HdB Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Yeah, mine started giving me trouble as well. Definitely the connection with the cable, at least on mine - if I got it just right it would still charge fine. I ended up replacing mine, not a Bryton though as I find their new site absolutely useless compared to the old, perfectly working one. If it ain't broke, replace it with something with a quarter of the features?! Nah.The new 330 and 530 models are very nice - if it wasn't for the software side of things I'd probably have stayed with Bryton.

HdB Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 How did you get the connection right and how long did it take to switch on after connecting it?Oh, I just plugged it in repeatedly until I saw my PC had correctly picked it up so I could download a ride, and very carefully put the computer down on its side. If the BrytonBridge software didn't pick it up correctly, it would also not charge correctly and show FULL. But I don't think I ever let it go completely flat.

HdB Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Place Bryton on floorSwitch off Bryton with large hammerSmile..Go buy a Garmin Nah, the unit itself is fine, I got my Rider 20 in 2012 as a gift, and it still works five years later.The support is what got me to change - the desktop software doesn't work properly anymore, the new app/website is pointless, and your large hammer is just as likely to reply on an email as Bryton.

No need for the software anymore, the files are stored as .fit same as everyone else.So just connect to pc and upload to strava/TP. There is a app now that syncs to strava, but I have not tested it yet. I contacted the distributors directly instead of working through the site, got way better response.

The desktop application (Bryton Bridge 2) gives you the option of saving the tracks to their own BDX, and TCX and/or GPX, which you can upload wherever you like (though for me it messed up the altitude if I didn't first import it on the old Bryton site and then export from there).From the Rider 210 and on it does save as .fit on the device. And as the very old ones don't have bluetooth, they don't support the app either. But even the older ones (prior to the 210) that had bluetooth are not supported by the new app anyway.

And their software is simple to use (Bryton bridge 2) although I prefer to upload files directly to the website from the device itself
Fruity Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 I'm having the same problem with my Bryton Rider 20, which I got as a present a few years ago. I never had use for it until a few days ago. I tried to turn it on and it wouldn't turn on, and it doesn't seem to be charging properly. I tried bryton.co.za to phone them to see what could be done, but I was taken to bioracer.co.za and they say they don't have anything to with Bryton anymore, but said I must try brytonsport.com. So I've just emailed support at brytonsport.com and going to see what they say.
Benny 748 Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 I bought a Bryton computor once, never again!!!!!!!
Ed-Zulu Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 I bought a Bryton computor once, never again!!!!!!!Same, no issues after one glitch once! 5 years later all peachy.

I was very happy with the device, just got fed up when they changed their site to the new nonsense.
