Well looks like Harvey Norman has dropped the price of its Cyclo as well, to completely wreck the JB Hi Fi deal posted earlier.

$197, then add the $25 sign up voucher, and you have a massive bargain.

    This is bloody cheap! Wished I waited a day, I got this for $200 yesterday V_V

    • iSamurai on 09/09/2015 - 18:33

      buy this one, return with the previous receipt…

  • dbglt on 08/09/2015 - 18:29

    Great deal ! Almost pulled the trigger yesterday, not sure what held me back… But yay.

  • ticket65 on 08/09/2015 - 18:39

    I pulled the trigger on the JB deal. I wasn't a considered purchase and I've since found out that the maps cannot be changed. I was going to cycle in the UK and France so I wouldn't be able to use this model and will have to go for the Garmin. Great value if you are just planning on riding in Australia though.

    • lyl on 08/09/2015 - 18:46

      Have you tried getting a refund?

      • ticket65 on 08/09/2015 - 19:01

        Thanks lyl

        Just went online and cancelled my order. Received an email from JB confirming the cancellation. Good on 'em.

        Now let's see if I can find some deals on the Garmin 520 or 810…..

        • MissMurd3r on 08/09/2015 - 19:07

          How did you contact them to cancel it? I used the Contact Us option on the JB site about 30 mins or so ago and did not hear anything yet. Hoping they can cancel it so I can get this deal on here.

        • ticket65 on 08/09/2015 - 23:47

          @MissMurd3r: It was on the email receipt. One of the options was to cancel the order. Select this and put in a reason. When I ordered online they reckoned they had stock, but when I phone to pick it up they told me they didn't. I just put this as the reason for me cancelling. Confirmation of my cancellation came back within 15 mins. Good luck.

        • MissMurd3r on 09/09/2015 - 07:10

          @ticket65: I am sadly still waiting to hear if my order can be cancelled or not.

    • shonofear on 09/09/2015 - 13:18

      can anyone confirm if this is true? that it only accepts Australia maps? what about New Zealand?
      would be nice to take overseas

  • MissMurd3r on 08/09/2015 - 18:59

    Wonder how long this deal will last for.. too scared to pull the trigger in case JB refuse to cancel my order with them. It claims I can cancel as long as it is before 9 AM the next day, however I am sceptical.

  • Dany Boy 99 on 08/09/2015 - 21:12

    Anyone know how long it takes to get the Harvey Norman $25 voucher?

  • Dany Boy 99 on 08/09/2015 - 21:13

    All good…. Just got it. The impulsive impatience of the Ozbargainer strikes again!~

  • liquid metal on 08/09/2015 - 22:13

    Fvck me, I paid more than double a year ago. And today I still would pay $360 if there wouldn't be a deal, cause it is such a good device.

  • 2ndeffort on 08/09/2015 - 22:44

    Is it easy to sync with Strava? I have a Garmin 500 that I use for my normal group riding and MAMIL adventures but it would be nice to have something with Maps for commuting. This would be way cheaper than a Garmin 810

      It easily syncs with Strava using wifi so no need to plug usb cable into your pc.

      • 2ndeffort on 09/09/2015 - 00:24

        Thanks, bought one for the bikepath cruiser!!! Thanks OP. looks like a great deal!

      "mamil adventures". lol. seriously though, good on you for getting out there on a bike :)

      I just find the garmin sync with the iphone a bit of a hit and miss. quite often it'll say sync failed and you need to disconnect bluetooth or forget device, re-pair before getting them to sync.

  • eddomak on 08/09/2015 - 23:18

    Excellent price! Thanks OP

    Thanks OP! Great price!

  • iSamurai on 09/09/2015 - 20:40

    so i just looked at some specs and reviews

    pros
    - big screen
    - wifi upload
    - openstreetmap

    cons
    - mount is slightly fiddly
    - dated UI
    - very big (vs garmin edge 510/520/810)
    - no glonass

    Not sure if I want to impulse purchase. looks nice though. I have a garmin edge 510 that I could probably sell and get this cost neutral.

    Tricky Dicky has the Magellan Cyclo 500 for $148, if you can add a battery or something to get the price over $149, use the code 'foryou30' to get another $30 off

    http://www.dicksmith.com.au/health-fitness/magellan-cyclo-50…

    looks like the 505 has Bluetooth and Ant+ for HR monitor, cadence etc but the 500 doesn't.

    • eddomak on 10/09/2015 - 10:29
      +2

      The only difference is that the 500 can only pair with Smart Bluetooth sensors, whereas the 505 can do both Smart BT as well as ANT+.

      ANT+ was the previous standard, so if you have a lot of ANT+ stuff already then the 505 means you don't need to replace it. A lot of new sensors are Smart BT only, some sensors transmit on both, and some only ANT+. I think the advantage of using BT is that you can also pair the sensor directly to your smartphone and use an app if you want to - I don't know of any smartphones that can pair with ANT+.

    • dbglt on 10/09/2015 - 20:55

      Does purchasing from DSE entitle you to get the free HR monitor by redemption?

      EDIT: I think I answered my own question - listed on their website as a retailer to buy from, so I assume so: http://www.magellangps.com.au/Buy_Cyclo

      • MissMurd3r on 11/09/2015 - 09:34

        I cannot even see a mention of the HR Monitor on the 500 deal at DS? :\

          The bonus HRM applies to any 500 or 505 cyclo model sold regardless of where you purchase from.

        • MissMurd3r on 11/09/2015 - 10:48

          @first in line:
          Cool. I had wrongly assumed that it was only associated with the deals that show on them that it is included.

        • dbglt on 11/09/2015 - 11:13
          +2

          It is not listed, but if you look on magellan's website they have the promo: http://www.magellangps.com.au/cyclohrmpromo.

          It is "participating" sellers - but it doesn't list which those are. I called Magellan today and confirmed that Dick Smith was covered. Any one of the companies listed on my link above are.

          So, free HRM! Going to return the one I got at HN for $172 - this is an absolute steal at $119 !

    • shonofear on 15/09/2015 - 06:25

      thanks, the $30- off coupon is back. the price seem to jump all around when trying to checkout, anyways threw in some phillips headphone for $8- and got them both for $125-
      was't really in the market for one of these but at that price why not.
      EDIT. it seems its back up to $189- must of got in just before the price hike

  • scottb721 on 10/09/2015 - 18:12

    Anyone had trouble pairing this with their Android phone ?

    My Samsung Galaxy Zoom is v4.4.2 and BT v4 but the CycloSmart app continually says it cannot detect my Cyclo device.

    Anyone got their heart rate monitors yet?

    • MissMurd3r on 17/09/2015 - 12:30

      No. But I suspect they may take a while. Seems to be the way with things you claim via redemption.

  • 2ndeffort on 15/09/2015 - 21:23

    Got the unit, not the HR monitor

  • jvdv001 on 15/09/2015 - 21:34

    Just tried the HN deal - opened an account and got the $25 Voucher but the voucher didn't work. Had an online chat to the sales staff who said the $25 voucher can't be used when an item is on special or if there is a "bonus" offered. So the price stays at $197.00. Still a fair price given you (eventually) get the HRM but disappointed that you can't use the $25.00 voucher.

    • 2ndeffort on 15/09/2015 - 22:16

      Are you sure you made a new HN account? The code will only work if you do so.

      • jvdv001 on 16/09/2015 - 11:57

        Yes, made a new HN account and received confirmation with the $25 voucher. Tried again this morning but it doesn't accept the code. Tried entering it manually and copy & pasting but no good. Have sent a msg to HN asking for an explanation.

        • bobkin on 16/09/2015 - 23:14

    Just a heads up, 99cycles has the cyclo 505 with heart rate, speed and cadence for $219- using the code 20off200
    Then 8% off with cashrewards makes it $201.
    Gonna get a refund on the cyclo 500.

    • OyVey on 24/09/2015 - 23:55

      This is the real bargain IMO, and I scrambled to put in my order for the 99bikes deal 5 minutes ago…here's why…if you buy the Harvey Norman 505 naked (without the accessory pack), and redeem the bluetooth HRM for free from Magellan, that's $172. The price increase for shonofear's deal is $47- and for that, you get the Magellan speed/cadence sensor, plus a Magellan HRM packed in the box…and they're both ANT+ protocol.

      An eBay price limited search reveals that $47 won't get you more than a bluetooth only, non-branded speed/cadence sensor (lowest $26 incl post). It certainly won't get you an ANT+ sensor. Or one that is guaranteed to work with the 505HC. For a recent model ANT+ sensor, it's $65, +/-$5. On that basis, 99bikes beats the Harvey Norman deal.

      Also, I don't think one can even write off the value of the in-box HRM - according to the T/Cs on Magellan's website, the bonus bluetooth HRM is open to all 505 unit buyers - "…the Qualifying Device purchased by the Claimant is a Magellan Cyclo 500 or Magellan Cyclo 505" - which should mean that 505HC guys are eligible.

      I feel like they might try to slide out of this one (I don't trust companies to honour stuff when the customer gets incredible value) - but a reasonable person would see this as including 505HC pack buyers in the redemption thingo. Will report back on this once I've received my 505HC.

      • first in line on 25/09/2015 - 00:22

        yeah, 99bikes has the best deal. I pulled the trigger to early and got it from JB but I'm still happy with it.

      • shonofear on 25/09/2015 - 05:50

        Received mine yesterday. I agree it's probably the best value deal especially if eligible for the HR redemption (I forgot to consider that) as having a Bluetooth HR would come in handy for connecting to other devices i.e phone if maybe running. But if you own the Galaxy s5 it apparently has inbuilt Ant+ which would be handy.
        The other option I still have is to keep the 500 ($120),redeem HR, buy the Wahoo blue SC $70- so then have more uses using the Bluetooth sensors totalling $190-

      • bobkin on 02/10/2015 - 08:50

    Feedback after using it for about two weeks:

    Positives:
    Capacitive touch screen (rather than buttons or resistive touch screen)
    Large screen
    Maps and directions
    Large text
    Simple interface
    Trouble free wifi sync
    Accurate elevation

    Negatives:
    Interface resembling dated iOS 6 look
    Very, very bulky
    Map does not have a scale bar
    Takes a long time to boot up (and has two mamil cyclists as the loading screen)
    Too many confirmation dialogues - asks whether you really want to record, stop or turn off
    Actual use battery life shorter compared to Garmin
    Cannot pause ride for more than approximately an hour
    Flimsy on stem mount (over bar mount is fine)
    No lap function (either that or I still haven't found it yet)

    Overall, it's average, but for the price I could deal with the shortfalls. I do like the larger screen compared to the Garmin 520 and has most of the features in Garmins costing 2-3x as much.

    • first in line on 15/10/2015 - 22:54

      The map is a bitch to use, especially if you want to zoom in to look for streets and browse around.

  • MissMurd3r on 20/10/2015 - 17:12

    So I was sent an entire new HRM due to the one they had sent me having a bit broken on the battery cover. Pretty pleased with that. Was only expecting a replacement part.
