Feature request: Allow you to assign a default bike (gear) to different activities

Justin

Would love it if I could have a default bike assigned to different activities on my Edge 520 Plus. That way if I select ride type: mountain biking, it will default to my mountain bike, racing to my race bike, touring to my touring bike, etc.

    totally agree i just realised this feature to be missing its also very difficult to modify the gear used in connect, easy in strava though. it seems strange yout can setup profiles for road ride and mtb ride and the post correctly BUT the activity is cycling with default gear, i have found no way to add an activity type of mtb to resolve this. this is surely a simple request

    I submitted a feature request here: www.garmin.com/www.garmin.com/.../

    I suggest we all do the same. Maybe if Garmin gets a bunch of requests for the same feature, they might implement it. 

    Here is the text of my request if you want to copy/paste it:

    I have an edge 530 (though I'm sure this applies to all edge devices) which uses activity profiles. The feature idea is to allow me to associate default gear with an activity profile. For example my spin bike with my Indoor profile, MTB with my MTB profile, and road bike with my Road profile.

    As it currently stands, all activities use the same gear item, and I have to change the gear after I finish the activity.

    I agree that we should be able to set a mountain bike from our gear to a mountain bike activity and a road bike from our gear to a road bike activity, etc.  (Just weighing in to encourage Garmin to add this feature.)

    I agree that it makes complete sense to be able to assign a default mountain bike from your gear to your mountain bike activity, and a default road bike from your gear to your road bike activity, etc.  (Just weighing in to encourage Garmin to adopt this common sense feature.)
