In this video, I explain the key reason why I ditched Wahoo as well as some things I liked and didn't like about the Element Bolt V2. Garmin worked better for me, but depending upon what you're looking for, perhaps Wahoo is a better choice.

It’s interesting that I left Garmin because of difficulties with Garmin connect but they seem to have fixed most of them now. My wahoo bolt v1 is now approaching 5 years old and is nearly ready for retirement, so it’s time to make another decision…….

I like how you snuck in your VO2 max at 6:39 as a subtle flex.

😂 my stats are all messed up as I’ve been off the bike and running instead.
@ThePrez75 7 днів тому
My choice: Garmin Forerunner/Epix/Fenix on the wrist for all the stats (Garmin Re-Routing still sucks big time, even on a 1040) and Wahoo for Navigation.

I've read several articles and watched videos comparing Wahoo and Garmin, but no one has mentioned The One Reason. I use the Polar flow app to monitor a chest strap and appreciate that extra data too. Thanks for video.
@TimFitzwater 7 місяців тому
Confirms my Wahoo choice 😅. I only care about maps when it’s a loaded route and I just want to record my rides without the phone… Makes total sense why you would prefer the Garman though for your style or riding.

No “industrial gravel” activity profile for you
@330_Crew 7 місяців тому
I’m glad I never bothered leaving Garmin. Having no customizable profile by ride type would drive me nuts. I use the same head unit across four different bikes: MTN, fat, gravel, and road. Plus integration with Trailforks is great when visiting unfamiliar MTB trail systems. Last time I was in Pisgah I was picking a recommend routes on Trailforks, star it as a favorite, and it would automatically be saved to my Garmin as a MTB course. Down there cell service is non existent so it was my only means of navigation.
@TheLankyCyclist 7 місяців тому
Garmin has its quirks, but if you’re used to it, like we are… it becomes second nature. Forgot about trail forks… was using that often on the 530 but must not have it setup correctly on the 540. Shows you how little I’ve ridden the MTB in the last couple of months since picking it up.
@Andy-od7mw Місяць тому
Thanks for the warning. I've had one Garmin Edge 500 and several Forerunners. Some of the Forerunners have not lasted very long. I was contemplating a Wahoo Roam or Bolt - but not now. I'm too invested in my Garmin Connect data.
@JDirom 7 місяців тому
Interestingly enough, I may be switch as well. I was curious to see your reason, mine is not the same, but I do think that the way data is organized is a good one.

What’s got you thinking of switching?

@SLDam32 Місяць тому
My Wahoo Bolt v2 was good for the first year, then the battery wouldn't last long and now it won't upgrade to latest software versions, despite going through every troubleshooting step. Buying a Garmin 840 and won't look back.
@TheLankyCyclist Місяць тому
bummer. 840 is nice.

Can Garmin Connect import data from Apple Watch Ultra? I don’t have a Garmin watch.
@TheLankyCyclist 9 днів тому
Not sure, but I doubt it. No incentive for them to do that.
@ElevationEveryWeekend 7 місяців тому
I still need to get on the bike computer/power meter bandwagon. Since I have used a Garmin Instinct for about 4yrs now will probably just stay in Garmin ecosystem.
@TheLankyCyclist 7 місяців тому
If you're already in the Garmin ecosystem, lots of incentive to stay.

agreed. many people could probably just use their phone.

If you allready have a garmin watch, then why dont you use both garmin watch,and wahoo computer?
@TheLankyCyclist 2 дні тому
I like using a bike specific computer on bike… hard to see the watch while riding and some other features that are better for cycling on computer vs watch.
@noisufnoc 7 місяців тому
I appreciate your take. Im a Wahoo ROAM V1 user and havent used any Garmin products short of my Varia radar. Ive been getting around the lack of profiles with multiple pages on my Wahoo, but the Strava feature would be convenient. I am intrigued by all the data analytics, however I've got devices from different ecosystems so I'd have to go all in.

He needed more of a race oriented fat bike, like a Salsa Beargrease, rather than that heavy Surly.

100% this and the maps suck. Will be going back to Garmin when my wahoo dies.
@nstoll_ 7 місяців тому
Sorry, but feels like video #98923 on the subject 🥱 Just find out about a product's features BEFORE you buy it. It's that simple... or just stick with what your happy with 🤷🏼♂

Had to try Wahoo for myself.
