The Garmin bike cadence sensor is designed to wirelessly measure pedal strokes per minute (cadence). I was intrigued by this measurement as a way to better keep a constant cycling cadence throughout my bike rides. I do like to analyse as much data as possible after my rides, as a way to track my performance and any areas for improvement. Unfortunately, power sensors are still very costly, but with the cadence sensor available for under £30, decided it would be a great addition for data analysis.Included in the box is the cadence sensor, two sizes of rubber straps and a manual. As with most Garmin accessories, the sensor ships in a small sized box, with the sensor neatly wrapped securely inside.With no magnets,

Excellent product. I have 3 of these - 1 on my mountain bike, one on my winter training bike and another on my spinning bike. These are all paired with my Edge 520+ and my Fenix 5x. They work superbly and well worth the investment if you start tracking cadence and riding to it: I achieved both an increase in leg strength and speed by riding to cadence and simply going up a gear as soon as I hit 90rpm and down as soon as I hit 80rpm. It stops me “over-revving”, in car terms, effectively.Super easy to install with lots of cadence specific data fields you can download too. I’ve set up my devices to alert at the high and low rpm thresholds and that helps keep me in my rpm sweet spot.This is a really useful training tool that gives high returns for a low investment.

Very small- smaller than expected, largely fits within the indentation on the back of the crank arm.Very simple to install, if a bit fiddly. You hook the rubber band around the crank arm and the notches on the sensor.Try to use as tight a band as possible (three size in pack). At first I used the largest, but thought it may be more secure with the medium and managed to get the medium stretched over the arm but quite tough to push on. Very secure now though.No set up required. Simply rotating the crank arm triggers the accelerometer which wakes it up (may take a few seconds).Paired with my Garmin Forerunner 235 without having to do anything.Very interesting to now capture the cadence which averaged 85 on my last 30 mile ride with an average speed of 17.2.

Bought this to attach to my new road bike to help me keep within the recommened cadance brackets.I have the old version attached to my winter bike and this is far easier to attach. You simply use the provided rubber bands (there are 3 sizes to make sure that you can find one suitable for you), to go round the crank arm (on the non chain drive side!) and secure the sensor in place. Given the ease of attachment, it would be easy to swap between bikes (unlike the old version which uses cable ties).The reson I cant give this 5 stars is that Ive found the sensor to be a bit jumpy at times, going from 0 to 90 then back again for no apparent reason.

It was quick and easy to pair this cadence sensor with my Garmin Edge 25. It was simple to attach to the bike too, since you get different lengths of rubber straps - I needed the large ones for my Shimano 105 crank.It does spoil the aesthetics a bit because of the rubber straps around the outside of the crank, but the device itself is not that noticeable on the inside.I had one occasion where the Edge was not picking up the sensor. I think this was probably because I had previously allowed my Edge to drain its battery completely and it just hadn't reset properly after I recharged it. I found that just switching off the Edge for 10 seconds and then turning it back on made it pick up the cadence

Im thrilled to be using this sensor after having gone through 3 units of the gladly defunct GSC10. The new unit uses accelerometers and as such does not require any magnet or any cumbersome widget. All this simplifies change of bike as the holder is silicone attachment. In terms of data stream, Garmin kept the ANT+ protocol, the data are captured by the edge and so far I have not had any issues, I hope it well stay that way but until then I am more happy this is a great product.

The new style of cadence sensor is far better than the previous combination type. It is very easy to fit, no fiddly magnets to lose or things to align, simple and effective. Only downside is the price of 2 separate cadence and speed sensors are more than the previous combined unit but does give flexibility of not using or buying a speed sensor if you just want to use GPS for Speed instead and the cadence sensor on its own is cheaper than the combined unit.

Works well on a bike up to at least 200/min (on a static gym bike I hasten to add).It hasn't fallen off yet, and I haven't been able to break the silicone "elastic bands" so far even stretching them quite hard round the really thick cranks of a gym bike.I was hoping that being a accellerometer rather than detecting a fixed magnet like the old one did it might work on my foot or shoe when running, but it doesn't.

Excellent item, works as advertised. It took about 5 minutes to install the unit on the bike. Then 1-2 minutes to pair it with my Fenix 3 HR. By the way, it does work with Fenix 3 HR (as expected) but this information is not mentioned on the site.Then I had the chance to compare the readings with my other cadence sensor (SIGMA). They perfectly agree with each other.I recommend this sensor to everyone.

Bought it as a sensor for my new bike so I have one on both my bikes. On my previous sensor, the rubber bands holding the sensor to my pedal shaft snapped so I ended up securing it with cable ties, making it a pain to swap between bikes, hence buying a second one. I have used a cable tie to secure this one also as I don't want to lose it if/when the rubber bands snap. Pairs well with my Garmin Edge 500.

I have this product for almost 3 years now, changed the battery after 2 years and and used it for more than 4000km, I don't keep track of the accuracy but it gives me data, it syncs very fast and I had no problems with it sync with 3 or 4 devices, easy to install, no problems with the bands, I still have the originals. I hope for more 4000km to come with this toy linked to my pedal

First time linking with my GPS took a few minutes but ever since it's linked seamlessly with my Garmin 810 GPS - done about 20 rides now and never failed to register on my carbon frame, installation took seconds, construction is extremely light and I've had no problems with snagging on my shoes or frame. No idea about battery life at this stage: I guess time will tell.

Pricey but works like a charm. Added to recumbent bike. I bought a cheaper version before which was ok twice then useless. The Garmin is pricey but you get what you pay for. I use with my Garmin vivoactive 3 (indoor cycling) in H I I T mode (free v3 add-on). It suncs straight away after the initial set-up so is, in my opinion, good.

Does the job. Was easy to install on my crank arm and paired with my Garmin edge 25 easily.I found the cadence readout very useful in my riding, it helps you to maintain a steady rotation rate regardless of which gear you're in and acts as a handy reminder of when to change up or down and when you're just not trying hard enough.

...the only problem is that the rubber bands don't last long. They fit on the crank, and my foot rubs against the rubber band, fraying it and leading to failure. I assume this is why you are supposed to attach it with two bands.My solution - black gaffer tape wrapped around the crank to protect the bands.
