I've stocked the RP-001 WAHOO.

↑This base plate is for GARMIN, but

you can convert it like this for WAHOO use.
Note that the slot orientation is 90° different from GARMIN.
Demand for this has been surging recently, but
what's being converted from GARMIN is mainly not WAHOO but rather

Pioneer's SGX-CA600.

From the side it looks like this.
The SGX-CA600 is a WAHOO cycle computer—
a dedicated model based on the Element with pedaling monitor functionality added.
By the way, Element is spelled ELEMNT, not ELEMENT.
They may have been trying to assert that it's a proper noun, not a common noun.

K-EDGE has also released a mount for WAHOO.
The image above is from a Japanese distributor's website, but
the manufacturer's site calls it "Wahoo ELEMNT Mount,"
while the distributor calls it "WAHOO ELEMENT PRO Mount"

The installation example on the manufacturer's site is this image, but

kedge01amx9.jpg
the installation example from the distributor is this image.
Since searching for this image only pulls up Japanese sites,
it seems the distributor photographed it themselves, but
the cycle computer is mounted upside down.
I'm sure the folks there are reading this, so if you have time,
please fix it along with the spelling of Element.
If this wasn't photographed by the distributor, or even if it was,
swapping it out for the manufacturer's image might be quicker and easier.

On a different note, Pioneer's pedaling monitor
runs promotional campaigns pretty frequently.
The most recent one ran from December 25th last year through March 11th of this year.

During the campaign period, installing the pedaling monitor comes with
some kind of benefit, but
when a later campaign offers a bigger benefit than
an earlier one, it supposedly bothers people who bought during the previous campaign, so
"When you install the pedaling monitor on your crank,
the SGX-CA500 (¥29,800 pre-tax) essentially comes free"
was a campaign, and the next campaign's benefit was
"When you install the pedaling monitor on your crank,
the SGX-CA500 (¥29,800 pre-tax) can be purchased for around ¥6,000"
so the content was somewhat scaled back.
That said, the sensors affixed to the cranks also
differ by model number—900 series, 910 series, 930 series (current)—so
direct comparison might not be possible.

In the most recent campaign,
"The pedaling monitor (¥129,600 pre-tax list price) and
SGX-CA600 (¥36,800 pre-tax list price)
normally total ¥166,400 pre-tax, but with
WAHOO's armband heart rate sensor TICKR FIT and
the hub speed sensor RPM Speed Sensor included,
the list price becomes ¥163,000 pre-tax."
In essence, you get the heart rate sensor and speed sensor for free.

↑That's the one. Wow, that's great!
For reference, the TICKR FIT has a ¥9,299 pre-tax list price, and
the RPM Speed Sensor has a ¥5,250 pre-tax list price.

I don't know the reason, but
this two-piece set apparently shows up on Yahoo Auctions and Mercari a lot lately.

Indeed, many people probably already own heart rate sensors or speed sensors,
and for the heart rate sensor in particular,
most would prefer a chest belt over an armband.
(The speed sensor in the image above is from a manufacturer called NIWA9)

Ugh, no good—I can't write any further for political reasons.
I'll have the kind words of consideration close this out.

If you don't need it, just sell it at auction.
While the campaign crank shipment period has ended,
there are probably still people waiting for their cranks back after work completion.

(Scheduled to be completed by March 29th)
If you have no plans to use it, absolutely do not open it.
Sell it unused and unopened.


Oh... how blessed, how blessed.
