Bateleur1 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Thanks for all the replies. I'll pop into Navworld and see what they say.If my only choice is to buy another one, I think I'll bite the bullet and get the new style ones, they are seem a lot less finicky and more reliable. Well they are waterproof for sure. Been commuting in heavy rain the last couple of weeks and no problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted June 13, 2018 Share For the life of me i cannot get the new sensors to work with my 800, tried 2 different sensors and returned them for refund. Odd thing is if I'm riding in a bunch it will sometimes pick up one of the other bikes sensors. Edited June 13, 2018 by scotty Thomo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taryncollister Posted April 10, 2020 Share Does anyone have a spare magnet for this unit lying around? Or what other magnet options did you use when loosing the original magnet ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taryncollister Posted April 10, 2020 Share Doubt that it's worth getting it fixed.R 400 - R500 for one in the classifies section. Obviously you've replaced the battery and tried a different magnet.(I've had to change magnets because the one I used wasn't strong enough - not the original Garmin one). What other magnets have u tried with this unit ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomo Posted April 10, 2020 Share Does anyone have a spare magnet for this unit lying around? Or what other magnet options did you use when loosing the original magnet ?Any magnet should work as long as it fits close enough to the sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaco Steyn Posted April 11, 2020 Share Does anyone have a spare magnet for this unit lying around? Or what other magnet options did you use when loosing the original magnet ?Just yesterday I digged up my old Rav-X indoor trainer to set up a bike to cater for this extended shut-down. I installed a spare unused GSC-10 cadence-speed sonsor on it, and took two random sensor magnets from my drawer. My trusty old Garmin Edge 500 paired with the sensor immediately. The cadence worked first time, but I had to fine tune the spoke magnet's pick-up arm position to get it to read the stationary speed. I can therefore set your mind at ease that you can use any magnet you have available, it will definitely work.

Sechaba Posted April 11, 2020 Share Hi all, somewhat related question. Been using Garmin’s HRM tri, I recently got a wahoo Tickr X. Using the tickr with my Garmin Fenix watch as I do the Garmin HRM on my runs, rides & swims. Got Garmin speed & cadence sensors. The speed/cadence & calorie readings are vastly different on both devices. Garmin readings typically lower. Which brand to use as standard?
