So we are only allowed to write comments when something looks good? Not allowed to dislike?

Maybe in your world mate.
I'm just calling things how they are

Quote from: Mariuszuzd on October 21, 2026, 02:27:12 AMHi everyone, I just wanted to share a quick update of my new Tagoola PULSE RP50UL, ordered directly from website, got them on 13th of August for my new R8-RS Avenger. Now we have middle of October, those very used intensively so I can say some words.

Package was delivered very quickly to Poland, EU, just after around 10 days, so very fast! No damages, new box, all fine! Inside the box you have two tubeless valves, a wheel tension report sheet with overall information about the wheels. The tape was already on the wheel, all packed very good!

The first impressions are very good, here you have my unboxing video,very solid, very light, clean, no imperfections.

Specs are as follows, 50 mm depth, 23 mm internal, 30.5 mm external, Aero34 spokes, 20/20, around 1160 g, without valves.

I put Pirelli P zero Race RS on them, I made a mistake and I bought the standard version, my bad! However, I'm still riding on them with some TPU tubes and no issues! I put a sealant in them  NO issues during installation of tires and the cassette.

In general my feelings are very positive, the wheels are lighter than my previous Tagoola Aeroraptor 65, very stiff, fast and I'm very satisfied. I used them on Race, I was 5th open and 3rd in the Category at Gran Fondo Warszawa, so not bad. I have to test them in the mountains but I love the new logo, and that those are also a bit wider! Below I will add some youtube and a google photos album, maybe someone want to have a look.

Lol what a Frankenstein. This got to be one of the worst looking bikes I've seen.

Check the pinned comment on the YT video "Update: Test ride 2 done and the numbers are looking lots better. 2 x15 min threshold (340w) and was about 1.2% off my Magene pedals. Maybe it really did just need breaking in properly!"

Maybe thinkRider rep contacted him which fixed the numbers 😁

Yeah I was talking about riser bara in general, but gotta admit the one from winspace lead the charge in ugliness

God damn those risers bars are ugly, spacers make it even worse.

Looks like this will not bode well to the likes of Serge_K and some few members here.

Me included

It's shit. What a surprise.

What you deem as a positive i feel as a negative for the wahoo collection.
if you dont care for variability its fine, but some people like positive changes and the possibility to chose what fits best.

You still get extra features with bigger sizes but core stays the same,screens are good in every unit. With igpsport it's a mess, you got 4 new computers with different screens and 3 different iclimbs. It's a mess. Every each of them should have same core options available. As I said binavi air would be great if it had newest iclimb and a good screen. But unfortunately screen is washed and dark.

Their lineup is a mess. All kind of different screens and each computer has different features but none has all what's necessary. 3 different models and 3 different iclimb levels. Binavi would be great but it has crap screen and lower level of iclimb.This is stupid and one big mess. That's why wahoo has a great collection, their all computers have basically same options just the screen size differs.

LMAO this is next level stupidity. And those guys want us to believe they are able to make a reliable PM? 🤣

Cool story bro

I'm in a similar situation. I'm 179 cm tall, with an inseam of 86 cm. But I definitely lean towards a size M, as the top tube is quite long and I don't want the bike to look too elongated.

Definitely size M for you. I'm 187cm with 87cm inseam and I could ride M or L. With gravel bikes it's important not onto look at the stack but also HTA. With a classic -7 stem stack+ will be higher with slacker gravel headtube angle.

I would rally like to see 11,12,13,14,15,17,19,21,24,28,32,38,44,50

I bought and installed a second PM500 on another bike one or two months ago.
As I've read a few reports of unsatisfactory results, I wanted to test my second unit to verify if it was as accurate as my first one.

For the first test, I had not calibrated the unit for several weeks as I was curious to see how it would falsify the data or not in light of my recent experience testing the Nexga S1.
The lack of calibration did introduce an error of ~5%.
Calibrating the unit is really simple, just spin the crank backwards for 5 turns, no need to go through menus. While I probably won't calibrate mine every time I use it, I'll certainly do it more often, at least once a week.

I'm not inserting the images of this test directly here as it's not the relevant test, but if you want to see how the results look like, here is the complete test result https://i.imgur.com/SX5deIi.jpeg and here are the details after the last sprint https://i.imgur.com/p6R4soH.jpeg.

After calibration, my second PM500 is spot on when compared to my Tacx Neo 2T.

Complete test (after calibration)


Details of the second sprint (only 850W but the Magene/Geoid power meters stay accurate after harder efforts, so I'm not concerned)



Very happy with the results with both of my PM500.
Again, I wish for a lighter crank option with 24mm spindle, or better yet, a non proprietary interface.

Note that I may not have calibrated my first PM500 before testing it earlier this year. I'll test it again with a fresh calibration at some point.

Recently when I talked with Gemini AI it told me that during comparison the spider power meter should read slightly higher (roughly 2% to 3%) than a direct-drive smart trainer because the spider measures power before friction losses in the chain, cassette and trainer.

Damn this bike is ugly. That headtube looks horrific
