TrailWarrior Posted March 31, 2016 Share If it is a proper OTG Cable it should work. Here is an article also with a diagram that shows the difference between a normal usb cable connectors and an OTG http://tech.firstpost.com/news-analysis/how-to-make-your-own-usb-otg-cable-for-an-android-smartphone-29503.html milky4130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogs Posted March 31, 2016 Share Hi, the tips and comments have been really useful, but still feeling apprehensive for the day, especially the first stretch which would be downhill in the dark. Has anyone got any tips on what to take on the bike and what I can put in the boxes that will be sent to the control points? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heel Drop Posted April 1, 2016 Share Hi, the tips and comments have been really useful, but still feeling apprehensive for the day, especially the first stretch which would be downhill in the dark. Has anyone got any tips on what to take on the bike and what I can put in the boxes that will be sent to the control points? Thxits always good to have more then one light , the other is clothes - rather start with more and leave in the boxes then not having the right /warm clothes , food will be plenty at the stops having to much stuff can also be a pain so plan and then enjoy the ride - its allot of fun - specially when you stop at 180km and wonder around like a headless chicken and after 10 minutes wonder what you are looking for .........

Has anyone got any tips on what to take on the bike and what I can put in the boxes that will be sent to the control points? ThxDown hill in the dark..? not gonna happen there is a lot of climbing in the 1st stretch,agree xtra light,I tape my warm clothes to the frame by the looks of it we will have a mild weather start so only light arm warmers and a jacket on the frame.Checkpoint 1 will change into warmer clothes as it get's rather chilly early in the morning.Eat from the tables but I do put my personal choice food in my pocket and boxes mostly "salties" as you get RATHER GATVOL of the sweet stuff. taito and Dogs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkyJD Posted April 1, 2016 Share Does anyone know if we are permitted outside assistance at the various checkpoints? I know we are given the boxes for this, but I have a very willing and able significant other coming with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat Posted April 1, 2016 Share Does anyone know if we are permitted outside assistance at the various checkpoints? I know we are given the boxes for this, but I have a very willing and able significant other coming with meNot sure what you call outside assistance, but I have asked organisers if I am allowed other food from my seconds at these checkpoints, for me checkpoint 2 & 3 and they said it is. I guess if they give you some other clothing this will also be excepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironfist Posted April 4, 2016 Share Hi, I would like to hear from someone who had any success with the correct OTG cable for the Garmin 500. Not much time left and I'm struggling to get the Garmin on charge while working. Can someone please send me a link or a photo of what the cable should look like? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milky4130 Posted April 5, 2016 Share So this is the cable i got & it doesnt work. Any ideas why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrailWarrior Posted April 5, 2016 Share OTG Cable.JPG So this is the cable i got & it doesnt work. Any ideas why not? Then in my opinion it is not a proper OTG cable! There should be x5 pins in the connector that fits into your Garmin 500. Looking at your pic it does have x5 pins. Looking at the pic as shown, the last pin on the left and the one next to it needs to be 'bridged. Don't you have a techie friend that can cut it open and do the necessary soldering?As per page shown previously (3 & 4 and elsewhere in this forum) guys have made their own. Scroll down on this page link and see the diagram showing the link between 5 & 4 pin. Hope you come right! 11 days to launch! milky4130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
