Tacx NEO 2 Smart Trainer In-Depth Review
www.dcrainmaker.com/2018/12/smart-trainer-depth-review.htmlAnd ultimately it follows Wahoo’s popular model of incremental changes to existing trainers – rather than massive shifts from model to model.
My 2012 Trainer Recommendations: Early Edition
www.dcrainmaker.com/2012/10/my-2012-trainer-recommendations-early.htmlFor example, if I had made the price range $500-$1,000, and then an additional $1,000+ range, it would have grouped together the $550 LeMond Fitness Revolution with the $999 Wahoo KICKR.
The Interbike 2012 Sports Tech Golden Nuggets (with Polar, Garmin, Timex, TrainingPeaks, Metawatch and more…)
www.dcrainmaker.com/2012/09/the-interbike-2012-sports-tech-golden.htmlI’ve been talking with the inRIDE (and Wahoo) folks about this feedback for a number of weeks, trying to understand what the viability is for getting ANT+ added.
4iiii’s Viiiiva ANT+ to Bluetooth Smart Bridge & Heart Rate Strap In-Depth Review
www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/07/viiiiva-bluetooth-bridge.htmlOn the cycling accessory side, there are only one or two companies making Bluetooth Smart speed/cadence sensors (such as the Wahoo Blue SC), and they too won’t work with your existing ANT+ bike computers.
Stages Starts Shipping New Dash M50/L50/L10 GPS Bike Computers: First Ride Details
www.dcrainmaker.com/2019/06/stages-dash-first.htmlStages Dash M50: $249 – This is the mid-sized unit, kinda like a Wahoo BOLT or Edge 520 Plus.
A look at Garmin’s new ANT+ Speed & Cadence magnet-less sensors
www.dcrainmaker.com/2014/05/garmins-magnetless-sensors.htmlThere is no way to change this order on any devices on the market I'm aware of, except a few apps such as the Wahoo Fitness app.
Garmin Forerunner 910XT In Depth Review
www.dcrainmaker.com/2011/10/garmin-forerunner-910xt-in-depth-review.htmlFinally, last but not least I’ll show off how to use the Wahoo Fitness iPhone dongle to download your FR910XT workouts directly from your watch to any number of online services (or just e-mail the results to yourself).
First Look: Stages New Dash L50, M50, and L10 GPS Bike Computers, Including Color Mapping
www.dcrainmaker.com/2018/07/stages-dash-computers.htmlBut in the case of the Stages units, these numbers are with the backlight enabled - whereas that’s definitely not the case with Garmin and Wahoo.
Bikes, Beer, and Tech Live Podcast/Video from TDU Posted!
www.dcrainmaker.com/2020/02/bikes-podcast-posted.htmlWe ended up tweaking the format away from just Shane and I recording the FIT File with audience questions, to also having Murray Hughes and Neal Henderson from Wahoo.
The End of An Era: CompuTrainer Ceases Production
www.dcrainmaker.com/2017/02/computrainer-ceases-production.htmlAnd this would serve as my main trainer for another half-decade more, until the original Wahoo KICKR came out.
My 2013 Sports Gadgets Recommendations
www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/11/sports-gadgets-recommendations.htmlIf you’re looking for a budget option that records your route, your first and best bet is actually your phone with a free app like Strava, MapMyRide, Wahoo Fitness, or similar.
My Winter 2014-2015 Bike Trainer Recommendations
www.dcrainmaker.com/2014/11/2014-winter-trainer-recommendations.htmlThis past year saw Wahoo introduce Android support for the unit with their own app, which helped to bridge the last remaining gap for non-iOS users.
Tacx NEO Bike Plus: A Quick Update on Accuracy & Steering
www.dcrainmaker.com/2023/09/update-accuracy-steering.htmlI was using the Wahoo POWRLINK Zero pedals.
Huge Fall Sale: 20% off All Trainers & Most Power Meters, $100 off Fenix 5, GoPro Hero6 deal!
www.dcrainmaker.com/2017/11/trainers-meters-fenix5.htmlThis is pretty much Garmin giving Wahoo the middle finger (after Wahoo did that courtesy to Garmin all summer).
JetBlack Victory: New $399 Direct Drive Smart Trainer Hands-On
www.dcrainmaker.com/2024/07/jetblack-victory-trainer.htmlThat included things like the original Zwift Hub (ironically made by JetBlack), as well as the new Zwift Hub CORE ONE (made by Wahoo Fitness).
Suunto 9 Peak In-Depth Review
www.dcrainmaker.com/2021/07/suunto-watch-review.htmlMeanwhile, for HR accuracy testing I’m typically wearing a chest strap (either the Polar H10 or the Garmin HRM-PRO, but also a bit of Wahoo TICKR/TICKR X too in this post) as well as another optical HR sensor watch on the bicep (mostly a blend of the Polar OH1 Plus & Polar Verity Sense, as well as the Scosche Rhythm+ 2.0, with a few Whoop 3.0 band sessions tossed in for fun).
My Winter 2015-2016 Sports Gadget Recommendations
www.dcrainmaker.com/2015/11/winter-sports-gadget-recommendations.htmlWe of course also have Wahoo with their pending ELEMNT, which looks like it could be a very solid first go at the GPS bike computers, however, it just got delayed till January – so it can’t make the cut for now, but is certainly something to keep tabs on.
The Best GPS Sport Watches (2021 Recommendations Guide)
www.dcrainmaker.com/2021/11/sport-smartwatches-recommendations.htmlThis watch easily competes with far more expensive watches from Garmin, Polar, Suunto, and Wahoo.
Shimano R9200P Power Meter In-Depth Review: Astonishingly Inaccurate
www.dcrainmaker.com/2023/02/shimano-r9200p-astonishingly.htmlYou’ll notice the wahoo KICKR V6 & Garmin Rally stay in agreement, despite the Shimano R9200P going off-kilter.
Huge Spring Sale Begins: 20% off All Trainers & Most Power Meters, $150 off Fenix 5 Plus and 30% off Suunto
www.dcrainmaker.com/2019/05/garmin-trainers-percent.htmlOnly difference this time is that it doesn't include any Wahoo, Tacx, or Garmin products, but otherwise it's all identical and all other product ideas I listed below except those are included.
Weekend Tidbits: Hammerhead Adds Radar Support, Elite Releases Upgrado app, Garmin adds Edge connection to inReach
www.dcrainmaker.com/2019/10/hammerhead-releases-connection.htmlGarmin, of course, became the first years back when they acquired and then released the technology, but then Wahoo added support across their lineup last month.
Tour de France 2019: The Trainers & Power Meters
www.dcrainmaker.com/2019/07/france-trainers-meters.htmlSo while I’d have loved to also cover things like GPS bike computers (virtually all Garmin, save one or two Wahoo teams, one Pioneer team, one Stages team, and one Bryton team) – doing so requires more people concurrently to pull off.
My 2012 Sports Gadget Recommendations
www.dcrainmaker.com/2012/11/my-2012-sports-gadget-recommendations.htmlIf you can wait till a few days after Christmas: Wahoo KICKR: As I said before, this product is fundamentally changing the market – and I believe buying any high-end trainer between now and then would be silly if you didn’t just wait to see how the KICKR performs in real life.
Huge Spring Sale: 20% of all trainers, many power meters, and plenty more
www.dcrainmaker.com/2018/05/spring-trainers-meters.htmlIt doesn’t matter if that item is the Tacx Neo trainer, Wahoo KICKR 3 (2017) trainer, a WatTeam power meter, or Oakley aero helmets.
Garmin HRM-PRO Plus Heart Rate Strap In-Depth Review
www.dcrainmaker.com/2022/07/garmin-heart-review.htmlMeaning, that unlike a Polar H10/Verity Sense or a Wahoo TICKR X that can create a workout entirely by itself (without any app/device), the HRM-PRO Plus needs to have that workout initiated by either a Garmin watch, or recorded by a 3rd party device/app/etc… I get this probably isn’t a huge issue for most people, but it is something to be aware of.
