Bike Computer Deals & Offers

When you remove the main unit it looks like you will have 2 cables left attached to the handlebars which will be a bit unsightly plus might leave electrical contact points exposed to the elements on the ends of the cables. I think removable cycle computers for example have a sort of scratch over mounting so as you push them back in the contact points get a quick scrape as the contact points are spring loaded. The solution here might lead to intermittant electrical connections. Also the main unit looks too heavy for the simple rubber mounting so it wouldn't surprise me if the torch struggles to stay in position. I have problems with much smaller lights with a similar mounting system. I would of thought this needed to be a screw on bracket. All complete guesses based on how it looks in the images. Perhaps someone who receives it can give a basic review here.

Interesting device, though generally I wouldn't have lights fitted during daytime riding (which would be most riding), so not completely sure of the point of having a cycle computer installed

It says it's 800 lumens which if true is plenty for city riding. Also looks like it has good side lighting from the pictures, so it's probably worth a punt at this price.

Thank you. Bought 2. Been looking for it. I like the horn feature. Hope it last and proper waterproof

I assume it will come with the sensor and magnet even though its not mentioned on the advert. I think the advert doesn't show these parts just to make the item look more sophisticated as if it doesn't need one. The sensor and magnet are cheap parts which I think they would include. I think by omitting those parts you may assume it has a gps unit inside (like I did until I did a bit of research). You get cheap smartphones with gps chips that retail sub £20 on occasion so it's not impossible in the future a transferable unit with a gps will be possible. I got this one when there was a pricing error at £1 (plus about £9 postage from Germany). It comes with a bike mount and with no cables offers speed etc. So I guess the technology will become available cheaper where you simply mount a device and it will track its location and the relative speed etc. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005IXBLI4/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

better battery. using a phone for navigation and GPS route recording will kill the battery in a couple of hours on most phones but a dedicated unit will last all day. Smallersize and more robust construction Ant++ connectivity for heart rate monitors, cadence monitors, radar lights etc

Why would i use this over say i cheap water proof mobile phone?

Is this a car satnav instructions?

520 plus all day long!!

Good value but these gps units have some flaws they use a touch screen, the screen is resistive rather than capacitive but a lot of people (myself included) find that it won’t work with gloves and isn’t 100% with fingers). This means that in order to do a lot of things such as flipping between the map view and the screen with time/speed/distance etc you have to take your gloves off which is no fun in the cold (unless you buy the remote which gives you a physical button to do this)

Got 520 for 144 from halfords while back and this doesnt seem to be worth to be hot.

Nothings a good deal then if you compare it to the best ever deal! Was looking at this for £250 but oped last month to go with the 520 for £175.

Not cheap compared to when Halfords had the 1000 for £250 now that's a bargain!

That's for the standard Edge 520, not the plus.

165 on wiggle

Now £209.99!

Meh. I use an old Huawei in a bike phone mount. Lasts a good couple hours on a decent brightness using Nokia Maps or Google maps downloaded. Can always stick a usb battery on the bike to keep it going all day.

and also drains the battery

Accurate enough, I've had no signal issues. Does pretty much what I'd want from a gps. These things are crazy overpriced.

Which isn't fully accurate,suffers signal issues and can't do half the stuff one if these can.

Looks like it’s £299 now. Adding to basket makes no difference.

Thanks :)

great first post Op (highfive)

I also have the garmin vision and radar plus HRM, speed and cadence sensors. These all connect to my garmin 1000 seamlessly.

British cycling discount

Can you download maps from iPhone without connecting it to pc? If yes will it give turn by turn instructions?

£169 now!

Check out polar v650 large screen, colour good HR representation and free maps! However, battery life not good

Be aware that you can get 10% off at evans or halfords with a bc membership, and you can also buy vouchers for both of those at 7 or 10% discount through many employer discount schemes. Halfords have the 820 at 235 and the 520 at 180 pre discount, which is probably a better deal thank this.

I'd go for the new Garmin Edge 130 instead. It is a bit smaller and cheaper. And it has most of the features of the 520, except some of the navigation/mapping.

Great spot, good price.

£300? You could get a whole (ok, most of the bits anyway) car for that! Just got one for 240. nice.

This can be bought for 20% off on their ebay store for £240 until 6pm: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191411113951 John

Yep, at least 8 hours (longest ride I’ve done).

£300?! Could buy a whole bike for that! (highfive)

Whilst a great price, just a warning. I tried it and hated it. After getting used to a smart phone with free cycle maps on it, it just seemed clunky, slow and difficult to use.

Recently moved from a Garmin 800 to a Wahoo Elemnt Bolt. The user experience is much better in my opinion and changing routes on the fly is much easier too. It does require access to the phone app

Dont need a watch to use it. I have 520. Cheaper and prefer physical buttons.

A Garmin watch? No, I have a fitbit I was gifted, but I don't think I'll need a watch as well.

Will you be using a watch with this too?

Thanks for advice - I just saved mysef another £5 from this site

Mentioned 4x "powerful" in description. Must be really powerful then! To call 1/2 watt powerful? Powerful as a candle light!!! :)))))))

I bought these last time that they were on offer, and honestly, I can't recommend them. The fastening is a slightly elasticated rubber loop, that clips very tightly to the light on either side. You have to detach it from one side to fix it to your handlebar/seatpost and it takes a great deal of force to do so. It's very fiddly in cold weather with numb hands and is nigh on impossible in the dark! They aren't much brighter than the 70p 'frog lights' you can get off Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00FXO6MUA/ref=pe_3187911_185740111_TE_item and these ones are so much easier to get on and off

Thanks op ordered.

Good value at £4.99 but £20 is ridiculous!

A collegaue had one circa 18 months ago said it was poor and returned it in the end. Sounds like the updates may have made this unit actually good over time.

I'd got with Bryton instead. Cheaper, does the same functions and the battery smashes these.

Can also be used with the Garmin Varia if you want to waste your money on the Varia stuff but its useful to know.

Better buying from CRC with 10% BC discount

Mine has been great. Got me to where I needed to go when on unfamiliar routes.

I can't even be bothered to GTFY ;(

It is just an app but a significant number of new cycling GPS's link directly to your Strava account and can even show your pace over Strava segments in real time. To many keen cyclists this is desirable.

It's about the right price for an Edge 200 and it wouldn't work with Garmin Connect if it was fake. The QR code loads: http://www.garmin.com.cn/apps/GarminConnect/

Quite clearly a fake - but if you have bought or voted for it you deserve what you get....

Some of the fonts are different on the Gearbest one to a geniune Edge 200:

Bit unfair to pre-judge it as a fake - have some heat

I fell for a Garmin from these guys before

This is a good deal. I absolutely love my Wahoo Elemnt. It’s much, much better than the Garmin Edge 800 I had previously. For me one of my greatest cycling pleasures is to ride on roads and lanes I’ve never been on before and this is where the Wahoo excels over the Garmin. Especially the ability to change your route via your phone mid ride. One of the many drawbacks with Garmin devices is that they use a colour screen whereas the Wahoo uses monochrome. This might seem an odd statement but it can be hard to distinguish between magenta and blue lines against the detail on the map on the Garmin when in very bright sunlight and you are wearing polarised sunglasses. Because the Wahoo uses monochrome it is much, much clearer to see where you are going and where you have been.

To get your custom I'm sure it will.

So my 5 pounds speedometer will count?

"existing bike computer"

What device can you trade in? Can't find it anywhere on that site

Great price! Anyone fancy buying me one and posting it over to NI for little old me?

It was hafords. They were price matching somebody else at £79.99 then I got my 10% britsh cycling discount plus 3 or 4% top cash back.

Where did you get yours for £70-00? (If you dont mind me asking!) I had to return this item because some cheeky f***a had removed the EDGE 25 and replaced it with an old used EDGE 200!!! The staff were great and refunded me but I was just taken aback at how someone could do that! I had already ordered a new front mount for it so I want to buy a EDGE 25!

Only thing I don't like about this deal is that I already paid £70 for one...

Great price! Heat

I'll have half a dozen

Yes, still £139.99 in the Holmes Chapel Aldi ​

Anyone still seen these at a good price ?

​Result! Ive installed Open Source Maps and they seem to work a treat

I picked one up in Telford today. Priced at £139.99 last one :D

​advertised in store

NOT £24.98 DELIVERED. £33.97 delivered unless you add something over £30. Still a good deal though. Getting one because my handlebar mounted iPhone dies in the cold this time of year plus the buttons will work better with my fav cycling gloves than a touch screen, I hope!

So actually £33.97 delivered. I think the Lezyne Mini GPS for £40 is a better deal, at least you can use it without relying on a phone.

Wish it was free delivery as it takes it beyond "total bargain" moment. Would have taken a punt at £25 as I have a garmin 810 but these interest me. Any free delivery codes knocking about?

Ordered, thanks OP

Good questions on customs fee. Looking again, I don't think will attract customs fee "All products purchased from WahooFitness.com will be shipped from one of our global warehouses. We stock product in the United States, Netherlands, Australia." I assume UK will actually ship from Netherlands and not the US, so should be OK? I'll see what happens when my mine arrives.

Off ebay

​when and where?

I purchased this for just over £2 if i remember correctly. So only 3 half times as much.
