The screw on the mount is less for anti-theft and more for the pro scene - if it cannot be removed from the bike as affixed by the screw, it counts towards the UCI minimum weight limit. If it can be removed (I.e. unscrewed) it does not.
Interestingly DC Rainmaker mentioned that this is not the reason - in the comments of his review he said: "In fact, when I sat down with the CEO, he wasn’t even aware of the entire UCI component of why Wahoo did it."
@@DannyPimienta I road Mountain Bike for years and had a few full suspension frames and hard tails. I transitioned to mainly running when packing the car just got too complicated. Running is so much simpler lol. I’m back though! And I’m having a lot of fun with the gravel bike.
@@ChaseTheSummit I went the opposite direction lol. I went from ultras to cycling and now triathlons once I learned how to swim last year. It’s hard not to want to buy more bikes.
Strange because all other reviews I have seen so far, including DC Rainmaker and also dedicated cycling channels, all seem to be very unimpressed with the Coros Dura and all the quite basic things that do not work but might get fixed somewhere down the road. It may be very competitively priced but if it doesn't do half of what it is supposed to do I would rather pay more and get a tested and proven to work bike computer.
As a cyclist that rarely use navigation on cyclocomps but have been caught a few times with dead batteries, Dura as it is now is good enough for me. Knowing that it will get better with future firmware updates (like what they did for my Pace 2) is a very nice bonus.
@@rifu2301 True. It all depends on what you require/need from your bike computer. I started out with a non-gps version many years ago and basically just got speed and distance from it. Worked great until I got into longer rides and needed navigation, power, heart rate, and all the gadgetry we have come to expect from modern day head units.
Dave, have you been using the Dura since the review? Very curious if new firmware has addressed the bugs. I'm eyeing this and the Garmin Explore 2 or maybe a watch like the Pace 3 or Forerunner 165 to be multi-purpose (hike, run, and gravel biking.)
Really like the fact that it may never really need charged. It's probably not for me as I am pretty deep in the Garmin ecosystem though. BTW, welcome back into cycling. I thought there for a minute you'd be riding that rusty bike you had in your shed.😎
Does being a lefty means you cannot flick a button with your right index finger, at all? Do you customize your Di2 (or whatever) to shift with left buttons only? Do you not brake with your right hand? I am a righty, but I'd like to wear my watch on my right hand. Had no problem operating the buttons with my left fingers.

This channel is switching over to a cycling channel. Turning to the dark side. 🚴🏻♂ Great review
Don't hold your breath lol.
😅
Gravel bikes are the gateway bike….watch as the background fills up with bikes and bike parts lol

Yes, more cycling content would be great! Great review of the Dura
We need a demo of the “on guard” feature where you run out and do a flying elbow on the bike thief lol

I'll order one. They'll improve the firmware quickly.
Hoping they will impove theirs mapping experience..
I kind of wish I went with the Coros ecosystem instead of Garmin. Coros seems more affordable and has pretty good accuracy.

Nice one with cycling content
Thanks for that. I'm a coros fan already with watch and HR mon, and that just cemented getting it for me.
next vertix will be with solar panel?
##MexicanGreetings! Hard thing but also means something that lasts. Awesome video and super interesting point of view
Same in French. Dure is the same as Dura and it means both, hard and something that lasts.
Dura name something that lasts a long time, duro is hard

Ooooooooooooo
lol what if you are a lefty
That would be a problem I think? Not or just use the touch screen?

Why is there a 1 inch bezel up top? So ugly
It's a solar panel.
