super new at all this stuff and wahoo wont reply or help at all. i read all topics manuals etc. i rode 1.5 hours and it says 3 miles. im not lance, but im not dead either. i went thru each setting, link button etc all over everywhere on app. no help. i have granny gears set up. my other bike showed me doing avg of 14 to 16mph. how do i fix this? it is for v2. the bike that goes up and down. newest version. all updated.
Hi, can you DM me the email you used for your support request and I can help get someone to help.

on the app the ability to see the incline is gone. cant see on any program on phone. option is gone. not there. ls put back asap. i cant read the bike screen and it goes fast. i have horrible vision. really need to see that incline display. thanks
A tip… forget about distance and incline and be happy. SYSTM is not a simulation. Distance requires a story about fictional incline (same power is more distance on -5% than +5%). Incline is arbitrary. SYSTM gives power and cadence targets. That is not enough to uniquely define a real-world incline. At least in some of the SYSTM app variants there is a virtual speed thing that will give sort of flat-ground equivalent speed (just based on power, nothing else) if you really want it, maybe to at least fill in your strava totals in some kind of stand-in way. Otherwise it uses speed sent from your trainer, which for at least some trainers is wheel speed, and is entirely meaningless.
Best is to not worry much about distance and incline. Measure your work based on power and training load (TSS)* , and to some extent characterize the type of work based on cadence (and interval structure).
* Or for long term tracking, even just use training time. On average, intensity variations from activity to activity average out anyway.

Check that your wheel size is correct in the app and that the bike’s sensors are fully charged. If it’s still off, try recalibrating the bike and unlinking/relinking the app. Your speed should be closer to your other bike’s, so something’s probably off in the settings.
Unless you’re using a dumb trainer(like cyclops fluid) calibration curve (virtual watts), anything that depends on wheel size is wrong anyway. You can do 200 watts in your 50/11 or in your 50/28. The first one will spin the wheel about 2.5 times farther than the second (with about 2.5 times less torque, for equal power), but what you are doing physically, and onscreen, doesn’t change a bit. There absolutely are distance measures within the app that do measure wheel rollout, but they are not anything like meaningful. The exception is if you’re using a speed sensor on a fluid trainer to calculate power (edit: ie “virtual watts”) and then using virtual speed (the only choice) with that.
If you have power, just enable virtual speed. It’s the simplest way, and also is about the best/most-reasonable way, and doesn’t need any wheel size:
