BassoBoy Posted March 21, 2022 Share Hi On Saturday I switched on my bolt for the second time after CTCT last week and went out riding. It went off about 10 minutes in and I was left abit confused because I had about 70% charge on it before I left home. Tried force rebooting.and their other troubleshooting options with no luck. I can only assume it was water damage from last week because some guy I spoke to on Chappies yesterday also said his packed in also after last week(though with an IPX-7 rating last week should have been a walk in the park). Anybody else having the same issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselnDust Posted March 21, 2022 Share The distributor participates in this forum so hopefully they will chime in soon enough. Best bet is to send it in for warranty. Water damage or failed battery should not occur within the time period that unit has been in the marketplaceĀ ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would die of old age after 5-6 years. Then they broughtout the new soft disposable strap. what a POS. mecheng89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 2 unresponsive/problematicWahoo heart straps. My old Polars used to go 10 years plus. In my opinion Wahoo = poor quality compromise. Rather buy Garmin or Polar. mecheng89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said before my older Polar straps lasted longer than their usefulness ie 10 yesrs and more. Yes different tech but at the end of the day they are both coded radio transmitters..

BassoBoy Posted March 22, 2022 Share Yea so I am way outside of the one year warranty so wahoo came back with a polite "not my problem" and ikhambi says my only option is to send it to the states to get repairedš 20 hours ago, DieselnDust said: The distributor participates in this forum so hopefully they will chime in soon enough.
