That looks great, cheers! Let’s hope they will post to the UK!
@hpsims It makes me shake my head how things are going in reverse on grade/elevation with different companies. The Garmin 1040 is also having grade woes, specifically it is hugely delayed on displaying the grade. It’s essentially showing you the past.
My 1040 has been super reliable so far, except that one time …
Hooray for defying physics and gravity, maybe? This was on the MC Escher trail, incidentally.

The “realtime” grade display is what I’m referring to. I’ve experienced it being lagged quite a bit, as have others. I’ll be on flat and it’ll say the current grade is 10% for another 20-30 seconds.
Sorry, that was maybe a little deadpan. The screenshot shows “Grade Remain: 165%” when I was at the top of a small hill.
I know, I meant aside from that obvious silliness. 
Check Amazon UK…i order mine through Amazon here, not directly from them.
yeah I did, nothing on there! Found a store saying they are the official UK reseller asking USD 40 for one pair (& thats an August special vs usual price of USD 45)!!
Ooof…that is pretty pricey. 
Any recent user experiences with the Karoo?
I’m thinking of swapping my Wahoo Bolt for one as it has a bigger screen and my aging eyes can’t keep up.
I would recommend seeing one in person, I switched for that very reason, and in this case the bigger screen didn’t make the words any larger. I like the K2 but I generally struggle still to make out the words on the screen, and you can’t make them larger.

Stick Tites are your friend here…

Sounds like a loop you can’t navigate out of until the psychedelics wear off. Good thing your head unit battery is good for 8+ hours.

Those look intriguing!
Been a game changer for me….I can now see everything on my screens.
I have even started using them on my everyday sunglasses, not just my bike glasses.
Same situation with my eyes too. I used a Garmin 1030 previously, but the dark grey on a light grey screen was a challenge for me despite the quite large screen. I found the extra contrast of a white on black helped with my ability to read what was on the screen.
Small text is still a challenge and lots of these can’t be adjusted (e.g. notifications, menus and directions) so I still need help from my glasses. Stick tites are OK, certainly an improvement on nothing, but I don’t find them to be super clear (I usually get bubbles or some dust under the lens and that blurs things a bit)
Is it possible to load a route on the HH2, turn off the device, and have the route still loaded (but not having started the activity) when you turn it back on? I’ve tried and failed. I’m able to do this on my Edge 830. Use case is triathlon where you’d want to just turn on the device at T1 and have everything ready to go.

Hi all, so having given this some thought, I think I’ll be getting a Wahoo Roam v2.
I like the Wahoo interface and from comments above, it seems that the HHK doesn’t solve the aging MAMIL changing vision.

Karoo 2 going on sale now, i am so fed up with Garmin and wondering if it is now the time to go Hammerhead. Any updated experiences?

The deal isn’t as good as it was in the summer and now we’re even closer to a theoretical Karoo 3. What Garmin are you having issues with? 840 has been pretty solid for me. I’ll probably get a new Karoo once it comes out to give it a shot though.
