Mountain bike computers

[pinkbikes]

Wow, Pinkbikes you had a lot of crashes. Glad you are OK. I think the Garmin is out of my price range right now and I don't need a HRM. Thanks for letting me know how well the 705 held up.

Yep - I'm OK (although opinions on that probably vary). It's just that my transition from roadie to mountain biker was enthsiastic and messy! I think I've had more scabs on elbows and knees than most pre-schoolers!

Fortunately I am getting a bit more coordinated (I hope) and I seem to save my big indiscretions for races. Then I usually seem to be able to fly like Superman at least once!

I just got a Garmin Edge 205, and my bf has a 705. His handlebar mount (on his road bike) actually broke and doesn't "snap" anymore, but I helped him fix it so that the computer stays on securely. I'm probably going to use the same type of "fix" on my MTB even if it doesn't ever break.
