There are really cheap adapters you can buy from evilbay that just sit in the slot and convert it from micro-usb to usb-c... just fyi. Kind of a non-issue if you use those.

Not really the type of device you want an adapter just "sitting in the slot", considering that it would prevent you from closing the waterproof flap covering the connector.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank bsdc

one of, if not my favorite bike accessories. probably feels like a gimmick to anyone who hasn't used one before, but it's great peace of mind, especially if you keep a phone open on your rides (or a varia capable garmin device) so you can see the cars approaching visualized. that said, you shouldn't trust any tech 100%, and should always look over your shoulder before moving left/right.

also, while it has numerous mounting options, this is how I have mine mounted (with the screws punctured through my trunk/saddle bag)
I do wish it was USB-C, but I have a couple other bike accessories that are also, still, micro. It's whatever, I just have a couple micro cords where I park my bike in the garage, and I only have to charge this every couple hundred miles or so. only really a bother when I travel, but as long as it's charged before I leave, it's not really an issue, since it almost certainly won't die. did a century ride this past weekend out of town and it still had plenty of battery left, as expected. I tend to keep it on blinking mode, and keep a cheaper lower power draw rear red light on solid red when I ride.

strange, not the "harvest hundred", but it did have "harvest" in the name. I did the "Leelanau Harvest Tour", but the largest route they offered was 70 miles, so I added my own 30 miles to the end of it I used to ride with the potomac pedalers occasionally when I lived out that way. and no shade to you, 2500 feet of elevation over 40 miles is still rough. grats to us both!

Edge 540 solar is on sale right now. I have the 530 and it does everything I need it to do (although it is pretty poor at navigation if you go off course).

thanks, I'm torn between the 540 for 250 w radar at 150, = 400 vs 1050 + radar about 780 total.

my old eyes would prefer the larger screen. And the price diff is 'slick' but I can afford the 1050 w/o effort and kept by 810 for a decade, so I get my $ worth out of things.

Personally, I find the 1000 series of the Edge a bit too big for me (not great eyes either), but this is obviously a personal preference. If you are used to a cell phone on your handle bars for a "computer", then the 1040 or 1050 would be fine. You can always use less data fields on the 5** / 8** series computters as well to make the text bigger. With all that being said, there really isn't a bad choice.

thanks, have to spread rep b/4 repping u again, I've had cataract surgery so I'm up for biggest font. I've been run over by an f350 that 'didn't see me' on my motorcycle, so I want rear facing radar.
