Wheel Top EDS
Wondering is HH will be adding support for the new line of Wheel Top EDS components Derailleurs and shifters? I have the new Wheel Top GeX on my gravel bike. The head unit will pair with the derailleur but shows no data.

@Jacob Wilson - So yes the WheelTop GeX will pair with the New Karoo. I have it paired and it does show the correct cog position. What threw me off is when you've paired the device and if you go to set up your gearing the Karoo will just sit there and spin at looking for device or connecting. Ignore that. Just add the gears widget to your data screen and you will be good to go, for at least whet cog your rear cassette is in. For me personally the it all I was looking for.
You also won't see any shifting data when you review your ride in the HH dashboard like you can if you have an AXS drivetrain paired. Again for me not having shifting data available in my HH dashboard is not a show stopper. With some luck all of the data will become available for the WheelTop EDS systems -
Hey, i'm also very interesting by a full integration.
I've emailed the Wheeltop support. I'm pretty sure, they can do something as the derailleur is partially recognized (strangely, it shows me a front derailleur I have not).
If Hammerhead nor Wheeltop want to do something, maybe an extension like Ki2, or ki2 itself can support it.
@Daniel, on your previous post (https://support.hammerhead.io/hc/en-us/community/posts/21412802494107/comments/34114576258075) you said that the derailleur does not use ANT+.
I think, this is wrong. If you check on the Wheeltop app on "settings", "firmware upgrade" you will see a reference to an ant+ unit

@Pierrick - You are correct. After making my initial post I discovered that the Wheeltop EDS GeX does utilize ANT+ and my HH Karoo is able to detect it. I currently have the device setup in my Gravel profile, and it does display which cog on the cassette I'm in. As you mentioned I too would like to see some additional integration similar to what my SRAM AXS provides. But for now I'm happy with what I'm able to see "in-ride".

@Daniel (Smitty) Smith, yes. However according to hammerhead this should not be the case, they say they are fully using a the ant+ protocol when connected to a bike computer, hammerhead said they are using the ant protocol.
Anyway Wheeltop has told me they are going. To aquire a hammerhead unit to figure out why it is not showing up properly
