Admin Tip : Headunit Data Screens
We were talking about lap screens last night and this gave me an idea to share what data I have on my wahoo screen.
I have a few different pages:
Default page which I use for my normal riding
Map screen which I use for following routes
Lap screen which I use for intervals
Climbing screen which I use to see any relevant climbing stats.
Maximums screen where I can some cool numbers.
I will breakdown exactly what I have and the reasons why I have some more niche ones. Most of them are obvious enough. But let me know if you have any questions!
My general default page (in order):
Average power 5sec
Active time (workout) - my total ride time
Heart rate
Current speed
Distance
Cadence
Average power
Calories
Intensity Factor
TSS
I always have it zoomed in so I am only seeing as far down as average power. I can zoom out and view the final three fields if I like - normally it’s more interesting on a longer/harder day out to get a sense of how hard it’s been in numbers. My 5 second power has its own row at the top so that stands out the most at any given time - this is my most important field so I keep it on top.
My map screen :
For training I use 5 second power and active time (workout) and sometimes I add heart rate. This is so I can keep an eye on how hard I am riding and keeping an eye on the time so I’m not forgetting about fuelling.
The rest of the screen is the map so I can see where I’m going and follow the route.
For racing I change it up. I remove power and heart rate and instead use distance and time. Time is there to stay on top of fuelling and distance is there so I can see how far to go until key sections. I will have notes on the stem about cross wind sections, potentially dangerous climbs, narrow sections where positioning needs to be dialled etc. power and heart rate are no good on race day as it only holds you back. It restricts race instinct which was one of my biggest strengths. It’s different if you’re doing massive climbs and need to keep an eye on pacing but that’s not relevant to me.
Climbing page:
Average power 5 sec
Temperature
Gradient
Current elevation
Total ascent
VAM
Cadence
Heart rate
I think that these are all of the relevant metrics to climbing so sometimes it’s nice to stick this page on especially when you are high up! Makes it seem more impressive to me. Sometimes I will have the climb profile here too if the route has been loaded. Sometimes fun to look at.
Lap page (interval page) :
Current lap active time
Average power (lap)
Average power 5 seconds
Cadence
Heart rate
These are the only relevant numbers to me when I’m doing an effort. Covers all basis!
Final page is the Maximums page:
Max power 3 second
Max heart rate
Max speed
Phone battery
Lap number
Max temperature
Min temperature
Paused time
Max elevation
Some of these are just interesting to look at from time to time. Not adding much value but it can be interesting sometimes!
