Wahoo Fitness RPM Cadence Sensor for Outdoor Cycling, Spin and Stationary Bikes, Blue

Good little item, works well

Options for attachment work just fine, settled for the offside crank arm. Appears to be perfectly accurate and there's no trouble interfacing it to either Wahoo Fitness or Locus Maps. It appears you can only link it to one app at a time. It's not difficult to get access to the battery to replace it, the holder pops open with the twist of a coin in a slot on the side. The silicone rubber holder that I'd have thought would have been ideal needs to be mounted in such a way that the cable ties used to secure it would have to be removed to remove it from the holder. Which doesn't make a lot of sense to me... Apart from that, the only other gripe was that the supplied battery was at 25% on first use. But then the thing activates on movement, so I'd imagine it must have been activating on and off all the way through the delivery from the warehouse. Might be an idea to have the battery separate or insulated in the device. Incredible that they've got the sensor, BT/LE, and microcontroller all tucked away in such a small case...

Used with: Garmin Edge 1030 This little gadget works perfectly. It was easy to fit using the double-sided tape supplied, since I have cranks with flat inside surfaces. In case you have cranks with curved surfaces, the unit comes with a snug little holder which zip-ties to the crank. It synced to my Garmin immediately, it starts up quickly and automatically, and it just works, every time. Cadence readings appear to be as accurate as you could hope for - there's often a delay of a couple of seconds before the reading changes in response to a change in cadence, but this could be the Garmin doing a time-averaging thing - it's not easy to update a display rapidly when measuring something that's only turning at little more than one rev per second. The big news for me is that so far, after using it for around 10 hours of riding, I haven't seen a single drop-out. It's certainly infinitely better than the Magene sensor I bought originally, and which went into the scrap bin after a couple of rides due to continual signal drop-outs. If you're wondering which of these sensors to buy, I'd recommend you buy this Wahoo sensor - don't waste your money on the Magene. I would have given this unit five stars, but I have to knock off one star because of the very soft plastic the sensor is made of - when the time comes to change the battery I think it's going to be difficult to prise open the battery compartment without causing some serious damage. Well, we'll see when the time comes, in the meantime I'm very pleased with it. EDIT: I've just bought a second unit for one of my other bikes, and it arrived with a dead battery. The manufacturer stupidly ships these units with the battery already installed and connected, so every time the unit moves while in transit, it gets activated. The first one I bought was ok, not so the second one. So as I had to change the battery, I was forced to find a tool to prise the unit open without damaging it. The only thing I can find to do the job is a ball-link plier used for separating the links used in RC planes, such as this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ATATMOUNT-Metal-Oblique-Helicopter-Repair/dp/B08NJR2WKS. I have two on hand and they do the job. If you don't happen to have one lying around though, it's pretty annoying to have to spend a tenner for a tool just to change the battery.

Excellent cadence sensor, stuck on and connected with ease.

Worked and connected straight away

Be aware that this only works with certain Garmin Edge devices (check the "thisisant" website for compatibility with your device), not all will accept a cadence only sensor. I have a Garmin 500 and this does pick up the cadence sensor just fine. I had a combined speed/cadence sensor that sits on the chainstay before I got this and although I liked it, I'd lost the speed magnet off the wheel and I never liked having all that stuff strapped to the bike. With the RPM I have the choice of attach this to the crank via sticky pads or zip ties, OR to my shoe (like those footpods). I went for the latter, which means there is nothing attached to my bike to clutter it up and attract dirt, it also means the sensor works on all my bikes as I just attach it to whichever shoes I'm wearing (5 second job), it even means I could use it on a stationary bike in a gym (but why would I when I have a real bike and real roads to ride on?) Overall I'm pleased with it, it doesn't tend to sense slower cadence (i.e. less than 40rpm) that well, but on the whole it appears to work just as well as my old ant+ sensor that relied on a magnet. I could have gone for the Garmin version of this, but felt this was better as it supports Bluetooth, so hopefully is a little more future proof and will work with a wider range of devices (including connecting to my phone).

I initially was going to return this as I couldn't connect it to Zwift. After some thinking, by pure accident, I looked on play store and see there is a specific ANT+ Utility app download. I installed it on my Samsung A52.. now connects and works a treat through zwift. This may be obvious to some but instructions reveal nothing and are useless. Have now cancelled the return. I hope this helps someone out.

Den fungerar precis som den ska. Fick dock byta batteri efter bara 1 timmes användning. Eftersom den aktiveras genom att man skakar eller rör den så misstänker jag att den har aktiverats flera gånger under hantering och transport, därav det tidiga batteribytet. Det bästa vore att man fick sätta i batteriet själv.

J'en suis vraiment très satisfait… je l'utilise avec le clip d'attache aux chaussures (qui est livré avec le capteur) pour pouvoir l'utiliser à la fois pour faire du vélo, mais aussi aller marcher et connaître ma cadence et en déduire ma fatigue... La pile d'origine aura durée 10 mois à raison de 4/5 séances par semaine, mais c'est une batterie CR2032 classique donc pas de problèmes pour la remplacer... J'avais lu des commentaires sur la difficulté à la changer qui m'avaient questionnés à l'achat, mais c'est un jeu d'enfants en fait, avec, par exemple, le manche d'une petite cuillère de cuisine, on l'ouvre comme une huître... L'application Wahoo a fait des mises à jour très récemment, et vraiment, je recommande sans problème cet excellent capteur de cadence...

It is perfect. Exactly what I needed and hoped for. No problems, regardless of others saying so with syncing it to my Apple Watch or Garmin Edge. It’s great being able to to my cadence as I ride. Will buy again when needed. I have several bikes so I opted to put it on my shoes.

Adquirí el sensor con reticencias después de leer algunas pruebas por internet y por eso de que sólo funcionara a través de acelerómetro, pero en cuanto lo he probado mis dudas se han disipado. Super sencillo de instalar (trae un acople para las bielas o uno para las zapatillas, que es el que yo uso), los buscas con el pulsómetro o el móvil y listo! Perfecta integración con el Polar V800, y si bien la medición de la cadencia no es tan instantánea como puede serlo un sensor con imán, a mí me sobra. Suele clavar las mediciones de cadencia, aunque alguna vez de golpe baja, aunque es cuestión de un segundo. Llevo usándolo más de un mes saliendo dos o tres veces a la semana y nunca me ha fallado, recomendable sobre todo por su facilidad de poder llevarlo en varias zapatillas (yo lo he probado en las zapatillas de carretera, las mtb y en spinning). Eso es quizá, lo que más valor da al producto. Sin duda yo lo recomiendo.

Werd geleverd zonder sensor, voor de rest alles aanwezig. De verpakking was duidelijk al eens geopend.
