 Not for LWB Recumbents February 16, 2008
1 out of 6 found this review helpful
I purchased the Garmin Edge 305 to go on my Burley Canto. Unfortunately, due to the requirements for aligning the GSC 10 Sensor with the pedal and spoke magnets, I can't use it on my bike. According to the instructions, "Both magnets must be aligned with their respective indication line and be within 5mm of the GSC 10 for the Edge to receive data." This just isn't possible with a LWB recumbent. I understand there is a way to take the sensor apart and rewire it so it works with recumbents, but I'm not comfortable doing that. Garmin really missed on this one. Fortunatly, Amazon is great about accepting returns. Am I disappointed??? Yep.
Would be perfect but..... February 8, 2008
I've used my Garmin Edge 305 nearly every day since purchasing in early Dec. It has everything I need in a gps/cycling computer, the heartrate monitor works well, the wireless speed/cadence feature works great and I love downloading each workout for review on [...]. I didn't realize my addiction until oneday, about two weeks ago, when unplugging it from my computer that it suddenly just stopped working! I went into mini shock hoping it would miracoulously turn back on. Of course it did not. I called Garmin and they acted like they had never heard of one breaking before but they did give me an RA# for return. I sent it back and once they received it they gladly overnighted a new unit my way. I would easily give this product 5 stars had it not died in the first six weeks of its short life. I have heard of other unit failing but I thought I would take my chances. Still, I give this unit four stars because it is great for what it does and because Garmin sent me a replacement in timely fashion. Just be aware that you may encounter a few problems if you purchase this item.
Great gadget, but fairly limited training software January 28, 2008
Must say that the unit works very well, really enjoying it, my only disappointment is the software, I have a polar heart rate monitor as well, and that software is far superior to the Garmin software. The analysis of your training information is not all that good, you cant look at the graph on longer rides as it is too small and you cannot zoom in and many others.
But all in all a great device!
 great value for money - excellent training tool. January 26, 2008
I just got this today and I am already very pleased with it. It took me less than 10 minutes to attach the computer mount and the cadence/speed sensor to my bike and after an initial 3 hour charge I was off on the trails - synch with the sensor and HR monitor was automatic and worked first time. Everything worked perfectly.
I bought this unit so I can train over the winter using a road bike and an indoor trainer, tracking my speed/cadence based on a training plan my coach put together using a power tap and hub. This way I can download data and send it to him so he can track my progress. Much cheaper than a power tap and very effective. I really like the display - prior to this I had been using a wireless bike computer and a Garmin Foreruner- worked well (and the Forerunner is still a great tool for my running) but the 305 Edge is perfect. I have ordered additional cadence sensors and mounts so I can switch between my other bikes once the riding season starts. I am very happy - let's hope the software/hardware grelins don't visit me!
Excellent product January 21, 2008
Very pleased with the product, gives me all the information I want. Can customize screens to my needs, I did have trouble making the cadence function work... so I took it into a bike shop and had them figure it out.
