Wahoo Fitness

Long time road rider. I have worn out the battery on 3 varia units, much quicker than the head unit battery. The battery charge lasts through a couple of long rides, same as Garmin. I am hoping, but don't know, if it will do better than the varia at holding that charge 2 years from now. My hope is based on a newer design and electronics. The mount is sturdy, and easier to secure to the seat post. Some of the features are controlled through a separate app, although you won't need to use the app after initial set up. Radar function works as well as the Garmin, and there are more flash patterns, the light turns off if there are no cars detected, and it has a brake light function.

So far the sensor has performed reliably paired with my Wahoo Roam. Installation was pretty easy - I have found a crochet hook useful for grabbing the end of the rubber bands to hook them on the body. There was a little confusion because I ordered the RPM speed sensor which is discontinued and has been replaced by the TRACKR speed sensor. When I received the TRACKR I contacted BTD support. They got back to me quickly with this information and said they would be sure to take the RPM sensor listing down from the site.

Recently moved my trainer from garage to the house. Used this floormat to minimize vibration and protect floor from sweat, etc. This floormat has worked well so far. No complaints from my wife about noise / vibration when I'm on the trainer at 5am and it cleans up easily. I had a mild odor when it first arrived, but I let it sit out for a few days and that has dissipated. I also laid the floormat out for a few days with weight on the ends to prevent them from curling up. All in all, an excellent product.

I got injured and needed a trainer for rehab and thought it would be a good idea to use it to ride later in the winter as well. It was fairly easy to assemble and connect the bike to it. There are adapaters in the kit and while the instructions weren't great (and the link to the video is so old school technology and size) it didn't take too long to figure out. One thing I missed is the fact that you can change the COG to fit your bike better so without it it made noise. The Zwift click attached was easy to connect and so were all the electronics.

All in all pretty good and while I ended up upgrading to the zwift frame since I felt having a bike on a trainer with all the sweat and forces is not really ideal and I was too lazy to reconnect it every time its easy to use and the zwift integration is really cool.
