Missing Metrics

2026-06-09T14:04:49+00:00

Any idea why the bike assist mode, remaining battery are blank data fields but power and cadence fields display accurately on my Garmin 850 added as a sensor which automatically created an e-bike profile but some e-bike metric fields show up but remain empty?

Garmin Edge

2026-06-09T07:47:42+00:00

Should I buy the Garmin Edge 1050 or wait for the 1060? It's not something I'm in a huge rush to get, but I do think that with a 1050 I'd have what I need, but I'm worried about missing out on the 1060.

Issue with heart readings

2026-06-09T01:52:10+00:00

I have a HRM Pro (the one with the lime green seal). I’ve had it for a couple years connected to my Edge 840 without issue.

In the last week or so, my heart rate on the Edge has been topping out at 155 when I know I’m hitting in the 170s at least. I changed the battery even though the status was good. No change.

It’s getting frustrating that my readings are off when I know I’m working harder on my rides than is says I am.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to recalibrate this sensor?

Rotate out front mount 90 degrees

2026-06-07T16:42:11+00:00

Not sure if this is completely obvious to everybody but me, but it turns out you can rotate the quarter turn mount on an outfront mount by 90 degrees easily.

All you need to do is unscrew the quarter turn mount and screw it back in the other set of holes.

My wife recently got a trike and we were trying to figure out a good way to mount her 1030, when I noticed the screws.

Garmin edge 840 battery drain

2026-06-07T11:53:36+00:00

Hello, I am new to the whole bike computers thing and I recently got a new Garmin edge 840 because I saw reviews and posts that is a very good unit with great battery life, better than 850. But I think the battery life of my unit is less than advertised.

For example, today I did road cycling for 4,5 hours and it went from 100% to 80%. Is that normal? Isn’t it supposed to last about 30 hours?

I didn’t use navigation today, but I have hr chest strap connected and power meter pedals (favero) all with ant+. Also I carry my phone with me and I think it auto connects to the Bluetooth but I don’t know what impact this has on battery.

Also, I noticed that while I completely power it off after rides, I find it loses 1-2% after some days.

Is this behavior normal or I should return it? Thanks
(Running the latest software update)

Edge 540 HRM & PM Disconnects

2026-06-07T15:22:58+00:00

Posted this in Garmin's own forum with no replies yet.

Edge 540. Software version 31.29

I'm constantly seeing both my HRM Dual and Assioma Duo disconnect from Edge 540 during activities, both indoor and outdoor. Never happens with my Wahoo Bolt. This has been ongoing with my Edge since I bought it over a year ago.

I've contacted customer support. They sent a link to show me how to log an activity when the disconnection happens. I've sent 2 mails since the original but not getting replies back now.

It's incredibly frustrating. Does anyone know how to fix this? Seems common enough issue but none of the suggested fixes I've seen online work (bar turning off Bluetooth on my phone, which totally defeats the purpose of having Bluetooth sync functionality). Besides, I shouldn't have to do this on a piece of kit that costs as much as the Edge 540.

Thanks in advance

850 Doesn't connect to sensors after ride break

2026-06-06T21:19:53+00:00

I had a situation today but also before.

I went on a 58 km ride today. At around 20 km mark we stopped for a coffee. Paused the ride on the Edge, took it from the mount and locked/ sleep the edge.

20 mins later when I went back, sensors won't connect (HR, speed, cadence, varia). Tapping "connect" manually didn't help either. The Edge was also very laggy, would hit the ON button and turn on a minute later.

One thing that happened while I was sitting in the first minute was that the edge kept connecting/ disconnecting from the sensors (and making all the annoying sounds)

The only thing that "fixed" the issue was stopping, finishing, saving, turn off completely, turn on but then I got 2 rides I had to merge later and had ~5km without sensors and without varia whilst I was on a 70kms road (not very busy luckily, I'd say busier with bikers and motorcycles)...

Is there any way to prevent this?

Garmin edge 1040 (solar) tyrewiz psi data not showing after firmware update

2026-06-05T01:30:39+00:00

Had a firmware update lastnight on my rear tyrewiz sensor (I have 2 sets the original rear seal leaked and allowed water in battery cover) still to lazy to swap the front to the new one as original still functions fine.

Also getting the low battery in the AXS app constantly. I did what tech advised bend the prongs to ensure full contact, tried several battery brands and occasionally it is fine but usually reverts to low shortly after.

Also anyone have an edge mtb remote they’d sell? Dm me please thank you

New Garmin launch "confirmed"

2026-06-04T10:52:20+00:00

there's a bit of chat on a few rumour sites that a new Garmin cycling computer has been added to regulatory databases in UAE & Malaysia so obviously people are speculating this is either an Edge 1060 (hopefully!) or a 1050 Solar (not too interested in that personally)

whatever it is, will it be released this month? Have to wait and see 🤣

How can I make a D-Fly input unassigned?

2026-06-04T13:52:56+00:00

I have an Edge 1050 and Dura Ace Di2.

After getting my Di2 firmware updated, I can now use "Front Shift Next", which frees up my Left Y input to use as D-Fly and use for whatever via my Edge.

I also have my left and right "A" buttons set as D Fly channels (So 3 D-Fly in total)

For both "A" inputs, the left and right default to this:

Single Press: Prev/Next Page

Double Press: Prev/Next Page

Long Press: Prev/Next Page

I not only want to assign these to different things (all good, that works fine), but I also want double press to be "Unassigned" - there is no option for this.

When connecting my Left Y input via D Fly to my Edge, all 3 (single, double and long press) come up as "Unassigned", so I know unassigned/null/undefined is a possible value for these keys.

I assume this happens because the two "A" buttons are the usual suspects for people to use for D-Fly, so Garmin has added defaults.

Whereas my Left "Y" being used as D-Fly is not a common thing, so they've not added defaults.

Is there a bug where the "Unassigned" option is missing from the list?

I am running latest firmware on the 1050.

Many thanks for any help

MTB, 840 or 850?

2026-06-03T19:31:45+00:00

Last year I sold my 830 as I was going to update.

Problem now is I can’t decide which to update to..

My main issue with the 830 was poor guidance when following a route in the woods. I only used this feature one week a year when riding in the Alps. The rest of the time it’s just tracking rides.

How is the Edge for route guidance compared to the x30 series? I’d read in a review that the x50 series is much better..

The MTB is most tempting due to price point, size and the Enduro/DH gates feature. But the 840 is tempting as I know the touchscreen is way more convenient. Has the 840 received the enduro/DH floated features?

Or should I just bite the bullet and get the 850?

Thanks

How to use discount code and gift card

2026-06-03T12:10:29+00:00

I am looking to buy the Edge 850 computer and have a BCBS 20% discount code and a gift card for $350. The issue I have is that Garmin does not accept two forms of payment so I can’t use my gift card and pay the remaining balance with my credit card. I can use the gift card elsewhere and pay the balance but then I can’t use the 20% discount code. Doesn’t seem like there is a way to get the best of both worlds. Any suggestions?

Grade % seems to be lagging behind on edge 840

2026-06-01T20:15:32+00:00

Hello - I noticed recently on my edge 840 that the grade % is lagging. So I’ll be on a climb and it’s still showing the grade from a few feet back…. Then it shows me the climb grade once I’m back on flat. I downloaded my maps offline using garmin express, installed any available updates, etc…. Anyone else ever experience this? And what’s the fix?

Bike Computer Advice

2026-05-31T21:51:57+00:00

I want to spend no more than $700CAD.

I’m really between a Garmin Edge 840 ($550), Edge 850 ($700), Wahoo Roam or Ace (around or just below $700) or Hammerhead Karoo ($700).

(And, just for the sake of argument, I can get an Edge 1050 for $839).

The only other inputs I’m using now are a Coros HR monitor and Garmin Varia radar.

I’m not otherwise tied to any brand.

I want good/clear navigation on roads and light trails in the city. Since I’m using it for some nav, screen can’t be tiny, but I don’t think that’s an issue with any.

I’d like reliable live tracking (for my wife’s peace of mind), but if I carry my phone, it also has that.

I’d like incident/crash detection, as I’m riding solo a lot. On that note, I see that the Karoo doesn’t have it natively built in but there may be a third party app. Not sure if it’s any good…

Hi all, i am a new owner of a Garmin Edge 1050 - it replaces a 1030 which had one too many offs and the rear lock broke 😞

Does anyone know of a desktop mount which would be available to buy that could support charging via the back connectors as opposed to the usb-c charging port?

Garmin 1050 Power Off

2026-05-31T00:21:00+00:00

When I power off my Garmin 1050 it continues to show the power off icon.
Happens repeatedly.
Anyone else?
How do you avoid?
I can’t keep resetting it multiple times guessing when it will truly power off.
What a PITA this device has been.
Ready to go back to my older model.

Can‘t decide between 850 or 1040

2026-05-29T21:20:11+00:00

Hi everyone,

Im looking to upgrade my bike computer and I‘ve limited my options to edge 850 and 1040. I am coming from a Wahoo Bolt V2 and have no experience with Edge devices in general.

I am unsure what to think of the screen size of 1040. the 850 would already be an upgrade to my Bolt V2 concerning the screen size and I think I‘d be perfectly fine with it in theory.

I guess the real question comes down to if I should stick with the more compact size and „nice“ screen of 850 or should I consider the previous flagship and just go big. Both pack much more features than I ever need in that sense.

It seems like battery life is a critical point for 850 (and a winning point for 1040); though 8-10 hours of screen time is more than what I do and I don‘t necessarily need the excellency of 1040‘s battery. Had no problems with my Bolt V2 during long bikepacking days either…

I could really use some real world experience with both, perhaps some of you were also stuck between the two models?

Thanks a lot! :)

Edge-use case for a Garmin Edge

2026-05-28T15:46:32+00:00

I have a recently buried fiber optic line on my property that I'd like to keep track of so that it doesnt get severed during lawn aeration in the future (it isn't buried deeply). I can see exactly where the drop bury occurred now and want to retain an accurate map so that it can be flagged next year during aeration. Anyone ever use an Edge unit (I have an Edge 1050) to trace the location of a buried line or other feature on their property (obviously this wouldn't be used for gas/electric)?
