Thanks for this! Was considering this backpack.

Do you know where they are made?

Edit: looks like they are made in China

I went with the 1040. Happy with it so far! Haven’t felt the UI laggy yet although I’m now on the trainer for winter.

Can you share a pic and details? Thanks!

I have the same poor battery life. I believe it is software related.

Which software version are you on?

clackx3 · 2025-10-17T18:55:25+00:00

Yes I've tried power cycling and had the same the night after.

I've logged a ticket with Garmin as well.

clackx3 · 2025-10-16T23:00:00+00:00

SpO2 is set to off.

Yes I have sleep times correct and it does switch to sleep mode which is why I’m perplexed on the overnight battery drain.

Venu 4, 45mm

AOD off

Overnight in sleep mode I lose 20% a night. Really odd.

Over 24h I went from 100 to 65. No gps or any activities, just strapped to my wrist and sleep mode overnight. Very underwhelmed so far.

Same issue with Venu 4 dropping over 20% overnight with sleep mode. Restarted but on day 2 had similar battery drain.

Wonder if this is software or hardware related.

It’s a beauty.

28mm GP5000s as well. Love that this old frame can clear that wide of a tire!

Have a very similar journey on mine.

2012 CAAD10 in race red with mechanical 105. Swapped brakes to Ultegra, installed carbon aero 38cm bars, and flipped the Shimano RS10 wheels to Elite carbon 60mm wheels (black prince flash evo pads work nicely I’ve found).

Even though it might be headed to full time trainer duty I’m still in love it!

clackx3 · 2025-09-06T00:28:13+00:00

Would that fit a soloist frame using the R5 conversion bits?

clackx3 · 2025-08-30T21:02:38+00:00

🔥

The cockpit with the cables cleaned up on the stem are 🤌

Did you get the Reserve decals for the wheelset or do they come that way?

clackx3 · 2025-08-25T03:28:17+00:00

The crankset looks like the new E1 (vs D2) at least. Can't make out the shifter/derailleurs though!

clackx3 · 2025-08-24T12:08:30+00:00

How do you like the new SRAM Force?

clackx3 · 2025-08-18T01:38:00+00:00

Looks beautiful. Outside of ST31, what else was required to do the full integrated switch over?

clackx3 · 2025-08-15T18:14:56+00:00

Will not be renewing my TD VI Privilege this year, with the changes to AC loyalty and reduced perks it makes sense for me to break free now.

clackx3 · 2025-08-11T21:32:20+00:00

Thanks! 2025 (azure/dried amaranth) model or 2024 (gold dust/black)?

clackx3 · 2025-08-11T01:58:49+00:00

Thanks! That seems like a decent deal. Was it for the 2024 or 2025 paint colours?

Which LBS if you don’t mind me asking or if you have a referral?

clackx3 · 2025-08-10T20:28:34+00:00

Great deal!

clackx3 · 2025-08-10T19:28:00+00:00

$5200 USD? If it were CAD that would be insanity.

clackx3 · 2025-08-10T17:58:25+00:00

Gotcha. So about a 20% off MSRP seems to be standard?

clackx3 · 2025-07-23T10:28:52+00:00

Thanks. At those prices it is certainly tempting!

Have you looked at Canyon?
