The Wahoo Fitness iPhone ANT+ Bike Case Giveaway First up – thanks to all who entered, just shy of 300 folks! Holy moly! As promised, it would be pure random (though, in all honesty, I should be giving point away for many of the hilarious responses mixed in there – tons of entertainment!).

The unit it designed such that you can start or stop a ride without you having to have a phone on you, giving it a bit more freedom than some phone reliant devices (such as the Wahoo RFLKT/RFLKT+).

The 60Beat RX Heart Rate Receiver for iPhone/iPad Devices While I’ve reviewed other cell-phone based dongles in the past, the common trend amongst them has been ANT+ connectivity, such as the Wahoo ANT+ iPhone dongle.

This gave me plenty of time to toy around with the running smoothness and efficiency features of the Wahoo TICKR Run HR strap.

Bkool Announces ANT+ FE-C Software Update Available Now, plus a new budget trainer and more

www.dcrainmaker.com/2015/08/announces-software-available.html
