Recommedation for cheap GPS bicycle computer

Hi

Can anyone recommend good GPS bike computer in range from 50euro to 100 euro.

It must be compatible with Strava.

Thanks!! )))

What about a decent frame bag for your phone if you have a decent model that had good enough battery?

I’d recommend looking for something like a Garmin 510, theres plenty of them second hand for in and around the price you’re looking to pay, they connect via Garmin’s app to Strava, it’s pretty flawless IME!

You can connect speed sensors/heart rate monitors etc too.

Limited enough live navigation options, but from what I remember when I owned you could load routes onto it, but it didn’t have turn by turn!

Garmin Edge 130 drops below 100 from time to time. I have one, never used the maps on it but works great and very compact

I thought no chance at this price, but looks like there is actually a lot of decent enough units at this price point!

Yeah you just won't get great mapping functionality but for GPS, Strava connection, pairing with sensors and seeing speed, cadence, distance etc. on the go you will get something in that range.

The Garmin Edge 520 was sold off for a bit more than your budget when the 530 came out around a year or so ago, there may not be many left around but might be worth checking online

Yes it can if you have a cadence sensor.

I have the cadence sensor but cant seem to change the display options.
The cadence is working as I see it in the Garmin connect.

What device are you using?

You may need to go into the settings and configure the data displayed on the screen

They used the title field but you cant see that on all versions of boards. Edge 520.

Looking for something in the same price bracket for my son. Has anyone bought the Xoss.?

Looks like they are from Hong Kong, is this where they are shipped from making inport duty a risk.?

Which model.

Even at €40 you're likely to get stung for a €15 handling fee from the carrier for the €8 VAT that'd be due. Also shipping from the far east is a hot mess at the moment.

That's what I'd be worried about, getting stung for all that and in the end maybe only saving a tenner on a cheap Garmin model. Yes it was the €40 model I was looking at..

Found one on Ebay if the OP is still looking for something. Despatched from the UK and free postage to parcel motel.

May not be what you were looking for but sure it will be good enough for my 10 year old..

Yeah, probably fine for recording for later, not sure how much use it'd be on the road. Sure no harm trying.
