now to figure out how to set up new screens.
Time of day or ride time is useful, I don't have a Garmin so no idea what can/can't be displayed.
On my SRM I just put stuff on the screen, like a velcro strap (cable organizer/manager for computers) covering the center (power and HR). At the top it showed the ride time and distance (it alternates every 5 seconds on the SRM). It shows cadence and speed at the bottom. This way I'd have an idea of my ride time. I realized I wanted to see speed/cadence because if speed doesn't register then the SRM doesn't turn on and the clock at the top is too similar to ride time, at first glance.
At the last 2015 Aetna Nutmeg Spring Series race I first looked down at the SRM with less than 12 minutes to go in the race. I realized then that I'd knocked the wheel/speed pick up off a bit so the SRM had never turned on. I turned it on and got 13 minutes of data including the very slow warm down lap.
