Back of the magnet should have double sided tape....and a slot for a cable tie....secures it well

Yes you need one, how else will the unit detect the cadence?

Any magnet, does not matter if its a shimano, campag, sram, garmin, apple iTunes, or hardware shop magnet....

looks like its similar to the one on the trek frames

 

left magnet should be spoke magnet for speed....right one should be crank for cadence

 

spoke magnet lines up in center of "aerial" thingy (right side of sensor)

 

cadence one lines up with the "RS" writing on sensor

hardware shop magnet....

 

And a tube of glue?

thanks swiss.....

 

I forgot to mention Polar....

 

Also the stronger the better....

Double sided tape

 

But tbh bike specific cadence magnets with a nice flat surface for the tape and slot for a tyrap are safest

Hi

 

Thats a Giant ridesense sensor that fits in specific Giant frames.

 

Here is the link to the user manual.

You can find instructions there.
