Wahoo Element Bolt

I'm on the verge of ordering one of these. To the folks who use them a question please. I have a PowerTap C1 (Chainring) power meter, ideally these should be zero-offset before every ride. Does the Element Bolt have a menu item like the Garmin to do this? TIA.

It does and works for my Stages power meter. There is a “recalibrate” button under the settings/system menu. You can do it right on the head unit.

I think Wahoo offers a return period. Try it and see.

Here are the actual instructions on how it works and how you do it. You power meter needs to support the power meter profile under BTLE and/or ANT+. Fortunately virtually every current device does.

I use mine to zero-offset my Assioma pedals. It's worked every time.
