Yeah, watching your carbon rim flex slightly as you eke the tire over it is disconcerting.

California goons: Tioga Pass Rd will be open to cyclists May 21-22. I rode it last year and it was a blast. About 45 miles each way with a total of 8,500 ft of gain. Trying to decide if I can squeeze in a vacation day on Monday. https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/tioga.htm

BIKE COMPUTERS: I don't need a ton of features/color/etc. All I care about is uploading rides to Strava and integration with Di2 and Garmin Varia. Routes are great, but it was such a process with my garmin 230 that I didn't bother with it too much. The new climbing feature which shows you current grade of a climb seems cool, but I think with all these computers you have to be on a programmed route to use that feature, right? I'm kinda leaning towards Wahoo just because it seems like their phone app integration works better than using buttons for everything on the Garmin. Thinking about Garmin 130, 130 plus (I don't think I need the plus since I wouldn't use any of the accelerometer functions since I'm not mountain biking), Wahoo Bolt v1 (there's some on amazon at least for $200). I'm not hooking up a power meter-it'd only be HR monitor, varia, di2, and maybe a cadence sensor. I've got a garmin watch so I'm in the garmin ecosystem already, but since everything uploads to Strava anyways, I really don't care about staying in a particular ecosystem.

It looks like the 130 or 130 plus doesn’t actually allow di2 connection, but it doesn’t seem like I’m missing much…from garmins site: quote:What Are the Benefits of Pairing a Garmin Device With a Di2 System? The only beneficial thing I see in that list is checking battery life but I think I can just do that with the shimano app?

I labeled the joke cable that came with my bolt v2 because it happens to be the only cable that will charge it, and I don't want to accidentally throw it out. Love it otherwise, but they really dropped the ball on this one.

I had a Garmin 130+ and I hated it. Went to a Wahoo Elemnt Roam and it's been great, no issues, works seamlessly with my Varia and Strava/Komoot.

Being able to flick between pages of the Garmin from the hoods is the best feature there. Map to data and back again while never moving your hands. Also the good thing about the battery is that it gives you a notification while you're riding along if the battery gets low, meaning you never actually have to remember to check it. Not having to remember to do something is one of life's best luxuries. vvv

I like the stuff garmin does and their hardware seems better and all but god I still hate their UI, it feels completely un-intuitive and confusing every time I try to help my wife set something up or figure something out on her 530 Still might get a Garmin if they end up rolling out some new versions of the 530 style, but my old Wahoo Bolt is chugging along fine for the time being

The monochrome button interface also drove me bonkers so I just sucked it up and got an 830. The 530/830 are wonderful with respect to data you can pop on the screen. I have been leading group rides and make frequent use of courses and the map. I don’t think the 530 does on the fly route mapping which is why I ended up with the 830.

I recently installed new bottle cages and am quite happy with my lezyne team cages (I think that's what they're called). Not as flashy as those supacaz ones though

The main issue is with C-C cables and Type-C chargers/host ports.

Since i use my element bolt on two bikes with two different power meters...if i switched bikes and forgot to recalibrate my bolt for the other bike's power meter at the start of my ride...if i recalibrate near the end will it apply to the entire ride or just from the point i recalibrated it?

You Bolt doesn't store any zero-offset information, it just sends the power meter a command to zero. If you zero your PM in the middle of your ride, power data from that moment on will use the latest offset.
