Need one

Happy to go second hand

Needs to be able to work wirelessly and not break - being über fast isn't a massively important but I don't want to be sitting at it for hours just to download a file.

Need it for garmin stuff now ( my i pad doesn't do it)

Anyone got an old ish one floating about ?

Talk to me people...

What about a Mac desktop? You can pick some of them up relatively cheaply on a well know auction site

It's about space really mate. Fold up and away on a shelf is what I'm after.

First you’ll need the Wahoo Fitness dongle, which works with just about all the iDevices. That’s the little white thing hanging off the bottom of my phone. It simply plugs into the dock connector like a power cord.

Then you’ll go into the pairing menu (seen above) to get the watch paired. This only takes a second and doesn’t affect your computer’s pre-established paired relationship with your FR910XT.

Once that’s done, it’ll list out the available workouts for you to download from the watch. You need only tap to select which workout(s) you want and then click download.

It’ll download the workout to the phone, by grabbing the .FIT files. Once it’s done that, it’ll allow you to upload to pretty much all of the major services from Garmin Connect to Training Peaks to Nike+ to MapMyFitness and more.

sorry Ben... I don;t often look in here.

You still need a laptop?

what's the best price you've had so far?

I know a man that deals in 2nd hand/recyled ex-office IT equipment. I can probably get you something up and running for no more than a ton, though you might have to buy a usb wireless dongle (or I can do that for you if you prefer :-)

Cheers Didds

Yep I'm still after one but a sudden cash flow issue has forced me to wait another
Month.

I'd be interested in what your contact could get me for £150 though / wireless with a dongle would be hugely preferable ( don't actually know how these dongle things work)

A gunshot wound - I can manage that

Had a tonic clonic seizure - easy

Tests a traumatic arrest - piece of piss

Deal with people under trains, stabbed, abdo assessments - walk in the park

Talk about computers - absolutely clueless

:lol:
