This thread has brought back memories (or nightmares) of my one and only experience with Wahoo computers, the original Wahoo Elemnt. I was an early adopter, trusted the tech and headed off on a seven-day remote bike tour. The Elemnt was, as I quickly learnt, brought to the market way too early...

I use Swiss Stop rim brake pads and have some disc pads on standby for my mechanical disc brakes on my fatbike. I have always found them to be of good quality. You beat me to the possible solution. Good news, you have that sorted. When you say to work smoothly. Can you please be more...

Take this with a grain of salt, but my understanding is that Presta valves are generally made of aluminium, whereas the Schrader valves are made of brass, as you found out.

Looking at Reddit, there does seem to be a bit of an issue with the readability of the Wahoo AMOLED screens. Which is surprising given it is meant to be better technology. That said for me, I think anything has to be better than my 1030 :) Source: DC Rainmaker I have not looked at Roam 3 in...

If you are a Reddit user, the https://www.reddit.com/r/wahoofitness/ forum can be quite helpful to maybe resolve at least some of your issues or at least confirm you are not alone with the problems :). Wahoo are doing fairly frequent firmware updates as shown at...

If anyone by any chance has a Wahoo Ace, I would appreciate it if you could provide the measurement of the Wahoo Ace mount from the centre of the mount to the centre of your bars. If you are using a non-Wahoo mount, the same measurements would be appreciated. Wahoo just says you need 70mm...

An update. Following comments received elsewhere warning about possible incompatibilities between generic kits and Magura brakes, plus still needing to purchase Magura Royal Blood, I have decided to purchase a Magura Bleed Kit for $AU69 from Bike Force Joondalup. Yes, it is syringe-based, but...

Yes, well, some of it anyway.

Have you still got your Garmin Edge 1050? DesFit on the three Wahoo options:

I haven't bothered to clean my brake pads, but do give the discs a clean with brake clean when I remember, and my bike sees a lot of dirt and mud. If you suspect the pads are glazed, you could try sanding them (80 grit paper, I think works). If you want to clean the pads, GCN makes it simple...

I do wonder about "ebike pads" as the Magura pads that come stock on Supercharger are Magura 9.C Comfort pads (front) and Magura 7.C Comfort pads for the rear. There is nothing to say about them being eBike 'approved' from what I can find. See...

The best way to track brake pad wear is by mileage. Ten months really does not mean anything. For example, my Supercharger II front pads are due for replacement (wear is down to 2.8 mm; minimum spec is 2.5 mm) after 1,450 km. That is with the OEM pads, Magura 7C pads, their 'Comfort' pads. I...

Thanks for the suggestion. Also, the reminder about the clip and bleed blokes. Both of which are missing from the Magura kits available here.

I am looking for a brake bleed kit for my Magura MT5/MT4 brakes. There is one or two sellers locally selling one of the Magura kits (two syringe type), but I like the look of the pot style kits. Plus, for the number of times I will use it, a reasonably priced alternative would be preferred. I...

I did a quick proof of concept today with two different straps, one a ratchet strap, which said not for lifting (whoops) and the black one at the rear. You just pull it tight to lock the strap. The ratchet strap was not great, but the black one was easy to use. Just pull on the strap to lift...

So I assume one needs a new bike with this motor fitted ... mmmm

I do have a pair of those, so I will give them a shot, at least as a proof of concept. My joists are too far apart for a straight up-down lift, so I will still need to put a block of wood in place to position the straps correctly (and shift the light).

Bumping this thread: My Riese and Muller Supercharger 2 came with Magura 9C pads, which Magura describe as "for riders who want control rather than bite from their brakes as well as those looking for a long-lasting product.'. I have hit 1,450 km, and the pads are close to their wear limit of...

Nice, but I suspect that would cost a little more than AU $50 :) and be over kill for my little home workshop/shed.
