View Full Version : Garmin Edge 305 Online Sources
By request, here are some good places to get the 305 at a reasonable price. I've looked around local and the prices seem to be $100 over what it can be had online for.
A word of warning. DO NOT buy from Ebay. Garmin will not give you any tech support on the device.
This is where I got mine.

$282.00 delivered to your door. I believe with overnight shipping, it was $299.00
Another good place is from GeoMan. A lot of people on BikeForums.Net have bought from him and the service is very good. He's a little more expensive tho.

Hi all,
I noticed some traffic to our site from this thread so I came over to visit. Looks like a terrific organization. Glad I registered! Thanks for your support!
Two points/corrections I'd like to make:
1) Our delivered price on the Edge 305 Bundle (HR + CAD) is now $277 (or thereabouts - UPS could be slightly different from USPS) but we'll gladly deliver for $277. Our site calculates shipping and we offer overnight delivery too.
2) Garmin gives tech support to eBay purchases. The only thing that Garmin says is that you should "beware of eBay purchases" - they will not replace any missing parts from eBay purchases. Other than that, their warranty, etc. is exactly the same as if you bought from the GeoMan (http://www.geomangear.com) website, for instance. BTW, their warranty is for one year from date of purchase. Having sold somewhere over 2,200 Edge Bundles, we've run into a few warranty issues and have seen nothing but terrific service from Garmin. I've seen Edge's crushed in SUV hatchbacks replaced (for a very nominal fee) by Garmin and I've seen Garmin overnight replacements if the situation warranted it. Overall, they aim to please.
Thanks for your time.

While the 305 is of interest to me, the 60Csx appeals to me even more. If one doesn't care about cadence and HR, isn't the 60Csx a better biking GPS unit? Would the lack of cadence and HR be the only drawbacks of the 60Csx on a bike?
Depends on what youre trying to do. The 60Csx only has base maps loaded so a lot of rural roads probably arent on it but you could buy MapSource and load them I guess. If you want true navigation then its probably the better choice.

I just found a Powerbar/Garmin promotion on the Powerbar website http://www.powerbar.com/ when you sign up for the nutrition newsletter worth $75 back on an Edge 305 purchased from June 1 to Nov 2007!!!
That basically takes the Edge down to $200 net!! I was also checking out some of the Polar meters, but with the rebate price the Garmin is looking mighty attractive.
I saw some Garmins at the Cup-n-Cone last week. I'm upgrading from a very low end Trek mainly to get the HR and cadence features, but I also saw the Garmin motion posting on this board and was totally blown away!
So for you experienced Garmin 305 users, is this a definite Buy Recommendation? Any Garmin downside that should make me still consider one of the Polar units?
The Polar is junk compared to a Garmin. I had one.. it wasnt anything special. The sensors are clunky and dont work all that great.
The Garmin 305 is where its at.

Thanks for the feedback! I just ordered the 305 and am really looking forward to it!
Three questions: Is motionbased the way to go, or are you using the Garmin software or something else?
I didn't see "Total Distance" or odometer mentioned in the 305 owner's manual. How are you keeping track of total mileage on a specific bike or is it really there?
Do you use the updater to keep on the latest Garmin version of edge unit software and if so, does Garmin have a good track record of fixing bugs with their new releases vs. introducing new ones with the updates? Do you intentionally wait to load the latest or do you trust them when they come out with a new release?
Thanks,
Eric

Hi folks, I'm a newbie and wanted to say hello and chime in. I have been riding for a few months and have had a road bike for just over a month. I think about 550-575 miles on my road bike.
I started on a 10 year old Wal-Mart $99 Huffy special for several weeks to ensure that biking was "my thing" and that I'd stick to it before buying a decent road bike. Late last month my wife and I picked up some Specialized carbon frame bikes and we are very happy with them. I also got a great deal on a Garmin 305 so I got one as well.
If anyone wants to check out my Motionbased rides, here they are:
Click here for my Motionbased ride log (http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/user/brianamarks)
I forgot to re-start the timer on one of the rides and another one did not get uploaded due to a wacked out satellite datastream one day, but all the others are there. Go easy on me if you have any comments! :)
I look forward to meeting more of the locals and would like to start riding with groups and getting better. I do this mainly for exercise and to get off my a** and office chair, but I do like to improve at whatever I do, so that part will come.
I have found the 305 to be very reliable and easy to use, and the route feature works quite well. It does keep track of total mileage although I reset mine trying to figure out why it wacked out that one day only to find out that it was probably not initialized properly before I rode off. I haven't had to update the firmware yet at all...
The only thing left to do is figure out my lactate threshold and Vo2max and find out how to train properly so I don't over-do it. Oh, and find out why my knees are starting to hurt as well. As far as the bike shop fit and everything I read says, the bike is set up perfectly, but my knees are starting to hurt some. I could be over-doing it or it could be setup. Looking for some advice on that for sure!
Sorry so long - see you all around sometime soon I hope!

where are your knees hurting? i've just started back to riding (well, the middle of July) after being off the bike for 8 wks due to tendonitis/bursitis in my right knee. if you've just started riding, which you indicate you have, it could just be an overuse type of thing. do you stretch after your rides?
i had to start stretching and continue to do so 2x a day because i had tight hamstrings. i also had to work on strengthening the VMO muscle of the quad because it was weaker than the rest of the quad muscles.
PM or email with questions.

Hi Karen! Thanks for the response. Funny you should mention that - I was talking with Zonda offline a bit and she mentioned you thought it may be your shoes...I am using Specialized Comp road shoes and had them adjusted at the Bicycle Chain on Glenwood, but that doesn't mean I am not over-doing it or possibly have something mis-adjusted.
Several weeks ago, my left knee started making a loud (and strange feeling) popping - very loud and violent - if I knelt down all the way to where my achilles tendon was touching my butt and then stood up straight from that position. It still does this and feels weird but is not a lot of pain, per se. The right knee had been hurting last Saturday after attempting to help some guys lift a big 200lb cabinet and so I took it easy after that.
I don't get any pain or discomfort on the bike at all, and I have not been stretching as much as I should, although I did have a physical therapist friend over yesterday and she checked me out and said exactly what you did - that my VMO needs more strength because my outer quad seems to be way too strong compared to the inner quad, and it's pulling my knee outward instead of allowing it to track straight when the muscles tighten. She said I should do some squat exercises while squeezing a ball between my knees to strengthen the VMO and see if that helps.
Due to the number of variables I'm concerned about all of them and am not sure yet exactly what the cause is - or if it's a combination of many things. For now I plan to take a few days off to rest and then see where I go from there. What do you think?
KarenG
08-31-2007, 07:55 PM
yea, i think a couple of days off the bike might be best. i was prescribed the stretching exercises by the PT as well as to do wall squats and lunges. i started with 20 squats and worked up to 35; lunges were walking lunges and i started at 20 per each leg (40total), working up to 40 per each leg AND using 10# dumbells at the PT. i love to do lunges:). i also belong to a gym and will start working out there about the first of october and continue until around march.
my shoes...i have ridden with specialized pro carbon road shoes since the first of the year. after i got hurt, JayC pointed out a post (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=323226&highlight=sidi+knee+pain) on bike forums where the poster wondered whether his specialized shoes were causing his knee(s) to hurt. seems the problem with the specialized body geometry is that it corrects for pronation (wearing the inside heel side of your shoes out), which about 90% of people do. for those of us who wear out the outside edge, this was over correcting for a condition we didn't have. JayC also began having problems with his knee after changing from Sidi's to Specialized. he went back to Sidi shoes. i purchased a pair of Sidi 6.6's off of ebay about 3 wks ago and i think they are the best thing since sliced bread.
the pain in my right knee was medial side, from about 2-3" below the kneecap to about 1-2" above. PT diagnosed as pes anserine bursitis. anyways, take care of the knees and check to see if you have the pronation or not....

Excellent information. How can I tell if I pronate or not? I forget what the New Balance store guys tell me when I go in to buy shoes (I have since found a better source than the retail store, so it's been a while since I was in there)....I checked out some old shoes but it's really not obvious if the wear is inside, outside, or even.
KarenG
08-31-2007, 08:10 PM
well, i believe JayC told me that if you stand on one leg and then squat down about 1/3, if your kneecap tracks towards the outside, then you don't want to be wearing the specialized shoes. i think there was a plumbob involved, but i didn't need to use one - you could see my kneecap move outwards. also, i definitely have a wear pattern on the outside of my shoes. have someone watch your knee as you squat down, it may or may not be as noticeable as mine...JayC watched mine and said they definitely moved out.

If that test is accurate, the knee itself bends inward, and the kneecap appears to remain in a vertical line without moving inward or outward...(if it is moving, its hard to see).
KarenG
08-31-2007, 08:29 PM
maybe it wasn't the kneecap that moved, but the whole knee...sorry, but i can't really remember. might want to ask JayC about the test....
if you aren't moving towards the outside, then i would say the shoes are ok (assuming that the test is in fact anywhere near accurate) and maybe that you have just been doing a little bit too much. how many miles/wk are you riding? maybe you're increasing the distance too much each week...

Well, according to my math since I started with the road bike (before that it was the huffy but on the road, and about the same mileage each week for 4-6 weeks):
Week 1 - 94mi
Week 2 - 76mi
Week 3 - 110mi
Week 4 - 112mi
Week 5 - 108mi
Week 6 - 65mi (not over yet - but plan to take rest of week off)
I think maybe it's either bike setup or possibly doing too much too soon. I get a little excited and it seems easy to over-do myself without realizing it until days later.

I think it's under $70.00 but you might want to call him and make sure. Karen, Jon, Gerard, Erica and myself have all gone up there and been fitted and everyone has been happy. I was just up there today having him do a cleat fit on me.
Charlie has an eye for fitting. He can set your bike up just by looking at you and the bike and only make minor tweaks after that when youre actually on the bike. He also fits your cleats during the fitting which could be causing you issues as well.

In looking at your ride times that is a good bit of riding. It takes the body some time to build up the necessary infrastructure and some of the smaller muscles/tendons can have problems before the bigger muscles.
You may want to consider some cross training like running/walking or swimming. As Karen said, stretching is key as the muscles want to contract after exercise which can aggravate the problems.
It is better to be proactive rather than reactive as overuse injuries always lead to having to stop the exercise. I had a stress fracture from running last year and it was rough as I could not run or cycle for a few months.

Tommy, you're absolutely right. I have been taking it easy and also raised my seat by 2mm and that seems to have helped a lot. I just went for my endurance test at Meredith college this morning so I have those results to help me train, but I plan to keep taking it easy until I'm sure all the parts are up to the task! I plan to start a basic strength training program and also get back into playing some tennis soon.

I did the full endurance test package. If we get a group of 5 together (even though I already went) it's $40 off the normal $175 price. So let me know if you guys want to sign up as a group or at least mention my name (Brian Marks) when you go or sign up so we all get the discount.
I now know where to keep my HR to train near LT and also that my efficiency is not that good. My V02max is quite good but I am way into anaerobic when I am at that level, so I need to train so that I can use more of the air more efficiently at lower HR.
Great stuff, and awesome and knowledgeable people there. Very glad I went - I think I will really make significant gains now.

Getting testing done like that is key for training, IMHO.
I get mine done at Life Time Fitness, I just had my second test of the year and it was satisfying to be able to measure the improvement I've had. I like knowing what my training zones really are, instead of using some generic formula to approximate them. (Life Time uses the New Leaf system)
5/23/07:
AB = 136, AT = 164, VO2max = 49
9/4/07:
AB = 160, AT = 173, VO2max = 55.6
Everything moved up, and the AB increase was huge, a big move towards AT. Means I'm burning a lot more fat than I used to at higher heart rates, which increases endurance.

Thanks Brian
Let me try and explain - I think I understand this stuff well enough to use it for training, but maybe not well enough to explain it in a comprehensible fashion...
AB = Aerobic Base, the point at which you are burning the most calories from fat vs. sugar.
The absolute value of AB and AT are less important than their relationship to each other. (since max HR is generally determined a lot more by external factors like age, gender, genetics, etc)
In general our bodies are most efficient at lower heart rates, but for endurance training you want to raise your AB to as close to AT as possible. For the elite athlete (i.e. your Lance Armstrong types), AB = AT, meaning that they are highly efficient through the whole range.
I'd be happy to post / send my assessment info, if you are interested. I'd be intererested in seeing what the Meredith results look like, if you don't mind sharing those...

Okay, sorta makes sense. I had just never heard of AB before in those terms.
You can see a sample of the results from Meredith here: (they are not mine, just a sample of what they provide):
http://www.meredith.edu/hess/lab/endurance_testing.htm
My results are not bad, but as a beginner I have some improvements to make. I seem to have a good aerobic/genetic base to work from which is good. How far can I push my V02max before it peaks? Hopefully another 15-25% or so, but who knows. And I need to work on my effiiciency so that I'm much closer to V02max when I approach LT, rather than WAY above it.

Thanks for posting, Jon. Pretty interesting and similar to the result layout from HPL at Meredith. What does your place charge for the testing and how did it go?
Mine was a 10 minute warm up to calibrate the meter and get me warmed up and loose, then we started at 100W for 3 minutes, then they increase wattage by 40W every 3 minutes until you can't go any more. I died about 2/3 of the way through the 300W stage and could not go on any more. I think with rest between each interval it'd be possible to put down more power on each successively higher interval, but I'm no expert in testing methods.
My report also estimates resting metabolic rate (i.e. how many calories I burn by sitting around) and included a body fat % analysis and power analysis. The cool down graph shows a 2 minute and 5 minute recovery heart rate taken with the meter at 50W (they turned it down from 300W when I could not go on) along with the corresponding HR at those times.
Pugslyyy
09-11-2007, 08:00 PM
yeah, very similar. I think Life Time charges $79 or something like that - I'm not sure, I got two free tests when I signed up for a personal trainer package.
For their test, you have to maintain your cadence +/- 5, and they step more quickly - the test takes maybe 15 minutes to complete.
Most people elect to do the test on the treadmill, but I do it on a stationary bike. When I did the test on 5/23 I hit AT at 300W, I don't have that number from my latest test (not much of a power junkie, I pay more attention to HR)

09-11-2007, 08:08 PM
Wow, that's not bad at all. I wish my ramps would have been faster, maybe I'd have done better (LOL).

Not to speak out of place but, I've heard March on the delivery. I think I read this info on one of the other forums so, take it with the usual grain of salt.
Seems like an expensive unit though. I wish some other company, like Magellan would make a competitive unit targeted at the cycling community. Competition usually has a positive effect on prices - for the consumer.
Performance shows an in stock date of tomorrow and they actually had a farther out than that date a couple of weeks ago so maybe they know something we dont.

I just checked the GeoMan web site and it is showing the following "This product will be in stock on Thursday 28 February, 2008" which is close to the Performance date. I konw the thing will cost many $$$ but it is so sweet and having all the technology at your finger tips is cool. Will never get lost again especially on those centuries. We shall see
Well, the 705 date has slipped again. March 16th is the new shipping date.
REI.Com has 400 of the Edge 705s in stock. They only have the full bundle with maps, tho for $649.00. If you hunt around, there are working discount coupons tho.

That code is not valid for GPS devices.

Very and cool too. Can you please give us a review once you have used it for awhile. Thanks
I would love to know if the 705 would be useful as a travel GPS for use on business trips as well as a bike GPS. It would make it easier to justify. :D

If you wanted to hold it in your hand and can do without voice, its pretty much identical to a car GPS.

I found the 305 on this discount site for 179$. Is there anything major you guys needed from your point of purchase after buying? I would not expect much from these guys here beyond getting it to my door for el cheapo.

That place is generally considered to be a scam. I think you have to place a $500 minimum order.
