I think the 200 is out of the picture, it doesn't have the possibility of adding cadence or heart rate monitors if I feel like it. I think I may end up buying the 510 because pretty.

There's a seller in taiwan (closer ;) )who sell's them NIB for cheap on ebay.
Only catch is you have to navigate the menu to change from traditional chinese to english (it's on there) and update using garmin's tw site.

That's so much effort haha, i'm more than happy to pay $240 brand new in box for the edge 510, I think i'll buy that!

blondieyo 04-16-13 09:15 PM

Also I couldn't find them for anything less than 297 with a quick ebay search so i'm guessing 240 is going to be pretty hard to beat!

What website are you grabbing it from? And what's the coupon code? I want a 510 bundle, haha!

I got it off Wiggle.com! and the coupon code was '20-OFF'. The $240 was with the 20% off and not including the bundle so just the basics. Hope that helps!

Actually after going back to wiggle and putting in your US settings I don't think you can send it to America :( Sorry for getting your hopes up! haha

SpeshulEd 04-18-13 07:05 AM

Ha, the 510 doesn't even come up on the US site. No big deal, thanks anyway! Sooner or later I'll find a good deal on one.

stans arch for vaya, take vaya DT rims for mtb and go 32 front and 11-36 rear

Should I go 48x18 (70.3) or 48x19 (66.6) with my Leader build? I feel a little over-geared, for my fitness level, on my Clockwork which is 46x17 (71.4). I'm afraid 70.3 would feel almost the same, while 66.6 would be too extreme a change. FWIW I start bouncing at cadence of about 110+.

Also, I miss the general questions thread.

You'll love 48/19. I'm currently 42/17 (65 GI) and it feels so good. That's coming from 46/17, which i was actually ok with, but I wanted something more knee-friendly for brakeless riding.
