BDF Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 ah must be new functionality in the 510...in the 500 you still have to put the circum in manuallyJa, the 510 is quite lekker but (off topic) it has the occasional brain fart and stops working. It then needs a reset which is a bit of a pain. I like it though because it has a "live track" function when paired with a phone. This enables my wife to know exactly where I am just in case...
NotSoBigBen Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Cadence is a very important training and performance metric! I am sure it is but how many can seriously say they use it? besides Mr. #iwattbikeathome rouxtjie 1
BDF Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 I am sure it is but how many can seriously say they use it? besides Mr. #iwattbikeathome Ha ha - If I had the bucks to buy a wattbike I would spend it on a MTB which I don't yet have!That said I tend to be a bit anal about measurement and improving on a base over time. I'm sure it helps performance but I also like to see a trend in the right direction I suppose.

rouxtjie Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 my 500 calculates automatically edit: page 43 http://static.garmin...wnersManual.pdfahhhhh but still slightly wrong since it will use gps points....so you might as well just use the unit to calculate since its based off it anyway. You need a piece of string and your wheel to do this 100% accurately koukie and fanievb 2

fanievb Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 oooh then I will need to set it manually for use on the IDT as you switch the GPS function off, thanks once it calculates it, its programmed onto the unit and you only need to re-calibrate if you reset the unit
Jakkals. Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 My 500 also has an auto measure, but its gives me a number below the original 2096
V12man Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Trust me, you will never put it on....its just not worth the hassle, and of course the extra 10grams That's what I thought initially too - now most of my bikes have them fitted - saves you from having the deadspots in recordings sometimes in forests and areas where GPS coverage is not good, and is hugely useful on a trainer.
