The Cycling Tech Brief: the cycling tech that actually matters today — and whether to update, wait, or ignore.

• Hercules Rob Fold SL: Carbon Fork Failure Risk Forces Immediate Ride Stop on Five E-Folding Bike Models — If you own any Hercules Rob Fold SL model, stop riding it today and contact your Hercules dealer for a free exchange or full refund.
• Garmin Edge 850 Firmware 32.20 Regression: Screen Flashes Black Every 6–7 Seconds During Rides — If your Edge 850 is on 32.20 and your screen is flickering, try removing all Connect IQ data fields via Garmin Express as a first step — but hold off on further map updates until Garmin issues an official fix.
• Edge 850 Wi-Fi Finally Works Properly — Firmware 31.29 Closed a Nine-Month Gap Since Launch — If you're on a pre-31.29 build, do one wired Garmin Express update to reach current firmware and your Wi-Fi sync should finally behave — but be aware of the 32.20 screen regression before going further.
• Strava Android Subscription Outage: Purchases Partially Failed for ~2 Hours on 20 August, Now Resolved — The incident is resolved — if you subscribed on Android around 20 August and features haven't returned, tap 'Restore Purchases' in the app settings.
