Hi Guys, I own a fantastic Fenix 3, the only thing that I am unhappy is that I do not have all the data in front of me constantly, plus I am a gear junky.
What are the best ciclyng computer for a MTB user?

Garmin 520 with a wheel sensor is a good setup.

Justa heads up Mr. B. That avatar is already in use on this board by another member and may be confused with someone else. Pretty RAD though!

wahoo element bolt.  Had Garmin 500 for years, had a lot of issues with gps not picking up segments, wanted to upgrade but fear the 520 may do the same.  Did a lot of reading on 520 and element bolt comparison and they all pick element bolt.  Needless to say, got me the element bolt and loved it on the first ride.

Yeah, this is me...BigToe.  My account got all jacked up and Jerry wasn't able to fully fix it so I ditched the alias, but kept the picture.  Figured people would remember the avatar better than the handle.
