I like mine. I chose it primarily because wahoo was only brand that let me sync directly with ridewithgps. It dowloads routes from the site when connected to wifi; uploads routes to both Ridewithgps and Strava with just BT.

I love my bolt. I used it I’ve for 13 hours straight and still had 10% battery life left. Everyone else on that one overnight ride lost their garmin at the ninth hour.

I use all wahoo sensors over four different bikes and they all synch and stay connected all the time. Can’t say enough good things about it.

I pit around 100 miles weekly and it has not failed yet I’m over a year of use.

The other thing Imwill say about Wahoo is that their customer service is very responsive. I was having an issue with uploading my bike commuting miles at the end of the day where loading my morning commute to Strava kept failing (no wifi or cell reception at work so cant upload my outward leg till I get home at the end of the day) and they were able tomsort me out.

By the way, on issue of commuting, my one criticism of Wahoo pertains to commuting. I would like to be able to record my daily commute as single ride that starts in the morning, then restarts in evening despite the 8-9hr gap in the middle. Wahoo has a ride recovery function that lets you stop, power off the unit while ride is paused, and then restart the same ride (a nice feature if you are doing a long ride and stop for lunch or what have you for an extended period). But the recovery feature only works if you restart within 6 hrs powering computer off,so there is no way to record my round trip commute as a single out and back ride with a 9 hr break in the middle. No big deal except that recording two short rides a day rather than one coninuous ride clutters my ride log. There is a way to go into Strava and Ridewithgps to link the rides after the fact, but thats kind of a pain, so would be nice if the recovery festure wasnt limited to 6hrs.

GPS signal strength varies depending where you are. It messed with my speed accuracy so I purchased their speed sensor. Yes heart rate and cadence are good to have. I have them too.

You don’t need any of the sensors but speed sensor is worth having if you want a more consistent speed reading when riding.. Even when gps signal is strong, GPS measures speed based on travel time across a longer distance than a sensor on your wheel so you will get more consistant reading from the sensor. I find GPS gives more accurate data on distance and elevation than a sensor alone so the tw complement eachother. The other sensors will be useful for you for training and monitoring level of effort during the rides.

The wahoo computer pairs with an app that has some route planning capability. But it also syncs directly with ridewithgps, which has superior route planning capability for free via its basic membership, including turn by turn, so thats what I use.
