Don’t push the buttons on the left and right shifter. It’s not good for your health.
Got the garmin 530 set up, and was trying to pick my preferences.
It allows for 10. I picked distance, speed, avg power, 3 second power, heart rate, light battery, light selection, lights connected, and gears. For some reason it has heart rate twice and I can’t figure out why?
Remember that you've got multiple screens.
And three fields dedicated to lights?
When your batteries are low, you should get a notification - I don't see much need to keep track of them beyond that.
Off the top of my head, I have:
Speed
Distance
3sec power
Cadence
HR
kJ (helps with longer-term pacing)
Time of day (I got places to be)
Ride time (again, pacing)
Direction (navigation and wind considerations)
To me, average power isn't that important unless I'm doing an interval, so it's in my lap screen, not my main screen.
