So easy to sync up with my module. Took a small adjustment on my crank arm for the cadence sensor as it rubbed on my shoe but with the variety of attachments, it was an easy adjustment and no issues.
I bought the speed sensor to see how fast i was on a second bike. The cadence sensor measures my peddle speed against my actual speed 20 mph and im at 92 cadence
The Garmin speed and cadence sensor were easy to install and Pair with the monitor. The monitor that I have is made by Bryton And easily connected to the sensors via ant and Bluetooth technology. Bicycle tires direct offered the most competitive price for these monitors and the shipping was timely and seamless.
Both my wife and I have these to connect to our Garmin 520+ computers. They are easy to mount on a wheel and the cranks, and it is easy to adjust the location if you find yourself hitting the cadence sensor with your stroke.
These are great for trainer use, giving you interesting data when you have to ride in place. Meanwhile, if you have to load your bike for a drive for a ride, the speed sensor is a bother. It will register each walk from house to car as a ride, and post that amazing data to strava. Took it off after getting kudos on one too many .39 mile rides.
These work well, but I didn't ask for clunky-looking items to mount on my crank arms and hubs. Why did Garmin discontinue the dual sensor that mounted neatly on the chain stay. Probably because all of those that I owned eventually failed. All they needed to do was update the housing and seal it better.
This combo was really easy to set up and use. The only issue was the mounting system for the speed sensor. The bands aren't long enough to accommodate an internally geared hub but I was able to add an additional band I had. Using it on my recumbent on an older trainer to add some stats for motivation. Easy to pair with my phone and Garmin vivoactive 3 watch once you get the hang of it.
I never used cadence before, that was really good know. The speed sensor is not necessary if GPS working well but it can help when things are fuzzy on GPS. It really is nice for use on the trainer and that is probably the best thing for me about the Garmin
Just ordered my second set of Garmin Bike Speed Sensor and Cadence Sensor Bundle for another bike. While these sensors are fairly easy to transfer among bikes, Their price is right for me to have simply purchased a second set. These new sensors work like a champ and have a much lower profile than the original Garmin Speed/Cadence sensors. Highly-recommend!
Instructions to install and set up the sensors were easy to understand. Paired sensor to my Garmin 235 watch. Speed and cadence sensors calibrated automatically while riding. Sensors allow for additional statistics to be added to your Garmin connect. Works very well. I recommend adding these sensors to your bike.
These sensors are better than the first models. Easy set up and pairing. So far the battery had lasted a cycling year (winter excluded). Installing the battery takes time like everything else. Both a second pair.
Speed is on the front wheel hub and the cadence is on the left pedal crank. They are easy to assemble and place on the bike.
These sensors are on all of my bikes now replacing the old type which had magnets on spokes and crankarm. They work great right out of the box.
When you need to change the battery in the speed sensor, be careful to not bend any contacts or remove ANYTHING other than the actual battery.
This is the second set I've bought. I have them on both road bikes and have given them names to help identify the bike I was riding later. Pretty easy to pair, it took a few minutes to figure out how to set a custom wheel diameter. Works great and helps keep the GPS honest.
If you have a bike computer that is a Garmin or Ant+ these are must have items. I needed the speed sensor, and wasn't 100% sure about the cadence sensor but bought it anyway. Itt was a great purchase. Both devices have improved my riding by giving accurate feedback. They are very simple to connect to the bike computer, I even purchased a second set to use on my MTB so i get the same data no matter which bike i'm riding (road or MTB)
I installed the new speed sensors on my new carbon wheel set. It is a much safer and easier installation from the older style sensor, which actually damaged my carbon rim. It installs very easily as well.
I�m gradually winding my way into the new century with my first wireless Garmin setup, and I�ve been accumulating various widgets to that end. I have these paired to a little Garmin Edge 25 and it works fine. I also have a Varia 2 in the mix and it all works. The only caveat is that I have to start riding before I turn on the Head unit and it then recognizes all 3 devices.
i love my sensors! everything easily sync'd with my garmin 530 edge and with zwift, so now i have great data about my cycling performance. i try not to focus on my stats too hard, but it is really interesting to see your performance changes throughout a season. i set this up by myself in less than 15 minutes before an early morning group ride... so i'd say it's pretty easy.
Using the Speed and Cadence sensors with my Garmin Vivoactive 4. Works as intended and gives accurate numbers compared to my previous Cat-eye sensors. One of my straps for the cadence sensor tore after a few rides, may be due to my shoes rubbing against it.
Super easy to install and connects just fine to my wahoo. Syncs to training peaks and strava just fine. Have used on some technical trails on my gravel bike and keeps on going like the energizer bunny. Definitely recommend!
