Hi all,

I’ve been sort of expecting that I am going to hit the end of life of this unit - and noticed during my ride today it was much louder than usual.

Then noticed the sound it’s making here when moving it slowly. Thoughts?

I don’t know what is going on but send the video to wahoo. I had a noise issue out of warranty and they sorted me with a replacement unit, i didn’t have to pay anything.

One of the reasons why I think wahoo customer support is really the bomb and I would buy again just for that 👍

Thanks schmidt - I have indeed now sent it along to them. We’ll see what they say. May also try taking it apart to see if I can spot the issue.

Following.

I’ve got a Version 2 that sounds exactly the same. My current plan was to ride until it dies and then replace it.
