Just received our Garmin 800

The Garmin 800 arrived yesterday from REI. Had to have them find our membership #. We joined in 1977! I just ordered it on Tuesday. So yesterday I got to play around with it and see just some of what is possible. I did get the mount installed. It will be the Stoker's toy! One of the reason we got it was for the HR monitor. My wife can easily run her rate up to 180+ so we thought that we could keep tabs on her during some of our climbs.
Today we will take a ride up to the LBS so I can borrow a cable stretcher to do a real proper job of installing the Speed/Cadence unit cable ties. They are quite chunky and I always seem to have a problem getting them tight.
The CatEye wired computer that I modified by lengthening the cable started acting up just last week so I am getting a Stem Mount kit so I can have it up front.
So if anyone out there has one and has some tips I am all hears!
Thanks!
