I agree that this estimate is very accurate After a few months of poor training it was telling me less than 100miles but I did my full century anyway No that I’m back to regular training it’s always over 200 miles when I start my rides. FYI my Garmin Edge 840 is paired with the Garmin Pro strap and Rally XC power pedals
Hello my apologies but I never had an 830. For my purposes I think the 1040 Solar solves my issues. I am an ultra cyclist. The battery life is incredible. I did a 32 hour 600km with 8,000 meters of climbing (26,500 feet) and never had to plug it in to recharge. I like the large screen for my aging eyes too :-) For me it was totally worth the HUGE ticket price. Thanks for watching please consider subscribing.
@@deDANIEL11609 if you do a 14h ride and there is decent sun you will probably still have 60-65% battery life. If you’re in the USA and are interested in purchasing a 1040 Solar or any Garmin I would like to earn your business!
FYI - I rode a 200 miler (322km) with cloudy morning and good sunshine in the afternoon. 12 hours rolling and 12:52 total time I still had 77% battery life remaining - with power meter, heart rate strap and best GPS selected. www.strava.com/activities/11716571159
IDK. Was getting too distracted by all the telemetry - too much brain wasted watching numbers. Gone back to the way things were. No phone, no computer, friction shift, but sometimes a GPS watch.
Enjoying the simple life eh? I like numbers and data. I need route turn by turn for my unsupported brevets. When riding on my own I generally just look at power, heart rate, pedal time distance and elevation. The rest is just extra. Also when racing I turn off almost all screens and only have 3 screens. Thanks for watching Rod!
@@SeeYouUpTheRoad Ack, I'm totally retrogrouching. Nevertheless, I get more than enough data from screens on the job; which means, less is more elsewhere. Ciao George.
ha ha! In the last 3 events I have done 3 electronic shifting failures. One had to DNF the other needed a replacement bike, the third had to climb a 9% average grade for 3 miles with ramps over 13% in his big ring and his largest cog because the rear shifting was iffy and the front was not shifting at all. Yeah I'll keep hand swiping 🙂
@@SeeYouUpTheRoad Just messing with you. i know seen the videos. I have many bikes from modern 32C disc di2 to full retro-grouch rim brake 23mm. Whenever i hop on my retro-grouch that's the one thing I miss and find myself trying to press the tops of my shifters at least a few times per ride forgetting its not there.

sounds good basically
thinking about upgrading from 830... Is it worth it?

@@SeeYouUpTheRoad glad to hear. How much battery did you have after this huge ride? I also enjoy longer rides, but 14h was the biggest one so far.

You need electronic shifting so you don't have to handswipe the Garmin.
