BoCo represent! 🙌

Thanks!

I used to use karoo 2 and switched to 840 recently and to be honest besides Battery life, karoo is way better to set up, to navigate, workouts are clearer and i prefer the data screens (but i guess that is personal). These are all features i use But having a battery which you don‘t have to think about is very important to me. as my battery on the karoo died twice on me. To be fair on very long 12 h rides. Still this is a very important part of a device that is supposed to bring you from a to b. I even used it on di2 with ki2 (amazingly implemented even prefer this to garmins real di2 integration) and i had a sim card installed which probably makes it feel a lot like the smartphone integration now. But i guess i am stuck to garmin as long as the battery is not on par. And since the garmin screen looks horrible compared, i have started to look around more and less on my power numbers : )

It will be interesting to see how it plays out compared to it's closely priced competitors 🤔 Thanks Matt!

Thanks so much!

Definitely hard to beat that price!

Strange, my K2 is good for min. 12 hrs with no sensor used and 75% Display. Maybe your device has a defect with the battery!?

Isn't this a hardware limitation? Still riding my karoo 1. It's also missing some of the karoo 2 functionalities

@@TiZon220 I don't buy the hardware limitation. The Karoo is based on Android and is very capable. I've sideloaded music apps and more. If a simple Wahoo or Garmin can figure it out, they can make the app work for older units.

I think backwards support is hardware related;

From comments I have seen on Facebook, the new app will connect with the K2 and upload rides from it, but that’s the only functionality with the older model.

More fps - more battery consumption

The 130 is a great device but it's hard to compare battery life between devices which have completely different display types as well as substantially different feature sets. Using Android is just a means to have a base OS but doesn't mean it's just a repurposed smartphone. While the battery life may not be what you can get from a high end Garmin, the navigation capabilities are very comparable and quite competitive!

Android requires no outside signal to function. This computer works with or without a “signal”

@@DesFit Ok thanks, The Android thing put me off a bit. Thanks for explaining. Some of my cycle buddies though the same thing. Which is why none of us have gone for one of these.

Android just provides a base operating system so it can be used for many applications with or without cell/wifi signals. In fact, the primary signals this device would use are GPS and Bluetooth, just like every other bike computer on the market.

It's all Shimano's fault, not Hammerhead. Shimano refuses to support their wireless transmission to a Sram unit :)

Doesnt change the fact its not compatible, whoever’s fault it is

Sorry, Garmin gears?

@@DesFit DI2?

That’s Shimano but yes, it’s a limitation

@@DesFit yeap, I meant:... SHIMANO ;-)
