The lack of touch screen is infuriating, things that should be easy are frustratingly slow to do, but it is configured how I want it. And seeing the gears displayed on the screen is a bit of a novelty (it discovered SRAM E-Tap on my bike) Seeing the gear battery indication though is useful. Phone integration is also quite a different thing coming from an ancient Garmin 800.
Otherwise just riding heaps.

It always makes me wonder why they went from a touch screen with the Garmin 510 to a non-touch screen with the 520. For a computer that is that complex you would think it would have a computer. My 3T Eye by comparison is just a display for my iPhone which is running all the complex ANT+ stuff (speed, power, cadence and so on) safely in my jersey pocket. But yeah, to have a full featured bicycle computer without a touch screen, it seems like a step backwards for Garmin.g-boaf wrote:Getting to grips with a Garmin 520.

On the plus side it was a nice day for a ride, especially as this is my second "real" ride back after breaking my ribs 3 weeks ago.

Very tidy bike, although the handlebars are quite narrow (620mm) and I'm checking out upgrades. Everything else works well...I can certainly feel the benefit of higher spec derailleurs (Deore XT/Alivio v Acera/Altus that I had on my old Giant...plus the better gear/brake levers and the brakes themselves), and I'm keen to take it off road a little more when the temp drops.

Also while they were sans tube and tyre, I weighed the wheels with QR skewers and disc rotors attached (Giant PR-2 alloy wheels) - 1.095kg front, and 1.305kg rear (1.625kg incl cassette).

Bought a chain that came with a Shimano quick link. Never again, give me the KMC any day.
Nothing quick about the Shimano one, very tight to lock in place!
