Enjoy! Thanks!

Nice!

Hope you enjoy your computer! Thanks!

whilst navigating, is it possible to show the speed, hr and cadence as well?

Sweet! Thanks!

Thanks so much!

Thanks Jaden! Those buttons are great even with gloves!

2020: the blurrrrrrrrr 😂 Thanks Tariq!

Sure thing!

👍

The Bolt is another great device but I’ve come to like the size of the Roam display. Thanks Matt! Can’t wait to check out your video!

💪

Sure thing! Thanks!

Thanks!

Good point!

True but all the pages show up all the time which isn’t the most ideal

@@DesFit is this different than the Bolt (V1)? One can easily toggle pages on and off in the app. Yes it is a step to take at the beginning of the ride but easy enough to toggle on “commute” page and toggle off “gravel/road/power etc” page when those pages aren’t needed for that specific ride???

Does it have auto pause as an option? Assuming yes, and you are just not using that feature.

@@tweet-tube Strava saved the day!! I couldn't adjust my Elemnt Roam, or my online Elemnt ride page... however Ive got the Elemnt linked to my Strava, so that after the ride - end - the session is then automatically uploaded on my Strava page. My Strava page --( this is cool ) - Recognized that something wasn't right, and gave me the tool on the ride map to adjust the actual end spot - that is, my parked car at the trailhead - and not 10 miles away in my driveway. It was so easy - and Needed! Thank you Strava-- and No, the Elemnt roam did not give me that option, so - on my Elemnt page it still shows my drive home. but, my Strava page is what counts for me personally. My Strava page is where I post my pictures and the description of the ride. As far as the auto pause - yes, the elemnt road does have auto pause, and it works 100% great - every time. Its just that I was distracted by someone, and In my head believed that I had already hit the - Stop - end ride. By, still love the roam.

Or BRoam as GP Lama calls it ;)

I have lots of devices to test so I typically have to wear two watches most of the time! 😆

LOL, you’re totally right. You definitely know you’re PAUSED 😳😂

Press the Page button and it goes away.

@@jakesiney yes that I know, it's a little thing but bugs me when I stop at a light and look down to check out the map and it's covered, and then I have to hit the page button. Small usability thing that gets annoying after 2 years of riding with it. Very small issue.

You must have one of those super-large diameter bars?

@@DesFit on one bike it’s the other way around! On the other the cables are in bad locations. My bikes are finicky.

Buttons are definitely great in colder climates!

They should attach loupe so reading what's on the screen would be possible.

That interface is when you use the "Go to..." function to choose a location on the map. As of this time I don't think there is actually a way of browsing the map without using that feature. Thanks!

@@DesFit hmm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can't find the "Go to..." function. I see Route, Start, Page. If I select Route I only see Retrace Ride, Route to Start, Take Me To, Surface. Am I looking in the right place?

I am in the same boat @andrew. Edge 800 is still working and still getting updates 15+ years later. Wireless syncing would be nice and something more responsive would be nice. I do use the Edge 800's touch feature a lot - to swipe through screens and maps. Looks like I will wait a bit. Keep having folks suggest I get a Wahoo. Before yesterday, I was very very close to pushing BUY on either the 1030/830/530.

I’d go for the new Bolt V2. Color display is super nice. Thanks!

Thanks 👍

If you have falcon eyes - screen is terribly small.

Same. In the market and waiting. Tried to get one the other day and it is out of stock. I am not familiar with Wahoo's product lifecycle. Curious of the global chip shortages are impacting the next release from Wahoo?

Agree. Great piece of kit but I'm holding off until I know about shelf life.

That’s what’s great about most bike computers is they generally last for quite some time.

I have no indication that they are replacing the Roam anytime soon.

Watches can track your overall health as well as your activities but a bike computer is much easier to use while actually riding. Trying to look at data on a watch is kind of challenging if you don't want to take your hands off the handlebars. Thanks!

Yup, definitely!

...Apple?

I still get updates monthly for my Garmin Edge 800… from 2006. Still works great, and does everything the Wahoo devices do for the most part, but I feel like it is time to upgrade - the wifi/wireless syncing would be nice and the device seems more user friendly to configure. I do turn by turn, custom workouts and many other things with the Edge 800, but speed and cadence sensor is starting to fail.

Yeah unheard of in tech... Meanwhile Microsoft gets roasted for only supporting windows 7 for 11 years...

Hopefully they can update the Rival with some of those features 👍

I thought the Wahoo devices offered training programs.

@@tweet-tube yes it offers pre installed programs. But what I'm missing is a training load function like on polar devices. And maybe some training suggestions what to train next regarding to my actual fitness level.

Also wondering if something new is coming, or if they are suffering form shortages due to pandemic problems with workers and chips.

I lost my Garmin remote but I doubt it.

Have you tried removing the Strava access and then re-authorizing?

@@DesFit I’ve tried that still not able sync the Routes unfortunately

Yup!

@@DesFit deciding between this and Garmin Edge 830? 😬

I think the Edge 830 offers a bit more and it’s easier to use

I agree that most people will likely have their data fields set up at home, beforehand. I just wanted to point out the difference to prospective buyers, especially if they are coming from a Garmin device as it would be something different. Thanks Mate!

@@DesFit You did an absolutely amazing job listing the pros and cons unbiased ( and silently comparing it to Edge devices between the lines) :-) I'm just always surprised that we don't really have "more important" differences :-D

I think that illustrates that devices from many manufacturers are offering a lot, just with a different flavor, so it may come down to user preference. Thanks Mate!

It can sync health data with Apple Health. Under Profile, then Authorized Apps 👍

@@DesFit I know. I asked why you don‘t Sync to Apple Health. Sorry, I don‘t Write in english often

No worries. I don’t use Apple Health to track my daily metrics.

For anyone using Apple Health (I do every day to run, workout and as a back up ride in case my Edge 800 fails), there is a great iOS app called HealthFit, which provides really great data analysis (better than Strava) and it also syncs from Apple Health to many other sources. I use HealthKit ($3.99 in app store, one time payment) to get the data Strava charges for, and sync to Strava from Apple Health.

I had a Bryton. Great but they never update the firmware for bugs an features. Their idea of an update is to buy their new computers as they churn them out every year. Have the Wahoo Bolt for 3 years and still getting updates.

Yup!

@@DesFit thanks!!!

Yup! And quite well!

That’s crazy... you’ll have to charge it for every ride soon enough :/

The battery life was a little disappointing, for sure. Sorry to hear about that Jim!

@@JadenFeddock Charging it for every ride isn't really an issue - I charge everything after every ride anyway. I'm more concerned that the battery life will be be short enough that long rides may result in some battery anxiety. In summer, I often to 100mi plus rides off in the foothills near my home. It's not uncommon to be out for 7-8 hours. I hope I don't have to start carrying a spare battery bank. At the urging of the bike shop where I purchased it, we've opened a support case. We'll see what Wahoo recommends.
