Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Another Garmin 500 question

Anybody know how I can change my power zones? I cant seem to get to the field to manually enter my ftp. The manual doesnt really help, nor does garmin.

Thanks

Have been having similar problems. I can adjust my maximum HR but can not get it to synch with the HR monitor. Have been doing everything by the book but can't get it done. = FRUSTRATION.

I think you have to update the zones on Garmin connect, then upload to the 500. Since I don't have a power meter, I cannot say for sure, but that's how the heart rate zones work.

Up at the very top of the page, in the blue area is 'Settings' , then click on the Training zones tab. At the bottom, is 'show power zones'. Edit the data and save. You need to do this with the device connected.
