Garmin should really track jumps in commuter mode if mountain biking profile is toggled as an option because I'm always popping off speed bumps and down stairs and it'd make getting about on the bike way more fun, if only I could've added this comment when this video was new so they might of actually seen it
I'm in the long term phase of looking into a bike computer. Lots of general online stuff is pointing to a cheaper (but seemingly better received) Wahoo element roam than Garmin edge 830. But it seems like the Garmin may have (does it?) more MTB features. Whatever I get I care most about GPS mapping, but do MTB + road + gravel. So if the garmin rules for MTB then it's the winner. Although I care about generally improving and fitness, I'm not currently planning on ever doing any kind of strict training thing, so like strava-ing road routes and getting faster, but MTB wins over 101 different fitness metrics. I just cycle a lot for fun when I have time. So I'm lost at deciding on all-disciplines real-world usage for me. 🤷♂🤷♂
I use my crappy 4 year old iPhone for strava, if it gets broken it's no big deal as it's wayyy cheaper than my main phone and is tiny and light weight 👍
Grit, Flow, Heart Rate, Respiration Rate (which I find very useful for awareness and control heart rate), map, compass, cadence, distance, ascent, ride and total time. I mostly use one or two screens with first 5. Jump function is hard to review, for me it needs improvement, because their hard to locate and compare on the map. Example: #1 jump in ride… great!… but where was it? Answer: sit down, get a coffee cus it’s going to be a while until you find the answer.
Idea for your next video: "The 5 best gears to ride in"... Featuring gear 2, 4, 7, 9 and 10!
Nice video. I find it funny how some some gps devices don't track some segments here in Colombia.

How do you setup your GPS computer? As always, let us know in the comments!

Yeah
I just use my phone
It gives me the full variety available in the AppStore.

But do they tell you how much fun you are having ....🤔
Great features about the Garmin, just a shame the battery is pump!
PS that screen brightness/vividness has been artificially enhanced because my 1030 plus is no way that good and I wish it were!
Because most people feel a Garmin is best suited for Road riders but that’s is a complete misconception.
Wahoo Roam is much better from the user experience point of view.
I always ask myself if these presenters will regret that they once were part of the bicycle QVC?
Presenter: 5:25 "how many carbs"
Me (fat adapted): "Zero". #ketones
they speak funny
Are they from Alabama?
Step one, turn off Garmin. Step two, go ride.
