Re: Which 2nd hand bike computer?
I recently picked up a Garmin Edge 810 for £50. It's been really good, but it is the first bike GPS that I've had so i have no comparison.

This thread strikes a lot of chords with me. Riding / fitness / motivation has really tailed off since covid, especially as my main riding buddies are unable to ride any more.

New disco slippers. Specialized Recon 1 in a dashing shade of burgundy. After 60 miles on flats on Sunday I've gone back to the dark side of SPDs. For non-bikepacking activities at least!

Hi, I'm based in Farnham so not far from you. I've got a couple of adventures planned around the south east which is closer than Wales/Scotland! Drop me a msg if you want to come along to test out any kit.

I use a little silver mince pie case to catch any spills and shield the stove from the ground. It works well.
