Cycling with FR 945

Former Member over 5 years ago

Looking for other suggestions on how to best capture data on my cycling activities. This is what I do now, I use my Edge 130 that is synced with HRM, cadence and speed sensors. (No power meter yet). I also sync HRM and cadence and speed sensors to my FR 945. I know that just using the Edge 130 I don't get any of the training status numbers. So when I stop I save the data from my FR 945 and discard the data from my Edge. Does anyone else have any other suggestions or work arounds?

I don't know if this will meet all your needs, but there is a way to use your watch to capture data and your Edge 130 as a remote display.

I replaced my old Edge 520 and Vivoactive HR with the FR945 and mount the FR945 on a quarter turn mount that I screwed into the stem. The Quick Release kit (https://buy.garmin.com/en-GB/GB/p/557702) looks fugly but as long as you are happy to fit quick release bars to your watch - you may need a new QR strap if you haven't already done this - then the big mount thing is unnecessary. I only used the part in the lower middle of the product photo, the other bits are surplus.

The stem mount I got online for about £2 in aluminium.

Correct.
