Yeah the screen, mapping, and routing functionality is really good. Definitely a step up from my Garmin in that regard, it gives super clear prompts and you'd have to be pretty dopey to miss any turnings. The colours are nice and clear and the map is detailed without being too cluttered.

Longer than 9 days to be fair.
Main reason is that every other bit of health, fitness kit i own is Garmin and they all mesh nicely together. I've been using Garmin for nearly 2 decades so I'm very familiar with them and there's so much ingrained muscle memory.
The Hammerhead was definitely better in many areas, particularly the mapping (have added pics to my sales post) and as @PhilDAS say's it's very slick and feels more contemporary. The only thing that i found annoying were the audio prompts (which can be turned off). The battery is also not as strong as Garmin and as I'm quite keen on some long rides it may have caused issues down the line, I'd say the battery would be fine for rides under 150 miles.

Cross post to the classifieds but I'm selling a Hammerhead Karoo 3
Great bike computer with the best routing and mapping I've experienced on a bike computer but I've decided to stay in the Garmin ecosystem.
-
Selling a barely used Hammerhead Karoo 3.
Ive had it for a couple of weeks but I'm too burried in the Garmin ecosystem (watch, scales, previous bike computers) to make the switch permanently.
I've really enjoyed the Hammerhead, the routing and mapping is probably the best of any bike computer I've used. The screen is great and I liked the mix of touch screen and button interface. The only downside I found was the alert volume is a little loud, other than that it's an excellent device.
Plenty of good reviews from all the usual sites.
Comes with a 1/4 turn adapter so it's compatible with all Garmin mounts etc.
Looking at sales on Ebay and Facebook they seem to go for around £260-300 so I'm looking for £240 collected from Walton on Thames or postage at cost.

If you know anyone currently at University they can buy it from House of Fraser rather than Evans with the year round student discount to get another 10% off taking it to £1750 ish.
Or use top cashback and settle for the extra 5% off.

Booked it through the website about 2 months before we went. We stayed up in the Lakes and then drove over for lunch. I did look at the dinner bed and breakfast package but they were all sold out.
It was expensive but worth it, it genuinely was exceptional. There were 16 chefs in the kitchen when we went and a similar number in the front of house team, the attention to detail across the board was outstanding. We have a policy of hardly eating out but going big when we do, I would much rather 1 or 2 incredible meals a year than lots of average £100 meals at over priced pubs.
-
Most decent clearance items are excluded from that EXTRA20 deal sadly so pretty sure it wouldn't have been in there, much like the SL7s they're clearing out.
-
Pretty sure it sold, there were some Roval wheels at 60% off which were up for a week then disappeared / sold. I'm now keeping an eye on the Evans clearance section.
-
Where are they on offer from?
-
Yeah gets quite a good review, I have absolutely no need for it otherwise I'd have probably taken a punt on it.
-
Yeah that's what I thought. So a really limited second hand market for new batteries and hub motor wheels. I had initially hoped I could quite easily sell them and essentially get a P Line for a decent price but quickly figured I'd just be left with loads of bits no-one wanted and no cost saving.
-
Half Price Electric P Line in nice Emerald Green Lacquer.
I've always wanted the p line in that colour but have no need for the electric assist. Is there a market for people wanting front motor wheels and batteries? Tempted to take them off and sell them and stick a regular Brompton front wheel in...
-
Had a meal at L'Enclume today, obviously it was incredible. Definitely the best place I've eaten, just so so good. It's hardly an off the wall suggestion but if you've got a special occasion I can thoroughly recommend it.
-
The problem is I now I need to convince her that a rotor upgrade is worthwhile... If we could cut a deal for them posted then I reckon I could get her over the line.
-
If @hippy wanted one set of just 160mm I might be interested in the spare 140mm as a set for my wife as she's tiny and runs small front and rear.
-
Cool I'll drop you a message when it's available and I've figured out a price that's fair etc.
-
Pretty nice Singular Ti frameset for the taller folk out there

I will probably be selling my Garmin 830 in a few weeks if there's any interest? There are no issues with it and it's in good (used) condition but I have made the switch to Hammerhead (gulp) and it'll be superfluous.
-
I'm fortunate to have met quite a few cyclists and sports people through my line of work and Chris is by far and away the nicest bloke I've come across. It's really sad news for his family and friends.
-
I haven't used GP5000 all seasons so I can only compare to the regular version. The Mondo's are definitely slower. I've not yet tried them on a 'fast' ride to see how they stack up but they haven't felt sluggish on my commutes / long rides.
When I bought the Mondo's they were about £20 a tyre cheaper than the GP 5000 AS ones so that clinched it, if price wasn't an issue I would have gone GP As.
