Never heard of “on the rivet”. As well as rocking, I did slide pretty far forward. I had a death grip on my hoods, and my back was cramping by mile 28, which has never happened on the madone.

How high was the cadence? Over 115 and I start to rock and bounce a bit

I know when I am riding out of my class I have felt that way, not like something is wrong but more like something isn't right. I think it's just how our physicality *****es about being asked to do something that hard for an extended length of time. As far as feeling sick, you are doing it correct. I get that quite often under hard efforts. I have actually thrown up twice that I can recall on the bike because of it. I had just eaten and the ride leader decided it was breakaway time. I felt better afterwards, but never caught back up.

I am fed up with the crap battery life on my Garmin 130. I do want something that will be reliable and integrate well with my Varia, but not too pricey.

I am leaning towards an Edge 530 or maybe a gently used 520. Comments??

Are you locked in to Garmin? I’ve been very happy with my Wahoo Bolt, but I don’t have experience with others.

I can now hear the tone from the Varia. I also have the 530, but the chime is too soft to overcome the wind through my ears.

Plus, I can now read the damn thing without glasses.

It's a bunch of money, but it is a life-safety issue.

The 530 has been awesome. Great battery life, nice screen and maps.

A riding buddy has a 520 - when connected to my Varia, every alert kicked on the screen backlight and it significantly shortened the battery life of his 520 to the point that he gave up and disconnected. I'm not sure if that's been addressed via firmware, yet.

Will consider the Bolt, it's apparently comparable to the Garmin. I am not locked in, as long as the device does its job with routing turn-by-turn routes and plays nice with my Varia radar which the Bolt does.

Having used both with the Varia, I'd go Garmin. Maps/nav is better on the Garmin and, while the Bolt does fine with the ANT+ Radar, it doesn't do ANT+ Lights (at least it didn't a year and a half ago), which is a nice little thing to have.
