I’m very late to the power party - last summer was my first year racing with power (P1 left only pedals). I picked up a used Garmin 500 - very cheap because the screen cracked in the mail.
I would get a signal and pair it with the pedals while setting up transition. Sometimes this was fine, but often I had to mess around while riding to connect to satellite and the power meter. Super obnoxious.
Obviously a cracked screen is indicative that more may be broken internally. I’m getting a new head unit this year - thinking the 520 because it would play well with the Forerunner 35 I’m getting.
Is the connection thing typical? Will a 520 be better for that?
