Bolt v3 - today’s ride not uploading. Trying to figure out if it’s an issue affecting more than just my Wahoo unit. Know sometimes they have technical issues.
Haven’t changed any settings etc.
Update: managed to get it working about an hour after posting this (UK)
Is anybody experiencing issues with the Wahoo mobile app?
I completed my ride, saved it but it took like 30 mins to appear in the app, it didn’t automatically share on Strava as usual and now the wahoo home keeps refreshing with no updates.
I just bought a roam 3 and went on a ride this morning but I can’t seem to sync my ride to the Wahoo app to sync with Strava. I am doing something wrong? I’m reading that there’s an issue with Wahoo this morning.
Some kind of outage and unable to upload ride, since device or download data. The message "Sorry something went wrong. But you are going to be ok!" Seems unnecessarily patronizing especially when they have been having problems with sharing to strava for months that they haven't been able to resolve. Yet one more reason to go with garmin when it's time to get a new computer.
I recently tried to fix a simple issue: a street near me was renamed and updated in OpenStreetMap… years ago. I used Wahoo Maps Creator (a great stab by a community member on an Open Source tool) and it works…kind of.
My ELEMNT ROAM v2? Still shows the old street name (both when scrolling the map and when using turn by turn directions).
After digging into it, here’s the reality:
- Wahoo maps can lag OSM by years, not months
- Even if you generate custom maps, you can’t fully update routing + street names
- There is no supported way to rebuild the complete map data Wahoo devices actually use
So we’re stuck waiting for Wahoo to eventually push an update… whenever that happens.

## The frustrating part
Wahoo already uses OpenStreetMap.
The data is there.
The updates are there.
We just can’t access the pipeline that turns it into usable maps on our devices.
---
\## What we should be asking for
An official Wahoo tool or workflow to:
- Generate complete, device-ready maps from OSM
- Include:
- map tiles
- routing data
- street names / indexing
- Allow updates on demand, not on Wahoo’s schedule
---
## Why this matters
- OSM updates happen daily
- Local changes (new roads, renamed streets, roundabouts) matter
- Waiting years for updates in 2026 is… kind of absurd

## If you want this too (takes 2 minutes)
Submit a request here:

## Suggested message (copy/paste or tweak)
> I would like Wahoo to provide an official way to generate complete map updates from OpenStreetMap data on demand.
>
> Currently, map data on devices can lag OSM updates by years, and there is no supported way for users to regenerate routing and street name data themselves.
>
> Providing a map generation utility (including tiles, routing, and indexing) would significantly improve map accuracy and user experience.

## Bottom line
Right now:
- OSM = constantly improving
- Wahoo maps = sometimes years behind
We shouldn’t have to wait years for something that already exists upstream.
If enough of us ask, this becomes a product decision instead of a niche complaint.

If outdated maps have ever annoyed you, it’s worth sending.
Hey everyone, quick question — has anyone run into this issue with the Wahoo ELEMNT Bolt v3?
My activity from today won’t upload, and in the history it just shows some kind of error / stuck state (screenshot attached). I’ve already tried:
- restarting the phone
- unpairing and pairing the device again
Still no luck… nothing helps.
Any ideas what might be causing this or how to fix it?
I bought the Roam in 2019.
Until this year, I had 0 issues.
And this spring, it started acting up.
Doesn’t want to stay turned on, powers itself off just after couple of minutes even if battery fully charged and confirmed charged.
Sometimes dies just after „warming up“.
Did a hard reset, did factory reset.
If I leave it on the charger, I have a better chance of it staying up. Didn’t try biking with connected charger though.
I am quite pissed because it cost an arm and a leg, yet I drove it merely once in the rain, I usually only bike when the weather is nice.
Anything known? Anything I can do? Or is it time for a new one… which REALLY is pushing me away from the brand and making me look somewhere else for alternatives.
None of the cables would even detect the device. I'm pretty sure at least two of them can transfer data.
I have turned on data transfer option on Wahoo App
Hey guys,
I’m trying to manually download a .FIT file from my Wahoo Bolt v3, but I’ve hit a wall.
The device is not being recognized as a USB drive on any computer, even though USB mode is enabled in settings. I’ve already tried:
MacBook (macOS)
Windows PC
Different cables
Nothing shows up when I plug it in.
hey guys i am getting this used wahoo for 150 euros on kleinanzeigen app and wanted to know if its a good deal, its a pickup only offer so not an online scam though
but I wanted to know if its still worth buying it now it in mid 2026
its 2 years old with bill and when asked about battery life he replied
“ One week of commuting and the weekend trip were covered on a single charge”
Trying to upload a ride to strava in the history tab. Ive tried restarting the app, restarting my phone, deauthorizing and reauthorizing strava connection, elemnt off/elemnt on. nothing works. Does anyone know how to fix this problem.
Oh yeah, tried to transfer the fit. file via usb to my pc, but apparently that feature has been discontinued even though it is advertised within the app.
Has anyone seen this? It used to have the date as Jan, Feb, Mar, etc now it just has MO1, MO2 etc.
Just did a firmware update so that could be it, but anyone else seeing this. Functionally it’s as perfect as usual, just this weird quirk.
Hey everyone,
I’ve been struggling with this issue for a while now and can’t find a fix. Hope someone here has experienced the same.
Setup:
• Quarq SRAM Force Powermeter (brand new)
• Wahoo Elemnt Bolt v2
Problem:
The powermeter is paired via ANT+ on the Bolt v2, shows full signal strength and status “Connected”. Cadence (RPM) is transmitted correctly. But power output is stuck at 0W the entire time, no matter how hard I pedal.
What I’ve already tried:
• Removed and re-paired the sensor on the Bolt v2
• Zero-Offset calibration directly on the Bolt v2 → works without issues
• Fully closed the SRAM AXS App to rule out a double connection via Bluetooth
• Restarted both the powermeter and the Bolt v2 multiple times
• Tested the powermeter with the SRAM AXS App → power values are displayed perfectly there
So the powermeter itself seems to be working fine. The issue is specifically with the Wahoo Bolt v2 not receiving/displaying the power data over ANT+, even though cadence comes through without problems.
Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas what could cause the torque signal to not come through over ANT+ while cadence does? Could it be a pairing profile issue?
Thanks in advance!
Hi, I can’t find the settings page in the wahoo app. I’m trying to update my heart rate zone settings to use my wahoo trackr heart rate monitor but what I’m seeing in the app looks completely different to what it looks like on the support page of wahoo’s website (see photos). I’m also unable to find my ‘athlete profile’. There is no settings cog anywhere on the home page. I’ve tried using the chat feature on the support page of wahoo’s website but the link doesn’t work either. I don’t know if I’m missing something really obvious here, I feel like I’m going crazy haha. Also my wahoo app has the most recent update.
I was wondering if someone was in my shoes or similar situation.
I have a single bike I use it for weekend or warm day rides outside.
I want to just remove the rear wheel slap it on a trainer and just cycle on cold days.
I don't want to purchase a similar or exact same cassette as the one I'm running to be plug n play or buy two matching cassettes to have wheel and kickr match.
The zwift virtual shifting controls and single rear cog got me thinking I can just remove my wheel slap my bike on this and change resistance from controls and not have to mess with physical shifting / cassettes / shifter adjustments.
Is this true with this item? Or will I need to be locked in to a subscription and app etc that I don't need just to use the "virtual shifting" and will I just be left with single resistance and worthless shift controller without using the app and trainer subscription?
i’m very confused and frustrated about this. No matter what I do to activate these additional pages for my indoor cycling profile I cannot get the device to show more than lap data map, and the generic workout page.
It seems like these additional heart rate and powers zone pages are inaccessible on the device, they do not show up.
when I toggle them, it looks like the device is trying to update, but the pages will not appear in the scroll options.
EDIT: the additional “dot” in the screen above is for the route page, which I know does not correspond with my toggles and the screenshot. Of course, this map shows up no problem, which is useless indoors.
Hey everyone,
I just recently bought my Kickr core 2 with the cog and clickers. After my third or fourth ride, I noticed that I was feeling like I was tipping towards my right. I’ve tried to google and see what is up but I can’t get a good answer.
Please take a look at my setup and give me any pointers, at this point I can’t tell if it’s my cockpit setup or the way I have the trainer installed.
Any help is appreciated!
(Also let’s be friends on Strava if you want)
Using a Kickr and a Bolt to run workouts from Predictive Fitness and the power reading is jumping around a bit.
Zwift and Trainer road feel easier to follow as the Kickr seemed to be capped at a power output.
I did a spin down yesterday and that workout ran more as I expected. I shouldn't need to spindown every time though?
Video shows the power jumping a bit despite the same cadence and HR.
Is there anything different I can use to improve this?
Hi, does anyone have any experience connecting up a Felt IA3 tribike to the Kickr Core 2. I can’t seem to do it for the life of me and I’m not sure if I need to buy some thru axel adapters. It’s the one with a cog if that makes a difference.
Thanks
Hello the qr adapater broke on my Kickr Core 1 this version is made of the steel the version from the Core 2 is made from aluminium…
Any Idee why this happens
