I’ve posted this on the Elemnt google group forum and haven’t received a reply as of yet so I figured I’ll try here too. It’s concerning kJ readings on the Elemnt. I’m wondering if kJ readings are accurate on the Elemnt when a power meter is being used. The reason I ask is because the Elemnt uses strictly heart rate to calculate calories burned even if a power meter is being used, so I figured maybe a better way to estimate calorie burn is to just monitor kJ during a ride since calories are usually way high on the Elemnt.

I’m on the fence right now whether or not I want to replace my 520 with an Elemnt since it sounds like Wahoo has a lot of the bugs worked out, and I’m frankly tired of the constant dropouts with my Stages PM and the random freezing when trying to boot up the 520 requiring a forced master reset and having to restore settings from backed up files.
