    Morning folks. I can’t find the USB-to-mini-USB cable for my Garmin Edge 200. They’re fairly cheap online, but can anyone tell me if the connection is proprietary or if I can buy any old thing? As ever with cycling kit, you can add a couple of quid for what appears to be the exact same item if you’re sufficiently gullible.

    The spare one I found is a branched connection, to both mini-usb and usb, and that didn’t work, so that prompted my question – I had previously assumed they were indeed just standard cables.

    Anyway, I nicked one off my colleagues desk – seems yesterday’s ride in the wind earned 34(!) achievements on Strava, so it was worth scavenging for the cable.

    Cheers all.
