We deeply apologize to our valued customers for the inconvenience experienced over the past few days with the first generation ELEMNT, BOLT, and ROAM Bike Computers. We now fully understand the root cause of the issue relating to older first generation devices, which use a limited 10-bit system to track GPS time. We have been working around the clock on a fix so that users of these devices can continue enjoying riding with them again.
Given the age of these devices and the several upgrades to our product platform since, we are testing the firmware update to ensure it runs smoothly and hope to release it to users soon.
Thank you for your patience and understanding so far. Customers should keep an eye on this web page, which will be updated regularly.
