7 Things You Didn't Know Your Wahoo Bike Computer Could Do

День тому

A bike computer can be a cyclist’s best friend. It allows you to keep track of your power numbers, speed, cadence and almost every other kind of data you can think of while on your rides. However, lots of people don’t make the most out of their bike computers, so if you use a Wahoo head unit on your rides, this is a video for you!

What data do you have on screen for your rides?

@stevedouglas3975 Рік тому

Time of day, speed, HR, cadence, grade, Di2 gear selection on main page. On other pages elevation, feet climbed, temperature, route etc. I also have Bolt. Shame mapping is so useless on it though. Having Whatsapp and text notifications etc is really useful.

@DoNuT_1985 Рік тому

If actually have more screens than I need: One main screen with speed, 3s power, cadence, duration, heart rate, temperaure and gradient, next is some kind of summary page with avg. speed/power, total ascent, distance. Then, another one with more overall information like time, battery level etc - and then the more specific pages like a "climbing screen" with climb profile, current gradient/cadence and two more with the map and turn instructions. I'm on the main screen most of the time but there are specific situations where I use the others, indeed. Well, it's a 2016 Garmin, though....

I’ve had my wahoo for about 3 years & it’s by far the best cycling related purchase yet. Also in certain conditions it’s much better with the proper buttons rather than a touch screen & the battery is brill as in after a 100 miles ride it still had 38% left 😮

@snoopy1alpha Рік тому

On my Wahoo (Bolt v2), there are LEDs at the top. They can be used for various things. When following a route, they indicate the next turn by flashing in the corresponding direction. In "normal mode" I configured them to indicate my current speed in comparison to the average speed. If the LEDs to the right are on (blue), I am above my average speed. If the LEDs to the left are on (I think it's green), I am below average speed. If only the center is on, I am around my average speed. You can also do the same for RPM and I think even for power output. This is a very neat feature.

@darkarchon78 3 дні тому

I loved this feature in the good old Cateye's wired computers. I'm glad they tought something similar.

@ryanmussett1016 Рік тому

My favourite thing about my Wahoo is that it connects directly with TrainerRoad and automatically pulls my workout for the day giving me the option to stick to the same training plan and ride regardless if indoors or outdoors. My intervals are always there and ready to go when I start my ride in the morning! Super handy! My training screen would usually have W3s, W20s, Target Power, Cadence, Interval Timer.

@DaveCM Рік тому

The live share can actually show more. I am a disabled veteran and so have medical problems. With the tracking turned on, my wife can see where I'm at, my speed, and heart rate.

Can't finish any segment when there's trees around.. Which tend to be on mountains. My old Garmin 520 handled this much better by just being inaccurate for a bit and then recalculating when reception is back.

Big question on Bolt V2. I can have just 4 data pages showing at a good size. One large at top plus 2 across next row but smaller, plus a single field on bottom, also smaller. But has a blank area next to it! If i 'page out' to make fields smaller I get just one large field on top plus 6 small ones below, 2 per row. SO why cannot i get FIVE fields...one large on top then two rows of 2??? Instead of the 4 that has a blank area on bottom row? Really frustrating as paging out to get 7 means that six are a tad small to read for me. FIVE fileds would be ideal if that final one was filled in. Hope you understand.

@paulallen6378 Рік тому

@stefanwagener Рік тому

Tip for pages: if you have more than one bike, create pages for each of those bikes, e.g. only one bike has a powermeter, no need to show it when on the other bike. Tip for switching pages with DI2: program button on top of the levers for switching pages on Wahoo (to be programed in Shimano's app E-Tube). So for switching pages you don't need to take your hands off the hooks. Showing DI2 battery status seems to be only with latest generation? At least I complained to Wahoo 2 years ago that DI2 battery is not shown ... and still isn't for R80xx series. So maybe only for R81xx?

Not a fan of the Di2 battery level coverage. What GCN somehow failed to mention of this much-requested and missing feature, was it is not possible to add Di2 battery strength as a data field on any of our screens. Instead, we have to go into the settings menu, navigate to the Di2 device and click "more" to see battery level. Not something one can easily do while riding and paying attention to the road. Easier to just hold a shift lever for a couple seconds and observe the led read-out before heading out.

Wahoo support: passed on to developer, ticket closed, never heard from again. Eg -dismiss custom alert, often pauses ride -page zoom to 5 fields but only shows 4, 5th is blank etc - overall it’s a good product let down by customer support

You can also check the battery status/levels of the sensors you have paired to the Wahoo.

@global cycling network What's up with the Canyon? Where's your Orbea?

I've had a wahoo for about a year now and keep having trouble with navigation, maybe someone here could help me. First when I load a route for navigation and ride I get visual indicators of an upcoming turn but I only get an audio indicator far in advance of a turn and then right as I hit the waypoint. I wish I could get the audio indicator of a turn just a few meters in advance of the turn , rather when I've hit the waypoint. If I'm not watching the head unit I find myself going past turns. It is frustrating to have to watch the head unit to know the turn is coming. Secondly when using the built in point to point navigation system the wahoo often wants to send me on high volume, high speed streets rather than bike friendly routes. It seems like a bike specific navigation unit would be more savvy with routing. Is there a way to tell the system to use more bike friendly streets.

Also my experience that navigation ion the Wahoo Bolt has its shortcomings. Synchronising a trip from smartphone is often troublesome and not working. Could be the restricted storage of the Roam(?) or a unsolved software problem.

@mattdbridges Рік тому

what stem mount holder do you recommend for the wahoo?

@rollandjoeseph 10 місяців тому

The out front one for me as I have my phone attached to the stem via quad lock

Why is the volume of GCN videos 5-10dB above any other channel? * madly adjusts the volume *

The whole 'sneaking out of work for a ride' kind of bummed me out - I have work friends on Strava who will be able to see if I take a ride during work hours. I suppose I could ride without logging it, but is that still even a ride?!? 🙂

@obidavekenobe Рік тому

Mmm... I've just upgraded my aging O.G. Bolt with the new Edge 1040. Fancy me😁 No more subscription hell. Garmin Connect is more of a one-stop-platform.

@Aureas133 Рік тому

I absolutely hate the fact that the zoom function doesn't let me in- or decrease the number of visible fields by just one, ad my previous bolt did... Now it jumps from 3 to 5 to 8 or something.

@matthewblue7839 Рік тому

The battery and gear are only available if you have the Shimano Bluetooth device, not all bikes have it: device and cable:like $150 usd: pricy.:(

Tip: don't use the map rerouting feature because it's terrible. If I go past my turn, it just beeps and squeaks instead of planning a sensible alternative.

@stefanvansteenberge Рік тому

For the Bolt 2 I find that the re-routing works very well.

Can you review the latest Garmin 1040 solar please.

GCN cant mention the name Garmin as long as Wahoo are sponsoring the channel

@ChrisHayworth100 Рік тому

All of this is also available on Garmin as well. I don't know if it would be worth the switch. Even as a cyclist I don't mind spending money but not spend money on what I already have.

@cappaculla Рік тому

Don't expect GCN to give you any advice on the Garmins :)

@DEAR7340 Рік тому

I have had a Garmin. In my experience, the bicycle computer is a more important line of business to Wahoo, than it is to Garmin. This is based upon my efforts in reaching Garmin for support or warranty related issues. Wahoo is more attentive and responsive - - again, in my experience.

‘Remind you to charge your gears so they don’t run out of battery’ and ‘tell you how many gears you have left on a steep climb’? This was where I got completely lost. What does any of that mean?

what mount does she use?

@targaW3007 Рік тому

A Wahoo bike computer can do may thinks more you don’t want! He can turn off in a middle of a long tour. He can loose all connections to your power meter in the middle of a tour, and sometimes a wahoo bike computer can just loose GPS in the middle of a tour. That’s my experience with my super expensive roam. Thanks wahoo.

@oraszuletik Рік тому

Did you get in touch with the support? I was an early adopter and my first Bolt did something similar back in 2017. Without question, Wahoo changed it to a new one. I'm still using that without any issue.

This bike was really easy to assemble ukposts.infoUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.
