need a new Bike computer and was dreaming about going for a GPS, but thought it was out of reach finacialy........ but the Bryton rider 30 GPS (see www.iplaygps.com) is going for ZAR2599... Just don't want to be stuck with an expensive but not functional piece of electronics.... Has anyone actually bought one? Initial comments...? I know Tread have a brief first impression, any more experience would be appreciated. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b-unit Posted March 1, 2011 Share Also saw them on Buycycle. Havent read up but I assume you wont be able to use garmin files on them. Its quite a draw back if you wont have access to all the local routes as you do on a garmin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclewizz Posted March 1, 2011 Share Ja, why don't you just buy the Garmin Edge 500 ? It will cost you about R2300 delivered to your door if you order from bikeinn.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted March 1, 2011 Share It really looks like a nice alternative to Garmin, and it is available in black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halo Posted March 5, 2011 Share Just got my Bryton Rider 30 GPS and I must say I am impressed. All the functionality of the Garmin at a fraction of the price. At first glance the unit is neatly packaged and one of the first things I noticed was ease of use and decent mounting system, I own both the Garmin Edge 500 and the Bryon Rider 30 and for the first time in my life I found out today how long the uphills actually are. Absolutely Amazing. Available at http://www.haloheadband.co.za/products.php?range=40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kocourek Posted March 5, 2011 Share There is also the Times Global trainer, comes with a bike mount and HR. it can also do cadence, I paid R1700 for mine at The Runshop. Arrived 10 days after I ordered it. You will find them on Ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
