The Cycling Tech Brief: the cycling tech that actually matters today — and whether to update, wait, or ignore.
Karoo hotfix 1.661.2545 targets mid-ride GPS signal loss introduced by 1.658.2535 — Install 1.661.2545 now — it is the official fix — but watch your first ride or two for any GPS loss and report back to Hammerhead support if it recurs.
Zwift Play firmware 2.0.1 rollout officially resumed — iOS users must update Companion first — iOS users: update Companion to 3.89.2 or newer first, then proceed with Play firmware 2.0.1 — the rollout is now live and safe for most.
Garmin Edge 830 GPS firmware loop: a recurring boot-failure pattern, no official fix confirmed — Monitor — if your 830 is currently working, keep the battery topped up and avoid full drain; if already in the loop, try the USB folder-deletion workaround and contact Garmin support.
Zwift 1.123 succeeds 1.122 with FIT file and Bluetooth fixes — resistance bug from 1.122 lingers — Monitor — 1.123 is the current version and includes important fixes, but if you train with structured resistance workouts, watch for the control unreliability and report it to Zwift if it recurs.
Strava's $79.99/year price draws fresh scrutiny — but no new pricing change has occurred — No action required — pricing is unchanged; evaluate whether the social and segment features you actually use justify $79.99/year versus your device's own companion app.
