Tubehunter Posted November 21, 2016 Share Bicycle mirror for the win! Takes two to three rides to get into using it properly and then you'll never be able to ride without one again! hillel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Albert Cycles Posted November 21, 2016 Share Thanks for the positive responses .We are moving to Prince Albert in Dec prompting the decision to ride road again .Just one fairly quiet but narrow tarred road both sides of town .From the feedback the Varia seems ideal .Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinnekop Posted November 21, 2016 Share My training partners both ride with them. Awesome.I "roofry" by connecting my Garmin to their Varia when I ride with. Works perfectly..... Just a note that I have picked up, the battery life seems to be an issue so make sure it is fully charged before every ride.

Furbz Posted November 21, 2016 Share should also state it allows you to ride further in the road because you know the road is clear behind you. then as soon as it beeps for a car i move over Prince Albert Cycles, Andrew_Smith and mikkelz 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Wheel Base Posted January 15, 2018 Share I just got one of these radars. Did anyone else struggle to sync it with an edge 520? I am busy googling the issue but if someone has had an experience before it might be quicker than reading plenty reviews trying to find a solution to my problem. Funny enough if I select to pair with a light it pairs and gives an ID but it just gives a ? under info and doesn't help at all as it wont put the radar info on my ride screen. But selecting radar under devices just goois searching for as long as I can watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillel Posted January 15, 2018 Share I had the same issue when I first got mine. You need to do a software upgrade on the Varia and it sorts out the problem. Long Wheel Base and Pure Savage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Wheel Base Posted January 15, 2018 Share I had the same issue when I first got mine. You need to do a software upgrade on the Varia and it sorts out the problem.Brand new unit needs software upgrade . Thanks will try that. So can that only be done via pc with the usb cable? The edge just updates via BT and my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still look behind you to be sure.Do you have the head unit as well or just the radar and then the display on your edge? assuming by your previous post it's on your edge. Battery life?

Long Wheel Base Posted January 15, 2018 Share Am I able to see the battery level for the varia on my edge? seems the only way you can see the level is checking how many lights come on when you switch the varia on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battery life?Its just linked to my edge 520. Battery life is between 4 to 5 hours depending how busy it is. Busy roads seem to drain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
