Wahoo Roam/Bolt & Garmin pedal Advanced Metrics
With Garmin releasing their new RS200 SPD-SL pedal, I've become interested in replacing my Stages dual with pedals.
Has anyone got the Wahoo Roam or Bolt to display Garmin's Advanced Metrics and not just basic L/R power ?
I can find mention of Pioneer Metrics compatibility, but no surprise there, they are the same company I believe.
I've also opened a Support Ticket with Wahoo.
I'd suggest more of you do the same, if currently unsupported, it may convince Wahoo to fall in line or lose bike computer market share.

Wahoo replied.
TLDR version....
"Nope - we don't support it" "but we might if Garmin lets us"
In a lapse of judgement I bothered to reply "Garmin Cycling Dynamics has been an OPEN standard since 2017" There's 30 seconds of my like I wont get back.
Just wait til Wahoo starts to lose market share for bike computers. After all given the choice between an SPD-SL PM or a speedplay PM, it's going to be SPD-SL all the way.
