According to Cyling News : Unseen Wahoo computer leaked on Reddit forum features inbuilt wind sensor and touchscreen | Cyclingnews the new ace has a wind port/ sensor… any speculation or even better knowledge on what is the plan?

Don’t want to get too far from the discussion on the Wahoo Ace, but Dropbox and RunGap are possible “Switzerlands” if you’re looking for solutions to check out. Of course they could also go belly up. I really like RunGap, but even though they integrate with tons of apps, including Wahoo, GC, Coros,…

The key question: what’s the business model for this “Switzerland of fitness data”? I’m skeptical there is one. Anything you charge will be met with harsh resistance from the majority of potential users. And most free services in this space get around 2% conversion from free to paid subscribers.

Yeah it seems like the desired features are 1) Free, 2) Not tied to any well-established profitable company, and 3) Will definitely be around forever and not disappear when its business model proves impossible.

[image] Pbase: and RunGap are possible “Switzerlands” if you’re looking for solutions to check out iOS-only, so no bueno.

Ahh. Good catch. I didn’t realize that.

Annoyingly there still are a lot of services/devices that only sync to their own server and/or steava

That feels like an issue for those services / devices to solve, or they will whither.
