It wasn’t any higher than normal.

My ex riding buddy was here for the month of December. He had the brifters from which the cable exits at a right angle. He was complaining of squishy shifting in the rear. I told him what I had heard about the fraying cables. This man knows NOTHING about mechanics of any stripe. He's a free-lance translator. Anyway, I suggested he take it to a shop. Then he went back to Spain. He will return to find the problem worsened, unless his son takes care of it.

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??

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 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.

Honestly, if the 130 had a decent battery I would just stick with that.

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.

I will concur that the 530 is a really good unit. My only complaint was the ability to hear the tone.
