  • I've ordered mine from Dabs. They were saying Feb 29, but every few days I've had an email from them with a 'change in lead time'. But, fingers crossed, their last date was March 14 and I haven't had a delay email yet. Then again, I haven't had a confirmation either...

    Weird, my latest update from dabs (arrived this morning) says 18th March -- today. Probably balls -- since February I've been getting one from them every few days changing the lead time to a few days away. But it's odd that a) this time they've moved it just a day forward and b) they've given me a different date to you.

  • Right, an email that arrived an hour ago says March 25th. Why on earth are they giving us all different dates?

    I just ordered one from handtec and they are saying mid-April.

    BTW anyone know what power meters are compatible with this little beauty?

    "Edge 705 works with third-party ANT+Sport-enabled power metres " (not necessarily all)
  • The blurb i read said it was compatible with SRM & Cycle ops

    wow I just looked up the cycle ops ones and they are EXPENSIVE!

    I had no idea. I think I may give up on power measuring then!
  • Cyle-Ops (Ergomo/Power Tap) are cheaper than SRM. the fact is that there's no 'cheap' power meter on the market. you could get a polar CS 600 with power meter but its not as accurate (as SRM/Ergomo), fiddly to set up and still costs £450

    Today's update ... 10th April ... do Garmin have any official view on when stock is to be released?

    Grrrr!!!!!

    I just phoned Rock n Road and it said it only had only seen the one that it special ordered for a customer. The bloke I spoke to (very helpful) unintentially rubbed it a bit by pointing out that it looked like a very nice bit of kit. :cry:

    The people I've got my pre order with counted down to 1 day before stock is availble, but now the status has gone back to pre order only.


    Where do you live, how many levers does the lock on your shed have?

    Hi,

    I managed to find one in stock in the end and will be cancelling my Dabs orders.

    Got it from http://www.heartratemonitor.co.uk/garmin_edge_705.html

    Ordered it on Monday and it arrived today. Cost around £40 more but I didn't want to wait any longer.

    p.s. Seems like an awsome bit of kit. Will be trying it out tomorrow :D
