i don't mind. If you wait a year they usually work out all the bugs and lower the price, so i'll just stick w/my 500 till then. Really isn't anything for ME worth upgrading to the 510 anyway, so i might just wait till it breaks.

I don't care what y'all say, I will continue to do my share to keep the cheap chinese generic carbon parts suppliers and resellers in business...
(hopefully I won't lose any expensive water bottles in the process - these babies are a little looser than the Arundel Mandibles)

They are having issues with them. I can look down during a climb and see 300, 300, 120, 300, 300, 87, etc, etc. It is really screwing up my numbers. I have gone back to my 500 until they get it fixed. The problem is with both the 510 and the 810.
Here is my report to Garmin.
Here is a nice thread about it.

I was going to buy a 510 but I'll just use the powertap computer.

I bought the 810 so that my wife would be able to locate me in case of an emergency.

it's the Look/Polar power meter pedal system.

Connects with phone, when the ride starts it sends an e-mail to people that you wish to be able to follow you. They can follow you live via Garmin's site during the ride.

I tested it by using the Quarq with both the 810 and my 500 during the same ride. The 500 still works perfect. Many others on the Garmin site have done the same thing. It is doing the same thing with powertaps. I appreciate the suggestion though.

^ok. Mine did it with both my 705 and 500 (I'm a generation behind you---LOL). Good luck fixing the issue, I know how much of a PITA that was to deal with. I hope Garmin is as good to you as Quarq was to me.

I'm seeing the dropouts on my PowerTap, but not nearly with the frequency that some others are seeing them.

I hope the location data is being pulled from the Garmin thru the satellite using Garmin resources, and not hogging your phone's cell data for the entire ride.

Not too bad on a three hour ride. Haven't ridden longer than that with it yet.

I get 4gb of data a month, use my data all the time while I am at work including Pandora. I don't even switch to wifi when I get home, just stay on 4g. I still don't go over 2 gb a month including last month when I used the 810 on about 5 or 6 rides.

This setup saves your phone battery because Edge tracks the data and sends it to your phone using a Bluetooth® connection

Got these in the mail today. Just warming up the oven now so they can be molded.
Not the prettiest shoes in the market, but I'm hoping they're going to fix some of my foot problems and be a lot more comfortable than my old beat up sidis.
