@welshfarmer cheers, any gpx for that as im not from tge area and dont want to waste time “exploring” really.

@ dove1 cheers.

@trailwagger RWGPS was the first place i looked and didnt seem to turn up much at first look. Will have another look.

@dove1 cheers gpx would be great.

I should also say i dont have to start from the hotel i coukd park up somewhere if it gives more options and cuts out tarmac.

Further update,

Greg from Wahoo has emailed me to say there will be some firmware updates available late this week to hopefully fix any bugs, which is good. Hopefully it will fix my latest bug where the ride results on the app shows a max cadence of 220!

Yes, i must admit they have been on the ball trying to assist, much better than Garmin. Lets hope the issues can be sorted with software updates.

Shred
I have the same issue with fields jumping from 7 too 4 so i guess that is how they are out of the box, not sure if you can amend this.

Beginning to think im cursed….

According to my Elemnt app i had a KOM last night (big surprise believe me). After checking in Strava i was actually no where near (face palm).

Wahoo in the States rang me in the UK yesterday (would not get that from Garmin) and said they were not aware of the issue i have. The guy said he will pass it on to there developers who are pretty hot on Bolt bugs at the minute as it is obviously there newest product, so i need to look out for software updates soon.

Customer has been very good o must admit, just hope they sort it soon.

I was not aware of the Google forums, however i can’t find anything on this issue. Wahoo did call me yesterday from America but dared not ring back on my mobile for obvious reasons so i am awaiting another call. For those who do use HR zone, does the zone revert back to 1 once the activity has stopped. Mine still shows what my hr was when is stopped the last ride, in this case z3…. Is that right?

@ munkster

Yes i did get sweaty enough and have also tried it out at home. The Wahoo support have been great to a point but on this HR issue they have gone silent. I guess no one else has had the same issue ?

I have tried ringing their customer support phone line but it always says the are closed..

Couple of question.

I have just used min for a road ride and used the HR zones. However the zone only went up i.e on a hill climb i went into Z4 but the zone never settled back down, even after i removed my HR monitor. Anyone else had this issue?

Also, anyone use these for MTB?

As i said, im not after “proper mountain biking” , Just off road stuff. Been there done that when it comes to all the trail centre stuff so after bridal ways etc not gnarly stuff.

Pretty much from from the door. Im not talking what i would call proper MTB stuff just XC stuff, basically like bridal ways etc.

Really Mark, been looking but yet to find…

Sadly its not a long derailleur…

Ooops, what Rose bike have you had? I was on FB chat to Canyon the other day asking if i could get a different set up on a Ultimate such as Rose let you do, The huy said “No, and no disrespect but Rose dont do anything that comes close to Canyon”…

I have already had a few FB chats with Fin @ Rose and he seems very helpfull.

Cheers robw1…good to hear

curto80…can you explain plz?

Just seen the typo on previous post, i meant 2016..

@ esher shore

Budget wont stretch to a 2026 model unfortunatley unless my number come up this week.

both Propels and TCR looking neck and neck at the min. I have both bikes on demo from Tues for a few days so will get more of a taste then i guess, but TCR has the best deals in the sales just now.

@ mrblobby

That TCR looks real nice with the deeps on. Im think of the Advance 1 if i go TCR in black then purchase some deep rims. What rims you got on there?

Nice bikes – defo deeps look the business. What do you guys think about Propels for long distance (60-100 miles)?

Yes, TCR with Ultegra is really good price now and I agree that the Propel looks better with deep rims , but then so do most bikes. Amy pics of your rides guys?

Thanks for the offer TiRed but im in the Worcs…

As for test ride availability, i got one booked no probs but availabilty of the bikes was the issue, thats why ive had to wait weeks.

Really..how much snakebite?

@ esher shore, great little review. As ive said , i ahve a test ride on the TCR and Propel 2015 models soon so will see how they go but after your review it seems the TCR maybe too harsh.

Still awaiting test ride (Aug 16th) of the TCR and Propel, but must admit i like the Defy but discs are putting me off for some reason….

Got both booked on demo but not till August locally. That said I’m in South Wales this weekend so will see if Tredz have any demos free..the saga continues.

Not fussed at all ref Strava. Availabilty of both is pretty bad as far as test rides go in my area. Maybe able to get a test at the weekend as im down in Wales, providing Tredz have stock…

grilla – What Radon have you got ?

Sorry , yes. BikeDiscount in the case of Radon is what i meant/should have put.

Cheers, i will send them my measurements.

Tindal11

Thats interesting that you have a 56 at 6 foot. I told Radon i was 5’10 and they suggested a 58. That said the top tube is 56 on the 58, same a my 56 Trek . Do you think a 56 (54 top tube)would be ok for myself.

That Guila in the pic looks nice. What the cassette ratio? How tall are you lunge and what size did you get ?
Also what the rims like?

Link won’t copy and paste..but this links good on Merlin site..Sensational Calabria 105 cusTom.

Ok, budget increased to £1500 max…Ultegra would be nice.

My mate has just bought a Cervelo, which looks pretty much same spec as the Vaillant only 2K+ more expensive.

Cheers tindal11, fancy either the Spire or the Vaillant.
