cadenceblur Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 hijust fitted a cadence sensor, however i have noticed a ticking sound on each revolution. is this normal? it's a polar btw.
brad890 Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 are you sure the magnet isn't touching the sensor?
TNT1 Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) are you sure the magnet isn't touching the sensor? That's probably it. Unless you are listening to it in a very quiet place, cause then you will here hear (Damn celebration beer...) the magnet opening and closing the actuator or whatever it's called in the pick-up each time it passes. But riding on the road, you shouldn't hear that. Edited October 9, 2011 by TNT1
Zac.A Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 probably some part of the crank hitting the cadence sensor?When I put mine on there was also a clicking sound so I just got off and pushed it(crank) around a few times and I saw that because of the new magnet it was tapping my pump... Just roll it round and look for the problem.

gummibear Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 I agree with TNT on this,surely you cant hear this on the road. If it really bothers you get a ipod
gummibear Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 I just put my ear at my cadence sensor and speed magnet of my Polar 725 and i don't hear a thing.
Tiny K Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Ok, so lets narrow it down - what 'machine' are you using? Garmin, Polar, Suunto, Bryton, etc?
Zac.A Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 it's a polar btw. The OP. Ok, so lets narrow it down - what 'machine' are you using? Garmin, Polar, Suunto, Bryton, etc?
cadenceblur Posted October 9, 2011 Author Posted October 9, 2011 using a polar.went for a ride earlier and was still there!very loud.
Minion Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) Does it make the sound when you spin the cranks while off the bike or only while pedalling? Edited October 9, 2011 by Edman
gummibear Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Sorry for the hi jack @edmanWhy is your hovercraft full of awls?
Minion Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Sorry for the hi jack @edmanWhy is your hovercraft full of awls?Oops, slight misspelling there. It should be full of eels. I found them in a dodgy Hungarian phrase book.
