I'm pretty much in the same boat here. Fairly invested in Wahoo ecosystem, other than my GPS. Having to record on my watch and stuff to get the data integrated. Think I'm gonna upgrade.

😂😂😅

what trail is that. looks familiar

how tall are you?

ALL solid tips. My only comment Lanky is that IF you wish to swap between studded & non-studded tires as the seasons change, tubeless can be a PITA. Other than that, tubeless is the way to go.

Heck Ya!

Thanks for opinions.

If I have a big hole I want to plug quickly, so my tool is within reach and can get it fired up within a few seconds of getting off the bike, If need another tool to access my plugging tool then it is a no from me I am afraid.

Thinking maybe a very light layer of petroleum jelly on the inner oring then maybe wipe the inside bar end with a q-tip so the outer oring will hold it in on rough trails. Just a thought.

Wahoo +1

You bring up valid arguments to getting out of fat biking. My only counterargument is that fat bikes do not have to be heavy. Many are of course around 32-35 pounds, but you can get them super light. I have a Farley 9.6 that I did some serious upgrading to. It weights 25.5 pounds, even with a dropper post. This bike is fast on xc trails, arguably just as fast as my Ripley on the same trails. It just puts a huge grin on my face every time I ride it. People never pull me aside to talk about my Ripley but I always get questions every other time I ride the Farley. People are always wondering what it is lol.

Thanks

Expect the unexpected .. on its bike ..

Perfect thanks

Hot body 👍🏻

My only regret was not getting the Edge 1040 solar version because of the massive memory. Twice the size as the non solar version, same as the Edge 1050.

I was tempted by the Elemnt Ace but I’m a Garmin user and have upgraded from Explore to 530 to 1030 plus and now I own a 1040. I don’t like the price tag for the 1050 considering the battery life. A lot of Wahoo users are unhappy with the new Elemnt Ace and are either going back to Garmin or sticking with their current units.

Where can I find one???🖤🖤🖤

Glad you had a enjoyable race season. Thanks for sharing. Are you riding fixed or free wheel in your races. 🤔

Pretty sweet bike, Dude.

Badass, great job on some seasonal goals. Cool video, this racing looks super tough. Im sure all the racers are crazy strong. I have so many questions about the bike. Looked like some aggressive 38's for tires? Shifting?

Good thing you got it in before the cold and snow set in! Seatpost slippage from the internal mechanism has been my biggest annoyance with my Canyon Exceed, hope you don’t have to keep encountering it.

Do you think this type of cycling makes you a stronger road cyclist or is it totally a different animal?

Awesome stuff 👏 👏

Sweet video, dude. Great job on 6th. This video was fun to watch, I have some special ties to Aliquippa also. Super cool.

Cool video, bud.

SAD MUSIC!

Just how it goes sometimes. Fair critiques. Locking down venues is one of the biggest barriers to hosting a race. I think this will be the last year for Gordon. We have a couple options in the works tho! Thanks for racing my dude

Are you still in NE Ohio? I'm in Cleveland and just got my first fat bike

😂😂😂😂😂

I love that I fell right in front of you lol

FREAKIN BOAs!

Awesome, fun to watch. Great footage. I’m not great with right handed turns either.

I do agree that the profiles would be a great enhancement for Wahoo. Although I don't do different disciplines, I do ride different bikes, with different equipment (some have power meters, some don't, one has electronic shifting, etc.). Garmin connect sounds like Apple's ecosystem. Once you are in it, you don't want to leave. I get it. I don't need it. Love my Wahoo Roam.

Garmin Connect is why I left Garmin and went to wahoo…. Ha

What bag is that under the top tube?

Excellent video, nice music. No need for a "come back"... I only ride lugged steel frame bikes.. have been for 70 years. I've passed on 4 of my bikes to my grand kids so left with just 4. 81 Miyata Pro Aero Suntour Superb and Shimano Ultra , 82 SOMEC Mostly Campy./Cinelli .. Rivendell Hunqapillar, Rivendell Cheviot. All 4 bought new. Liked and subscribed.

Great to see one way or another that steel bikes are making some what of a come back. Since the mid 70's I've been riding lugged steel bikes and still am today complete with period correct componentry from the era, friction shifting and so on. Believe it or not my go to road bike will be a converted Lugged steel TRACK bike, I had the frame builder of this frameset do the conversion for me, what I was was hoping for is exactly what I got, a super quick responsive bike that down hilled like a bat out of hell and it was a good climber as well, some would have thought it would be a horrible road bike but I've ridden many 100 mile plus rides without any problems what so ever and it performed when I need it to do so, it got me out of a few pickles here and there. BTW: Great looking bike!

Magic!

Nice job 👍

Hell yeah. Thanks for the shoutout! Nice to see my shoe made an appearance on the steep hill at 9:04

battle of the season for me so far this year. it was an awesome race going back and forth with you. my weight distribution is biased to the rear which helped me really dig in on that climb and get good bite. but the corners were complete chaos for me lol. you rode that last lap so well and just put me away.

Personally I prefer the Wahoo ❤, because I think it's much more user-friendly. Oh and you can upload your rides (gpx) into connect if you want.

THE PEOPLE WANT DAY 2 FOOTAGE. RELEASE THE TAPES!!!

its so cool to see someone in the same place as me since I also live in Cleveland! My favorite place to go skiing is Brandywine its right next to Boston mills, mainly cuz its where my school ski club goes.

Integration of fitness metrics is something that, sadly, from my point of view, will ditch Wahoo. They tried with the Rival and completely failed. I think not having a fitness ecosystem will really make the difference and you can see other companies spending efforts in doing this (Suunto-Sram, Coros). Wahoo somehow abandoned that fitness space and it was a very bad decision despite the fact that their cycling computers are really superior.

Great family fun. Damn trees! Awesome vid.

Couldn’t let the G rating stand could ‘ya? F-ing 🌳! 😀

I bought one it is alright but nothing to brag about
