Who has a jones here?
What size frame?
what is the headtube length (inside hs cups/outside hs cups)?
Wahoo Elemnt Bolt V2 is âbest in classâ
Edge 130 is cheaper and probably fine. Wahoo is $300, the 130 Plus is $200. Iâd go the extra $100. That buys you better usability, specifically the app is way nicer to use, easier to configure screens and such. Navigation isnât a PITA either.
It even does navigation reasonably well.

appreciate the feedback but it looks like wahoo doesnât allow 3rd party apps, so i canât display Xert metrics in real time. also, i prefer the smaller size of the garmin. gonna use my momâs costco membership to get a good deal on this thing. thanks all!

the karoo thing looks cool but itâs four hundred dollars
Wahoo is actually complete garbage now. My Bolt stopped charging. My buddyâs v2 kept on showing wrong elevation and the rma unit did the same , then Completely bricked, and then the new one he didnât even bother running and sold. and then wahooâs CS is abysmal. Anyways read about it here
I bought a 130 and it works well
Not the same class of product and I donât know about a good navigation app for it because the native maps feature is trash⌠but Apple Watch is great for tracking metrics. I love it because my riding style these days is all centric to my aging heart which it seems to do a great job of tracking HR.
during an 8 hour session I donât use more than 50% battery while also taking phone calls, sending texts and juggling SpotifyâŚ

But Heath says Wahoo is best in class

I thought @heath was all about Karoo?
Iâm thinking about grabbing a Redshift suspension stem to go with the post I got from Faxmachine last year. This is on my âcampingâ bike that has a Ritchey Kyote handlebar. Is there any reason I shouldnât use such a stem with a super wide bar, like too much leverage on the pivot or something?
I have the Karoo 2 (used a coupon to get 20% off last year). Compared to the $400 Garmin or Wahoo Roam itâs very competitive. Gets solid software updates every 2 weeks, the navigation/maps are pretty great, and it easily has the best screen in its class. I do miss the helper app that Wahoo uses to configure screens on he computer.
Remind me to measure mine (size medium). Note that the diamond and space frames in the same size have different headtube lengths.

feeding frenzy commence
What size and whatâs the headtube length
It is the old uni size, QR dropouts and all. Steel spaceframe. Got a fat front wheel with a Paul hub and a 29er Velocity Pacenti P35 wheelset, Revelate panniers and frame bag in camo.
Wish I was a 5â 10" man with a beard and not several inches taller with a beard 
I think Mr Jones is taller than 5â10"
I want to follow through with what will probably be a regrettable decision to try an XC bike in its place.
I would take 5â-10" and a better beard
