That map feature truly is incredible. It track where you have been, and has every route (from roads to MTB single track) displayed clearly so you can see where you’re going too. It’s saved me a number of times from being lost.
When I got back into cycling as an adult , my first computer was 3 fields speed, cadence , Heartrate. Now I have a garmin and I have a couple extra fields ( Elapsed time and Distance). But when I first started watching the pro races it was all SRM, and what was taped to the stem were important direction changes . Now all the teams have these GPS computers and the riders can actually see the route on the screen if they want, and the notes taped to the stem if any are the fuelling routine..
I found the less data fields I see on the bike computer, the more relax I am during the ride, hence happier. The only data that worth looking for me now is distance and time of the day 😆
I am the other way around, I am not such a fan of the detailed real-time steepness maps. Because suddenly I see > 18% and I get a small panic attack. When I don't see it coming I push through :P
I think tech savvy amateur cyclists are a lot better than pros on such things 😂 Or focus on totally different things, for instance the TIME, meaning what time it is (I haven't seen the pros knowing what time it is on their units) becausw we need to come back home on time. Or the amount of climbing, because we need to know where we are on the ride in terms of uphills. Anyways, on my main page I have: Speed, HR, Time, Ride Time, Avg Speed, Avg HR, Altitude, Elevation gain, Temperature, Total calories. I don't use a power meter. I also have the map page and definitely watch it in the descents to know if bends are sharp. I also have the altitude profile page.
I have a "bonking" data field on my Garmin. I created it during a break towards the end of a long ride. I have distance to go, ascent to go, eta, & temperature. Of all those fields, the ascent to go may be the most satisfying to look at since the number seems to drop fairly quickly....
Love this video and the content. I also enjoy Ollie with Dan, it’s like the dynamic duo of Silly and Sage (cue Batman music). No disrespect, I say it with love.
Is it just me, Or do you remember when your bike Sigma computer was wired and it showed ride time, distance and speed ? I remember racing when SRM came out and everyone in the peleton thought this was magic. I honestly can't believe how much data is on my Wahoo now. Go Cav.
Very interesting to see. I'm a bit oldskool, I don't have a Wahoo and had no clue al these functions were in it (also I didnt know the pro's used this during races)
I have had to ride and plot new courses and upload them to Google maps cycling feature for others to learn about from my precedent data collection from the Sigma ROX .
I have a very cheap and simple head unit. Just a clear map showing me my route, with turn by turn directions, my current speed and how far left I have to go.
Now now that wouldn’t be sponsor specific content if they showed other teams Garmin’s or even Hammerheads. Obviously only getting access to these riders as they have the same sponsors.
Very much like how Degenkolb controls his Spotify through his wahoo. Severely disappointed he's apparently been listening to the trash motivation song by Kontra K last.
What!?? No mention that the WAHOO is 11% more aero than their competitors? Learned this in the training sessions (for work) with Wahoo. 😄. I use just the basics. Speed, distance and elevation. Where I live there are large "dead" zones, so a phone is not reliable.
@henseleric wish that was true. I have been deep in the canyons and such. There is nothing. Once there is a signal, the GPS unit will fudge in a straight line. This has happened with both WAHOO and Garmin. We have a 2.5 mile tunnel out here. No signal gets through that.
@@alethearobinson8132 that must be some great canyons! Modern day phones actually combine multiple GNSS systems, like GPS, Glonas, Galileo and Beidou. This increases the chance of finding enough satellites in the sky, but is no guarantee if the canyons are deep enough.
Hello. please add portuguese translation in yours videos. Today I use the IA translation but it's not the same. I love yours videos in UK. Best Regards from ITU Sao Paulo Brazil
I'm not, and never will be a professional cyclist, so I have no screen on my handlebars at all, because I don't NEED any of this information, and I cycle partly to get away from screens. I carry a smart phone (on silent!) in my rear pocket running strava and as emergency navigation or 🤯 phone calls. I'm not denying that all this info is interesting and/or useful, but it's not for me. I recommend trying riding without one, see if you're any slower or quicker, and if you're more relaxed. Focus on your surroundings, listen to your body.
Tried that once, took away all my tech, focused on my surrounding, and got bored quickly. went back indoors where I can ride on a trainer while gaming on a PS5. That was 2 years ago, and never looked back since. nothing beats gaming on a PS5 while you cycle.
I dont have a power meter as that would just be embarrassing numbers anyway but i always liked seeing how fast i'm going and how far i have gone. and once in a while i try plotting a new route and load it on my old wahoo bolt but that one is rather shit at routing so you just end up getting lost which is also fine :P
Cycling should NOT be compared to F1 which is mostly about the technology. Cycling is about a human endeavor and should be compared to track and field (athletics to you). The less technology the better.
F1 is about the human endeavour in a million dollar race machine, just like cycling is about the human endeavour in a million dollar research road machine. Not much difference to be honest
That would be a miracle to be answered. I mean these guys are riding 15k-20k $$ bikes and honestly Wahoo it's far from being to most "fancy" out there. There's hammerhead karoo 3, Garmin 1040/1050, etc.
I’ll tell what’s NOT on my Wahoo - my bloody HR, useless HRMs. Don’t buy the HRM straps they are just unreliable even if the Elemnt Bolt is ok. Whinge over.
