guidodg Posted March 18, 2022 Share I love my Garmin 130 , best Garmin I have ever had , most legible screen and no mapping function [which is generally pretty bad on Garmins.] Displays my AXS gearing, turns on and off my Bontrager lights and shows their status, links to my HR strap and my speed sensor...enough said.

Sid the Sloth Posted March 18, 2022 Share I wouldn't mind a small Garmin for racing. It is really nice to have the big one for training and navigation, and when you don't know the route... But I did CTCT with only my watch and it was really chilled. You are either there or you aren't...

I accept I am the exception because I was mostly sitting in and making sure I stayed at the front over the hills, and I know that route properly well.

But I did not need to look at my watch at all in the race Even as a first timer I hardly looked atmy Garmin ... enough distance markers along the route to know where you are at all times. Without clear route markers I do keep an eye on the computer ... then I do prefer something on the bars.

Grease_Monkey Posted March 18, 2022 Share Sold my edge 520 for a 130 when the 130 was released. Makes sense to me to have the smallest possible computer on an mtb. Maybe on a roadie I’d appreciate a 520/530, but def not bigger.
