ChristiaanSt Posted January 22, 2019 Share Guys please assist. I am in the market for a new cycling computer. There are a couple of factors to take in to consideration and I would like to have some options. They are as follow: Obviously GPSStrava Live segmentsIntegrate with Discovery Vitality without having to rewrite a website every time I want to uploadConnect with my current Ant+ HR straps (Unless you get one that comes with one) These are all fine and easy to pick. The problem is however that I only have a budget of R2500 I am even willing to buy second hand if its in working condition. I just want to know what brand/models should I look at or even ignore in your opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaper Posted January 22, 2019 Share ^^^ What Dexter said !! Is a better unit than the Edge 25 slickjay007 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ouzo Posted January 22, 2019 Share didnt know about the 20/25, looks like a nice option. Before I saw your budget I was going to suggest an Edge 130. Very much the same as the 25 but with a bigger screen and supposedly longer battery life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ouzo Posted January 22, 2019 Share Garmin 130 are going for good prices these days can not go wrong.I'm loving my 130. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickjay007 Posted January 22, 2019 Share ^^^ What Dexter said !! Is a better unit than the Edge 25 I agree with both of you guys but the budget might be a bit tight at R2500 to find one. Maybe the OP can find just the head Unit for now? Easybike have the 130 at R2999 Edited January 22, 2019 by slickjay007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaper Posted January 22, 2019 Share I agree with both of you guys but the budget might be a bit tight at R2500 to find oneThe Edge 25 has been around for a few years and whilst a great unit misses some of the features of the more high end unit. The Edge 130 had pretty much all the features and the OP only needs to save a little more and can pick one up for just under R3000 https://shop.navworld.co.za/garmin/sports-and-fitness/garmin-fitness-cycling/garmin-edge-130.html To the OP, save a bit more as it is not much more! slickjay007 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristiaanSt Posted January 22, 2019 Share Thanks for all the suggestions guys! I might save a bit more and get the 130 or look on the classifieds sections for a bargain to come through Ferro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertWhitehead Posted January 22, 2019 Share Have a look at this video, think it's quite handy when comparing: - Also consider a Cash Crusaders in your area, I've seen a couple computers there go for a lot less than what they're worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grease_Monkey Posted January 22, 2019 Share Thanks for all the suggestions guys! I might save a bit more and get the 130 or look on the classifieds sections for a bargain to come throughI haven't advertised mine at all, but I am going to sell my Garmin Edge 520. Just the unit itself. Recently replaced under warranty, excellent condition. PM me if you're interested. I'm selling coz I no longer want to ride with a unit attached to the bike, my Fenix watch does the trick for me. Will tick all your boxes incl. strava live segments and budget.... Edit: Sold.

Ferro Posted January 22, 2019 Share Thanks for all the suggestions guys! I might save a bit more and get the 130 or look on the classifieds sections for a bargain to come through I had the 25 and sold it. Will be getting the 130 rather. Buy better, buy once.
