Wahoo: Fix now available
On August 23, Wahoo released a fix for the GPS bug affecting first-generation ELEMNT, BOLT, and ROAM bike computers. That’s the good news. The bad news is that this only works on ROAM 1 and BOLT 1, and rides made after the fix is applied; everything from August 17 to that day will potentially remain inaccurate and misplaced, as will rides made on the original ELEMNT.
What to look for
Update your firmware as usual and check that you get these versions. Then you are good to ride today:
- BOLT 1 – WB17 – 17055
- ROAM 1 – WR24 – 17055
- Original ELEMNT due approx Monday/Tuesday
Take Out
It seems that Wahoo found a quick way to fix the bug.
The longer route to re-aligning, re-dating, stamping, and maybe fixing older workouts will be more challenging.

I have installed WB17-17055, but it is still giving the wrong date on my Bolt V1.
you’ll need to get a gps lock first
Found that if a ran the setup after checking for update I was able to set correct date and time,
