Mish100 Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Hi guys I am interested in either the 305 or 500 edge. Can you please advise me on which of the 2 is better? I do know the 500 is the upgrade but I have heard peopl say they prefer the 305? Also whats you opinion on buying from CRC and the warranties?

Ha Ha Kieran Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Def 500 305 had problems with connection to the battery so would randomly switch off during rides, losing all the data
Tankman Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 yup, edge 500 I have had both and would recommend and prefer the 500 any day.
Thermophage Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Def 500 305 had problems with connection to the battery so would randomly switch off during rides, losing all the data V happy with my 305 and can't say it has ever done this to me But then again I have only used the 305 so can't compare to the 500.I did ride Karoo to Coast with it (Smart recording) and the battery held up with my 7hr9min ride
Mish100 Posted October 6, 2010 Author Posted October 6, 2010 I dont mind new or second hand because the bundled 500 sells for R2232.16 from CRC. I might get the away with the shipping and tax as my sister is a flight attendent. However if she dont go London soon I might just buy order it directly from CRC and pay a extra 111 for postage. Do you guys know what extra charges I will have to pay?
Gerhardc Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Gor mine (500 bundled) from EasyGIS in SA for R3248.00, delivered and all. Give EasyGIS a shout. www.easygis.co.za

Do you guys know what extra charges I will have to pay?Just ask them to mark it as a garmin cycling computer and not just garmin or you might get charged for a clothing garment like i was
Mish100 Posted October 6, 2010 Author Posted October 6, 2010 Will do that Raptor but first need to know what I will get charged when it arrives here?
Cyclewizz Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Order it from bikeinn.com, much cheaper than CRC. Ask them to mark it as bike spares & you'll only pay the VAT & the handling fee.
Thermophage Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Yeah...take price + 10%, then add vat to that number (14 or 15%).Pretty sure that's how it is calculated.
Tankman Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Charges wont be much, as import tax on cycling parts =0%Vat works out to about 15.4% see this thread here
