My Bontrager ION 200RT / Flare RT are about as old as my Trek Domane SL5. Got them both at end of April.
I struggle with the lights. Initially I did NOT use the bontrager widget thing. But seems like the stock controls were very minimal on the 830.
Now that I've used them for awhile, I am still not sure what I want, but simplicity is probably it. But maybe I'm operating this combo wrong.
I had the light setup for starting once the timer starts.
When I'm prepping for a ride, I find that none of my sensor seems to automatically connect. I do ovals on my driveway to connect my Garmin Speed and Cadence sensors.
Then I attempt to get a light network started.
Question: should sensor reconnect automatically when powering on the 830? or should they reconnect when I load an activity and I'm prepping to hit start?
Question: should I manually power on my lights before or after turning on the 830? for some reason I thought the 830 would power on the lights, but that doesnt seem to happen.
I guess I'm more of a noob with this combo. How do YOU find is the best way to use them. I think I'm up for trying something new/different. Its already frustrating to not have a clear view on battery levels for these two lights. the front had plenty of juice but the flare rt was dead.
..sigh.. thanks in advance for the help and tips
