Review of Garmin Edge 305

Garmin Edge 305

Rating: 4 out of 5 bicycles

I have been riding with the Garmin Edge 305 for about 1 year now and I must say I love it. If you are looking for a device to motivate you to work a little harder on each and every ride this is it. The Garmin Edge 305 has helped me build a monster and I am not talking about my hyper-competitive nature, I built that monster long ago. This monster rides with me. He always seems to be slightly ahead of me especially on hills. He is beatable but to do it I have to work hard, really hard. The monster that the Edge 305 has helped me create is the virtual training partner that I programmed to appear on the screen. I can program him to run at my personal best or I can program to run at a target pace. The Garmin software allows me to torture myself as I race this virtual partner (I hate him). The Edge shows how far ahead or behind I am, and it even has two icons zooming along, illustrating who is in the lead. My Virtual Training Partner seems to inch ahead of me as we climb the hills spurring me to ride harder. The Edge 305 turns my daily commute into the Tour de France.

The Edge 305 also allows you to track 32 data points, including speed, distance, pedaling cadence, and heart rate. I can take all the data and download it via USB cable to my desktop computer. I can then chart my times to see how I have improved. The Edge 305 comes with desktop software that is easy to use and allows you organize and analyze your riding.

GARMIN MOUNTED ON BIKEThe Edge 305 comes with a strap that goes around the chest and sends heart rate information wirelessly to the receiver. Its highly visible LCD screen, nearly 2 inches diagonally, mounts on handlebars and allows you to customize up to eight different fields for on-display viewing.

The Edge 305 benefits from Garmin’s expertise in making global positioning satellite devices. With GPS data, it’s easier to navigate routes and track performance over the same course so you can measure improvement. It can even tell you the approximate time of sunrise or sunset based on your location.

The Edge 305 comes in three configurations:

  1. Edge 305 with Heart Rate Monitor
  2. Edge 305 with Cadence Sensor
  3. Edge 305 with both Heart Rate and Cadence Sensor
Package Includes:
  • Edge™ 305 with heart rate and/or cadence sensor
  • Bike mount
  • Training Center™ CD
  • A/C charger
  • USB PC interface cable
  • Quick reference guide
  • Owner’s manual

Delirium T All Mountain from Knolly

Filed under Bikes -Mountain, Knolly Frames

Knolly Delirium T Frame available at Outbound Cycle

The Delirium T shares the V-tach’s lineage but puts it to use in a lighter weight and very flexible package. Versatility is the hallmark of the Delirium T All Mountain Frame: a frame perfectly suited to epic big mountain climbs leading to unknown descents while still at home on technical trails and forays into lift serviced riding.

The Delirium T uses the same quad double row angular contact bearing and oversized axle pivot system as its heavier-duty sibling to ensure a high degree of lateral rigidity. However, the lighter frame package and all mountain geometry make it suitable for extended climbing and epic all day riding. Featuring head angle and chain stay length adjustments, the Delirium T can be quickly transformed from epic all mountain mode into a nimble light duty free riding frame or short course DH racer.

Clearance for 2.7″ tires and a climbing capable chain stay (as short as 16.4″) mated with Knolly’s patent pending Four by 4 Linkage create a truly versatile frame. A range of five frame sizes accommodates rider heights from 5 feet and up.

Frame options? How about DH air or coil spring shocks? It’s your choice and either match the low leverage ratio suspension design. Have a penchant for riding a bit more aggressively than your friends? Opt to upgrade the standard 135 quick release dropouts to our optional 135 x 12mm thru axle system.

While we aren’t purveyors of The One Bike Myth, if we had to choose only one bike, this would be it.

See a great review and bike build using the Delirium T frame from Knolly on Pink Bike.
