For those interested in Garmins Cycling Dynamics, here is a response I got back from Wahoo when asking if they would consider adding it to the Bolt:
"Thanks for using the Bolt! Our developers are looking into implementing cycling dynamics into the Bolt. We have recently received the beta draft documentation. I have gone ahead attached this ticket to the cycling dynamic feature request in our developer system so they can track (future) user interest. Hopefully this is feature we can see implemented for the Bolt via a future update.
Wahoo!!"

Chill dude... its called sarcasm.
Truth is, I'm totally pumpd that my buddy is letting me borrow his 820 while I send my Bolt out to be replaced. This is the the Bolt thread though and I think most of us here have bought into the Wahoo system because Garmin's menu system is like pulling teeth. I was merely pointing out that after being with the Bolt for nearly a year, it just made the Garmin system seem worse than I even remembered.

hoping one of you guys can help me while my Bolt is back at Wahoo...
I'm trying to sort out a weird Di2 quirk. I think I've got it figured out, but I can't confirm because I don't have my Wahoo. When I built up my TT bike, I installed the new d-fly sensor and connected the Wahoo to it. I wanted to be able to use the e-tube app on my phone to check the firmware and battery status of the Di2 system, but also wanted the gear info to be transmitted to the Wahoo so that I could get home and see what gearing combinations I was using most for certain Di2 courses. I've been doing that, but for some reason, the data was always saying that I was using a 52-36 crank and 11-28 cassette. I figured it was something in the E-tube app and dug around. I could not find a way to change it, unless I went in and configured the syncro shift option.
This past week, using my friend's 820, it is suddenly logging correctly as a 53-39 crank and 11-23 cassette, which led me t beleive that it was s setting within the computer. Sure enough, I found something in the Garmin sensor setup menu that allowed to me set crank and cassette. I'm wondering if anyone can confirm that the Wahoo has the same functonaility. I'm guessing it does and that I just missed it when I was setting it up. Thanks in advance guys.

I haven’t seen that setting in the Wahoo app but I’m running Di2 as well with the d-fly and it shows the hearing correctly. I set that Chainset and cassette option within E-TUBE and the Bolt picked it up. That’s not much help I know.

It is a help, because it gives me more info than I had previously..... How did you set it up in e-tube? Within the phone app? or within the computer app? The only adjustment that I see that allows to choose geaing is if I set up the syncro shift option, which I don't want to do.
Within the phone app, but I did set synchro-shifting on (the partial one) before turning it off again as I didn't like it. So perhaps turn it on, set the cassette options etc, and let the Wahoo pick it up. Then turn it off again and see if it's still there. I know I didn't do anything specific on the Wahoo side and it's still showing on my Bolt even though synchro is now off and has been for weeks.CrankAddictsRich wrote: ↑Mon May 07, 2018 11:09 pmIt is a help, because it gives me more info than I had previously.....

In the Wahoo app, Settings, Set Up Sensors, tap on the Shimano DI2 sensor (assuming it is paired with the Elemnt). Note: I mean tap on the "Shimano DI2", not enable/disable the radio button next to the sensor name . A pop-up will appear with two options: Rename and Gear Ratio Setup. The latter will allow you to configure your chainring and cassette settings.

Thanks.... that is similar to how the Garmin one worked, but sounds like it is a little different. I don't think I realized I could click on the "Shimano Di2"LiquidCooled wrote: ↑Tue May 08, 2018 11:13 amIn the Wahoo app, Settings, Set Up Sensors, tap on the Shimano DI2 sensor (assuming it is paired with the Elemnt).

Is there any chatter or reasonably informed speculation about whether wahoo is going to produce a replacement for the original ELEMNT? The Bolt has been a runaway success and for good reason. Seems like wahoo could take what they’ve learned and apply it. Put a larger screen into a sleek package and it would it have to be any larger externally than its predecessor, and improve the navigation features and wahoo could make further inroads into garmin market.

^^^ I haven't heard any chatter, but Wahoo seems to be pretty good at keeping new releases under wraps until they drop.

I got my Bolt back on wednesday night and got it all set up yesterday. Sure enough, tapping on "Di2" opened up a sub menu to set all of the gearing options. Thanks man.LiquidCooled wrote: ↑Tue May 08, 2018 11:13 amIn the Wahoo app, Settings, Set Up Sensors, tap on the Shimano DI2 sensor (assuming it is paired with the Elemnt).
