Re: Vienna to Belgrade

Thanks for all the info again. I get to Vienna on the morning of the 28th (overnight train from Milan via Innsbruck, - as the direct train doesn't allow bikes) planning to go straight to Bratislava for a cheap beer or two.

Getting back tor Grenoble (where I am based) by train is going to be interesting...

Thanks for the info. Looks like I may have to take the fuel bottle, unlessI plan my overnights in cities such as noovisad or belgrade itself.

THe primus I have is the omnifuel by the way, sorry for not clarifyng that earlier.

Re: Best Cycle Lock for Travelling

A decent D-lock and a long cable to wrap around trees.

Thanks for the response. I assume I would charge up the cache battery during the day, then connect it to the sat-nav at night to charge that up when no on the move?

Vienna to Belgrade

After completing most of the loire section of ev6 last year, I have decided to do a bit more. After a nightmare of booking my bike through to Vienna (too lazy to pack it up) I think I'll be up and pedalling by the end of the month. I aim to camp most of the time so have a quick question about fuel.

I have a primus stove. Am I likely to find new canisters, should I carry spares across euroope with me, or should I take the liquid fuel bottle with me and top it up when necessary?

Thanks

Garmin edge 605 and B&M e-werk

Hi all.

I realise some of this has been covered already, but I can't find a comprehensive answer on this board (or elsewhere).

I have a Garmin Edge 605 and a B&M e-werk (with a shimano hub dynamo). I have tried to connect the e-werk directly to the garmin, but this results (when moving) in the GPS turning off and into charge mode.

Is there a way of getting it to be powered by the e-werk and still be used?

I see that on Peterwhitecycles, the edge 705 used to be able to be powered, but now can't be due to a firmware update.

Should I try to downgrade my firmware? How would I do this? Or do I need to fork out for the cache battery too?

Any help/advice appreciated.
