I started using Magene speed and cadence sensors around 10 years ago. Now I use their radar rear light which works really well. If I didn't already love my (expensive!) Wahoo Roam, I would certainly consider this computer instead! Didn't know that they made trainers too!

Awesome & Thanks Sir :)

Chinese junk !!! when u buy cheap Chinese junk u always pay the double... because soon it will break and u need to buy another one !!! never try save money on cycling...if u can not afford riding buy a pair of sneakers and start running... it's my much cheaper.

Great video but how did you miss the most important aspect of his race...the choky milk!!! 😂😂😂

Nice.. i guess the key is enough ele gain in the shortest distance, but not so steep as to blow ur self up. What was ur uphill distance and ele gain each lap? Well done, congrats.

So does this device have a "Climbpro" type feature? That is a great tool on Garmins which I don't see on Magene's site and you didn't mention it

Timely.. have been looking to get a computer- currently rely on iOS apps and fenix 3 watch. Was leaning 840 solar, but a buck-fifty-nine speaks loudly. Great channel

Thanks for the review. It looks like a good value. I'd buy it if they added RideWithGPS support. I realize Strava is more popular but I like RideWithGPS more. Their website and your video only mention Strava & TrainingPeaks.

Garmin has dropped far behind the curve. They feel like Nokia at the advent of real smartphones. The iGS800 is lightyears ahead of any Garmin device. it can be operated by touchscreen and buttons, examplary integration with the app, battery life is through the roof (real life 40++h w/o navigation) and the gui is fast (no lagging when turning), compatible to 3 satellite networks for acurate positioning and also battery optimised usage of these, large bright screen with auto brightness, graphs and dials for power, heartrate, elevation and speed available on the page layout (mix and match as you please), boots up in 5s from power off, iclimb, easy track import, great maps, display of battery life of connected sensors, ride summary on the device, you can keep track of maintenance intervalls of your bikes, ... this is what cycling computers could have been like for years now.

I don’t have their bike computer, but I do have their L508 radar tail light, and the P505 base power meter with PES crank (i.e. Shimano compatible). I am very pleased with both. The tail light is great. But the power meter is pretty much the cheapest way to get a decent power meter, nearly half the cost of anything else, so I’m well pleased with that one. Probably the nearest price competitor would be the Assioma single sided power meter pedals, especially on the Shimano side, where if you don’t want to run pedal-based power meters, you’ve got the option of 4iiii or Shimano, at multiples of the price the Magene offers (plus the Shimano is notoriously inaccurate). I use these with a Wahoo ELEMNT Roam v2, via Ant+, never an issue. The power meter also pairs via bluetooth to my Apple Watch.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Alan! Do you know if it can be trickle charged? That is an ideal feature for ultraendurance cyclists, like me, who often run a dynamo hub to keep things charged up.

I think igpsports 630 is better for the same price

I've been using their radar taillight for a while now, and have been VERY happy with it. It's a lot cheaper than the Garmin radar, and works just as well - at least when riding side-by-side with someone who has the Garmin.

Good man, nice to get an honest review Alan. I was hooked until the offroad navi.

Max 2088 W power?? Wow!!

Great review and what a price. Thanks for the video and take care, Al

Oohhh I already have there cadence sensor this is my price point.

Thanks for this review. I love the idea of this GPS unit, but it sounds incomplete. I really hope that they'll make solar versions of the 20/30 series. My eTrex 30 (there's no X) just died after 12 years and I really want something like this with the features I've grown to love. Fingers crossed.

The Confluence is a real winner. After 2 months of riding I'm totally happy with it, especially at its reasonable price point. I wanted an ebike that pretty much matched the geometry and fit of my Trek FX 6 hybrid and with the addition of a 100mm stem I've gotten the fit I want. Big surprise, the range is much longer than the advertised 45 miles. I just did a 35-mile ride today generously using the 2nd and even 3rd assist level on the hills. I finished with 57% of my power left. The phone app shows me the exact charge level, so no guessing with simple bar indicators. To be sure, the Mahle 35+ is not super powerful. If you want to blast up hills get a mid-drive Bosch or Fazua, but a moderate assist is what I was looking for. It's just enough that my 73-year-old legs can keep going on a 10% grade without running out of gas. Negatives: It's challenging to plug in the charging cord. The fit has to be exact. A simpler plug would be handy. The stock tires aren't tubeless compatible. I had to upgrade to Bontrager Gironas to get tubeless to work.

Hell of a recap sir. 🫡

Excellent, what is your bar end plug brand, KustomCaps?

wahoo speed and strava speed differs. AFAIU, strava calculates it by itself based on gpx data, so it is slightly different if u use speed sensor

Good day, im noly from philippines. How can i order why big iron frame only coz theres no available in our local bikeshop here in philippnes. Hope you can help me.. thank you and god bless

Praying for you brother! Go gettem!! 🙏🤙🏼🤜🚵🏻‍♂️🚵🏻‍♂️

Ty for shearing. I don't have any dry bag's. I'm looking into be in a e-bike camper bikepacking. I see a lot of 20-35$ options on amazon and Temu for 12-15 L handlebar bag setups. Any thoughts ?

Super human effort. I know what broken ribs feel like. Can't believe you got as far as you did. Very impressive!!

For altitude sickness you can try garlic dried chips they worked for me, and I hear a lot of the Sherpa’s use this method too.

Dot watching your CT ride it looked you finished strong. Congrats. I enjoy your content and detailed analysis. Looking forward to your summary.

HUB WEIGHT IS NOT A BIG DEAL. TAKE THE WEIGHT OFF THE RIM LIKE I DID WITH STANS CREST CARBON RIMS AND A LIGHT TIRE.

IAM 6FT 199 POUNDS AND RIDE A SINGLE SPEED RIGID AND PUSH A BIG GEAR 48X20 SO I WENT WITH THE CLASSIC 30 PERCENT MORE SPRAGS. THOSE R 1/2 POUND LIGHTER AS A SET. I HAD MINE 3 YEARS NOT ONE PROBLEM

An issue i had with storing my powder in ziplocs - it seemed to clump up in the bag. Almost as if there was condensation going from inside the house to the hot humid texas heat. Anyone else have this issue?

Can you explain why you would go with the 50 vs the 47? Going from 44 to 50 seems like alot!

I know 2 of the Colorado Trail riders this year. David Landis is my son-in-law and Abe Kauffman is a first rate mountain bike racer from my home town. Both found the riding at elevation to be extremely challenging. Abe Kauffman finished but was far out of the running, even though he had earlier done the Tour Divide in 16 days. Both said it was much more demanding than the Tour Divide. How'd it go for you?

Dude how long did it take to compile all this info. Amazing.

I am using the Wolf Tooth WT-1 Chain Lube since Jul 3, 2023. it is a awesome Bicycle Chain Lube

What’s the worst case scenario if your FTP is overestimated? You will end up suffering through the next training sessions. That’s all! If you manage to hold up, you will come out the other side stronger. And it’s not like your FTP is overestimated by a significant amount; just a couple of watts if you do it standing. Too much obsession in the community man.

I subscribed a while ago because I’ve learned a lot from you about gear and training. But this just pure enjoyment and the “why” to go with the “how” I’ve always appreciated. Thanks for all of it.

Following your dot! Always enjoy your content, hopefully see your dot to the finish line!

Thanks for the video. I'm coming over to gravel from MTB and am enjoying my new ride. Redshift has been on my radar as a source for solid upgrades to my stock cockpit. Your rundown was great.

dont over train....

Did you know. By adjusting settings in the Fishing section, one can enjoy better overall look and style in the overall map usage.

Yeah, you'll be fastest by having fun instead of pushing yourself hard. Pushing hard is for people really trained at the highest level of performance. If you're fit and in decent shape, but not Pro caliber, you'll do best by mixing in plenty of rest. And the best way to do that is to slow down enough to have fun. You'll still be pretty wrecked by the end but will have had a much better time and won't need a trip to the hospital. Mixing in stopping to take some pictures, talk to people, even soaking your feet in the creek is perfect. It'll also give you time to eat more, which you'll totally need. I'm so excited to see how you do!

Does time of departure matter? Meaning, is the weather ---generally---more forgiving with an August start vs. June start in Banff?

Three tips on fueling: If you don't like gooey gels, just squeeze them into a water bottle and shake. Dilutes them great. For massive energy for cheap, use table sugar. Can pack a ton of it double-bagged in ziplocs and just add water. Or add to whatever flavor of gatorade you want. Can find it at most gas stations or grocery stores in 5 lb. bags. For electrolytes, 1/4 teaspoon of sodium citrate per liter of water. You can buy it online and one bag of it would last you 10 months. All the sodium and none of the sick feeling of eating table salt.

I can't believe you attempted such an adventure after all those crafty donuts on Horizon! Gracious! The full time gigs I did (IATSE Electrician here) kept me lazy for months! Kudos to you for that brave attempt and best of luck moving forward!! As always, another great vid!

Your video put me over top to picking up the Confluence Altus Flat Bar model. Totally stoked!!

Great video, wealth of information.

Have a great ride. Love your content. I've just put out drinks and snacks for everyone on the CTR just before Hwy 9, or in your case just after Hwy 9. I'll be restocking it daily. Two blue chilly bins and a floor bike pump.

Do it Jaco…enjoy your journey ❤️🙏🚴⛰️🐎

Good luck Sir!
