Getting old sucks, might as well have a nice bike
Unlike the rest of us, apparently someone at Wahoo wants to hold onto 2020. But, maybe I’m reading it wrong, and they really want a do-over, but with better translations and stability improvements; which TBH doesn’t sound like a bad idea. All kidding aside, if you have an ELEMNT bike computer, go ahead and update it. They all should have one :). …
Just because the new Wahoo RIVAL is for triathletes, doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to do triathlon, to use one (bullet dodged AMIRIGHT!). But! Most of the value for this thing is really focused on those who enjoy getting wet when they’re not riding the bike. While I’m very much not in that demographic, I love it that Wahoo has entered this market. Although, there are some teething issues, issues with…
If you have any sort of Wahoo ELEMNT cycling computer and Shimano Di2, best get your update on. With that out of the way, kind of need to ask how this sort of thing gets through testing in the first place. My guess: Wahoo doesn’t have the best unit testing story. Fortunately, updates are super easy on the ELEMNT family, so go ahead and get it done.…
You will need to get about four minutes into the video (embedded in the post linked below), to get to the place where Ray weighs Wahoo’s new Tickr & Tickr X (oddly enough, I couldn’t find any actual weight photos in the epic write-up though). And the spoiler is that Ray DESTROYS Wahoo’s marketing claims around the new heart rate strap’s weight and width. As he notes, it’s such a stupid thing…
If you’re playing the Wandrer.earth game, have a Wahoo head unit, and have been envious of the love that Garmin gets. Happy day! You now get unridden road maps too. Hey folks, several of you have requested the ability to do custom maps of your unridden roads on your Wahoo ELEMNT / ELEMNT Bolt. This is now available on the Wandrer site. The styling options are limited compared to the Garmin but…
Having ridden the Wahoo Kickr Bike briefly, I can say that with great assurance that I will never buy one. The main reason is that I already have a Kickr, and a bike to put on it. So when I consider what else I could do with that $3500… If I didn’t have that setup, the answer would still be “no” for two reasons. It’s a hunk of metal with no compliance…
If you’ve been eyeing the ELEMNT BOLT family of bike computers from Wahoo, and the killer feature that blocked the “Buy Now” click was the color options… There’s now another one “Stealth Black”, which is black, and stealthy? More importantly, the price also dropped to $230. Which might actually make it easier to make the purchase :). Also out today is a firmware update for the whole ELEMNT family, although just documented…
There were a few things that warranted specific coverage, and I’ll get to those later. Here’s a quick playlist with some short thoughts on quite a few products that I saw at the 2020 CABDA.…
I haven’t played with ANGi, but it seems like a solid concept with clunky execution. Which, apparently, has improved slightly this morning. DCR has the skinny. Wahoo and Specialized have announced a new integration that lets Wahoo users automatically start and stop the Specialized ANGi helmet live tracking and crash detection features, directly from their Wahoo ELEMNT/BOLT/ROAM computers. This integration (as you’ll see), seems more of a first step of how the…
When Wahoo said “by end of year” when asked about support for ANT+ Radar (Varia), I assumed that meant the firmware would drop on December 31st (or thereabouts). But, fortunately for Wahoo users who want the added safety and assurance that a radar device provides, they can actually use the feature today. No official firmware notes have been released, so it’s not clear what else was added (light control doesn’t appear to…
