Pulse Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) http://cdn.pm1001.com/users/assets/115/images/speed_sensor.pngSpeed and Cadence sensors Garmin's latest Speed and Cadence sensors are designed to work individually or together, and without any magnets to line up or a shared communication house, installation is as quick and simple as possible. Users have the option to utilize both the Speed and Cadence, or install only 1 of the accessories, if desired. Cadence is measured using an Accelerometer in the sensor, which communicates directly from the pedal to compatible Garmin products, and the self-calibrating Speed sensor, which uses Magnetometers, mounts directly onto the bikes hub and communicated directly to the Garmin device.

Spinnekop Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 DC Rainmaker had a good review. I will be getting a speed sensor quite soon and will report back on how well it works or not
Long Wheel Base Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Does garmin have one of these that fits into the frame of the giant TCR? Like the giant ride sense unit?
Pulse Posted July 21, 2014 Author Posted July 21, 2014 Does garmin have one of these that fits into the frame of the giant TCR? Like the giant ride sense unit? Nope. Even though ANT+ is generic, the design of the unit for the TCR is proprietary.
Long Wheel Base Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Nope. Even though ANT+ is generic, the design of the unit for the TCR is proprietary.Ok Thanks. Might still consider getting the garmin regardless.
Tankman Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 DC Rainmaker had a good review. I will be getting a speed sensor quite soon and will report back on how well it works or not If you have a Garmin, why do you want a speed sensor? Unless training indoors of course.
RastaMan Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 If you have a Garmin, why do you want a speed sensor? Unless training indoors of course. Not all garmins have a gps you knowlike the edge 200
Tankman Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Not all garmins have a gps you knowlike the edge 200The Edge 200 IS a gps! How do you think it works if you can not add HR, speed, cadence or any accessories?
Spinnekop Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 If you have a Garmin, why do you want a speed sensor? Unless training indoors of course. Exactly for the rollers indoors.........And the new sensor will work smart as I only need to attach it to the training wheels and when racing I won't have to take of (Weight weenie) and remount again.
Spinnekop Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Are these available in SA? I can't seem to find any. A very good friend of mine helped me get one from the US. Works perfect!
LOOK695 Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 I can't seem to find any. A very good friend of mine helped me get one from the US. Works perfect!I have searched as well. Am keen on a cadence sensor
garrethk Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Using the gsc10 and seems to work fairly well. Standard ANT+ so works fine with my powertap joule GPS
