I may or may not keep the new Wahoo Elemnt Bolt, which I'm receiving as a warranty replacement to the unit I purchased 8 months ago. It's an excellent bike computer overall. I've just had more problems than expected with the Bolt (primarily the sensors) and the 1030 plus looks to be a major upgrade. Expensive, yes! But if I sell the brand new Bolt head unit and throw in the cadence and speed sensors, that would knock off a nice chunk of the purchase price for the 1030 plus. I can then purchase a 2nd mount and switch the 1030 plus between bikes.
Let us know how you get on with it.
I have a new computer coming as well (Stages Dash M50). Not because there is anything wrong with my Bolt (Bolt has been fantastic), but I wanted better power metric visuals. I was really considering getting the Karoo 2 but could not find anything that showed it could be configured to display power metrics like the Dash.
