Great job, really enjoyed the video. Keep on riding!!!

Steel is the deal. You can have carbon & Aluminum... My Motobecane Gran Premio w/ Mavic Cosmic Elite UST wheelset w/ 24mm gators is lightning fast & buttery smooth. 😉 Hello, Moto. 😎

To each their own. As a former software developer I'd call Gamin Connect a User Experience disaster. Stuff that just works on the Bolt V2 (e.g. syncing maps to RWGPS or Strava) requires downloading separate apps, and then entering into those apps to manually extract your route. Then, instead of just going to a straightforward ROUTES menu, you have to navigate a convoluted field of menus to download your ride, and then "load" it from courses in navigation to do an actual ride (the Wahoo process by comparison, turn it on, and select the ride you want, it will have already synced automatically). And what if you want to download a different route in the middle of a ride because the sync which Garmin said was sucessful actually failed? Nope, can't do that. You have to stop and save your ride before you can download the ride that it said had synced successfully to begin with. Further, the Garmin seems to have flaky password storage. Twice now, I've either had to delete a WiFi network and re-add it, or unpair and repair a phone because, despite the fact that the proper password was entered and is being displayed, the Garmin refuses to log in. I know I'm not alone in this because whenever I ask a question about stuff like this to my club mates, "Did you delete your network/phone pairing/connect IQ app and reload it" is a standard problem-solving response, which it absolutely should not be. These are the kinds of things as an SQA manager that would have caused me to veto a release candidate. That was unacceptable in 2000 and it's still unacceptable now. GARMIN (if you peruse YT) PLEASE HIRE A USER EXPERIENCE ENGINEER, AND A SOFTWARE QUALITY ASSURANCE DEPARTMENT.

Have you found the Garmin headunits and watches over record power data? I've found when you stop pedaling and freewheel, the power would spike up before dropping down to zero. This then adds watts to your average power, displaying more than you actually have done. Particularly unhelpful on an XC ride where theres a lot of stop start pedaling. The wierd thing is when you upload the data afterwards, Strava and training peaks actually display the correct power, so it records correctly on the device, but doesn't display correctly when out on a ride!

I do not get fatbikes. I have ridden some rentals, but compared to even cheaper end MTBs, fatbikes: are bouncy - so bouncy they bounce up and down even from pedaling them with low gear. Sure you get over branches and stuff with those tires, but you have far less control. Steering is terrible due to tires. First its almost normal, just sluggish, but when you turn more its like there is an edge and you suddenly went over it by turning too much. Then pedaling. No matter what someone tells you, it is harder, much harder than with an MTB. I seriously recommend renting one to try them before buying. I see fatbikes the same way as hovercrafts. They are fun to play with a short while and there are some very limited uses where they excel, but on road or off road, an MTB is much better. I would consider a fatbike only if you already have an MTB and an eBike.

My battery drains quickly. 3 hours of driving consumes 70% of the battery. I drive without backlight and I don't know what to turn off anymore. I'm asking for help Thanks 😊

Nice ride. As a low maintenance gravel/cross I plan to run canti rim brakes. Love the colour scheme

I went from a Garmin Instinct watch (and Connect), which I felt was a little overkill for my needs to an Elemnt Rival watch when the Instinct's battery life began to become a problem. The Wahoo was definitely pared down by comparison and I didn't feel like I was giving up too much in terms of tracking data. Although as you note, there were some customizations missing for when I shared rides to places like Strava. But then Wahoo pushed an app update in May that essentially bricked the watch's GPS as a standalone option (Cust Serv told me I should keep my phone paired and active). So I went back to a new Instinct, it's expanded features, and don't see myself considering a Wahoo watch the next time unless they finally develop a more robust watch themselves.

Dood all the garmin connect stuff about showing you how you did on your rides and if you were productive to me was never right or useful

Any updated impressions after a few months? Thanks for the review.

I have a Polar Grit X Pro 2 watch + a Wahoo ELEMNT ROAM v2, and it's a good combo I have been running for a couple of years now. You get the ease of use of Wahoo + the health platform from Polar, and both are much cheaper than some of the Garmin lineup. My only downside is to start and end the activity on the watch two, but it's something I can live with. I think these two should merge at some point to plant a better competition to Garmin, to be honest.

Nice dude. Im trying to pack on some heat too

Totally agree, the Garmin ecosystem is outstanding, IMHO. I have no idea what it would take to get me away from Garmin.

Nah bro, that is not how you deadlift

You could remove the shades when talking to a camera !

Epic, thank you!!

Where does this trail start? I’m visiting Cuyahoga Falls this week and the trail looks great! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I simply was not happy with the gps reception of my Bolt2. Literally no strava segments ever finished when there are trees at the side of the street and no gps-settings. It got outperformed by my old 520 in that department, which was just weird. And since I am back on Garmin I started to appreciate those training analyzing features.

A gravel bike isn't a road bike. Try riding a gravel bike in your bicycle club's pelton.

Garmin Connect... 100% FREE !!!! No ads. No upsells. No subscription. No badgering. None of the modern annoyances. Thank you Garmin!

I hate that Garmin Connect is so different on mobile versus laptop. Other than this, it's great.

Haha. The Dylan-Johnson-style-slacker-dude-alter-ego is funny as hell.

In deed, you don't have to do this. I've been switch from this to that and finally i realize i just need a Garmin Fenix to record everything and I can have another bike computer whateven brand it is. I can just let my Garmin Fenix do everything, and combined with another device to do a double recording, that's more easy to manage. Just sell my old 1030 plus and get another BSC300 head unit, that's so fun to use another brand of head unit, and it won't ruin my complete training time line on my garmin connect. The watch can just stay in my backpack or in my pocket while dual recording. It's just still to small of mine Fenix 7X on a bike mount. And it's actually better than use both Garmin head unit and a garmin watch. It's actually more than one Garmin units, it is not very sync together especially you reliy on head unit mostly for riding and read data on watch. It's always something not really same.

One of the best and most honest reviews on youtube I have seen in a while. Thank you 👏🏽🙏🏽

Great job

Always nice to get a good fit.

Great video! Will this method work with a seat dropper on the bike?

You can upload fit file (from Wahoo) to your Garmin Connect and get all data. This will take about 1 min.😉

The reason is quite obvious if you look at the biomechanics: your knee joint isn't a single point rotation, it actually slide and rotates. And all your joints are filled with cartillage that compresses under load. So you are trying to match a variable system who's geometry varies depending on the load it gets to a fixed bicycle system. There is no logic in thinking that the interface between those two can be and fixed and efficient.

God damn that VO2 of yours…. If only I was vlose to that!

1st 5 miles is too short and sitting pedal won’t make a difference. Try 100 miles with long climbs and some sprint is when the clipless shine. There’s pro and con on mtb but on road clipless won all the way.

Love flats

I have the Garmin 840, the thing with Garmin I don’t need all the functions. I’m moving back to wahoo element roam v2 because it has a better user interface. Garmins interface is not intuitive. I also don’t need Garmin connect but I get it, some people do like the ecosystem. I use Strava for all the training info alongside trainer road. But I have to pay subscription fees but everyone is different, nice video.

Next time just lose the glasses, hope you do not talk to your child with those on your face. Don't know what makes people think that they can talk to other people with sunglasses on! Other than that great video!

Hi, what's your take on riding the topstone with the kingpin suspension and a carbon fork?

The Hayduke is a swiss army knife. It does a little bit of everything short of double black diamond downhills. It does it pretty comfortably too.

It’s interesting that I left Garmin because of difficulties with Garmin connect but they seem to have fixed most of them now. My wahoo bolt v1 is now approaching 5 years old and is nearly ready for retirement, so it’s time to make another decision…….

If you allready have a garmin watch, then why dont you use both garmin watch,and wahoo computer?

I've read several articles and watched videos comparing Wahoo and Garmin, but no one has mentioned The One Reason. I use the Polar flow app to monitor a chest strap and appreciate that extra data too. Thanks for video.

My choice: Garmin Forerunner/Epix/Fenix on the wrist for all the stats (Garmin Re-Routing still sucks big time, even on a 1040) and Wahoo for Navigation.

I would like to see more 2.8-3.2 inch fatbikes, it seems like a lot of the market skips straight up to 4-inch which is fun but unecessary for a lot of people, it doesn't feel like a bike anymore. I see a lot of 20x3 inch e-bikes, but I'd like to see some actual 26x3 inch and 27.5x3 inch bikes, to give that extra comfort factor without adding quite so much weight, bulk, and rolling resistance, and without looking like it's not a bike anymore.

Nice bikes bruh!

I bought one a few years ago. It was slow and it was very heavy. I loved that bike and rode it 20 - 40 miles every other day. Everyone has personal preferences.

Just found your channel. I’m the other guy in the crash 😂. I had an amazing start, I attribute it to uphill and on pavement. The long drags are my weakness, so I was getting caught.

Can Garmin Connect import data from Apple Watch Ultra? I don’t have a Garmin watch.

This is a 1986-87 with Oria tubing. It would have come with Campagnolo Triomphe groupset with maybe Gali rims, and would have retailed for about $600 as a entry level racing bike. Yours is a repaint with 1983 Olmo logos, which someone has scanned into a computer and changed Olmo for Dosi. Also, you meantioned you may think this maybe this is a time trial bike, its not. I doubt it was touched by Dosi. Small frame builders would have wanted to be part of the Italian bicycle demand and populartity during the 80s. He may have worked with an American distributor to stock small shops around the US. It may have been built for a racer, but not having number plate braze on, I doubt it. However, thats a good thing. Who wants a bike that has been raced? Enjoy your bicycle.

Does it have shifters on the hoods or downtube? Also how many speeds?
