I was tired of my GPS head unit giving inaccurate miles and speeds. Decided to put these babies on it to clear up confusion and have an accurate metric to my bike riding experience. Works like a charm. I knew I was going faster than the GPS alluded.
if you have a Garmin bike computer and no power meter, these will provide speed and cadence. They do what they are supposed to. Relatively expensive for what they actually do and what they consist of but if u have a Garmin you might only be able to use these
Although I own a Wahoo cycling computer, I opted for the Garmin sensors since they are slightly more affordable than the Wahoo equivalents, but also because they flawlessly integrate with the head unit.
I have two bikes using Wahoo sensors and although they get paired quickly, one of the speed sensors eats up batteries like crazy. Also my Wahoo HRM just doesn�t want to pair with the head unit - it takes way too long and requires shutting down the Bluetooth on my phone before attempting to pair.
The Garmin sensors however have no issues - my Varia RCT715 (radar camera taillight) pairs immediately, and I do mean immediately, regardless of whatever order I start pair sensors so I decided to try the Garmin sensors. I�m glad I did because they have performed excellent.
Bought these on sale to use with my Wahoo. They have performed excellent, and the reason I chose these over Wahoo was 1) better battery compartment and 2) the price and longevity of Garmin sensors.
This is my third bundle, so now I can use my 1030 with all three bikes. Quick and easy.
I use this these sensors on both my full suspension mountain bike and my road bike. I also connect them to both my Garmin edge 820 and my Garmin Vivoactive Watch. Set up was really easy in both cases, and I haven't had an issue since.
Very easy to pair
The sensor kit is top notch. Beware with tapered Hubs. The bands are not long enough. Fixed that by adding a long o'ring to make the strap longer.
I've been using Garmin technologies for many, many years ranging from Fenix watches and various bike computers (Edge 530, 830 and 1040). They are all fantastic and communicate flawlessly with Garmin bike speed & cadence sensors 2. These sensors are a great value, easy to install and battery life is excellent! Never had a need to compare Garmin against other brands namely due to complete satisfaction with Garmin. I can say if you have a rare occasion where you have an issue, Garmin technical support and customer service is fantastic.
Was having trouble with my speed sensor due to the wheel magnet slipping. My son had these and I thought the design was better than the common magnet-and-sensor variety. Installed easily, paired quickly with head unit (Karoo 2), and has been trouble-free since. Cannot ask for more!
The Garmin Bike Speed Sensor 2 and Cadence Sensor 2 Bundle is essential for the full value of the Garmin computer. Very accurate and steady readings. Keeps my training on track.
These sensors are much easier to set up and use than the former speed and cadence sensor that used to have to be attached to the chain stay and then adjusted so that it could read the magnets on your rear wheel and crankarm. The only difficulty with installing, if you have clumsy fingers like me, is to stretch the band around the crankarm or the wheel hub and get it into the slots on the sensor. But once it's on, it's on. Seems to be very accurate. Now use these on all three of my bikes.
Bound easily to a Lezyne Super Pro GPS unit. In fact it works better than the Lezyne sensor's. Except that the GPS doesn't detect the battery charge. But it was spotty with the Lezyne sensors anyway. Even when new. I've only used the Garmin sensors a couple of times. But so far I'm very satisfied that they even work with the Lezyne GPS. The Lezyne sensors are really cheaply made and suck the battery down really fast. Even when not being used. The quality of the Garmin sensors is far superior. And the price isn't much more than the Lezyne sensors. So far I'm very satisfied with the Garmin sensors. I may have to buy another set.
This product works well with my Garmin Edge 540 and allows me to easily switch from one bike to another.
These guys are easy to install (much better than the previous generation) and work well. Connecting to my Edge 530 was easy and I don't notice any dropouts. The rubber bands seem sturdy and battery life is extremely good. The cadence sensor is essential if you're a data nerd. The speed sensor may not be so important, because the Edge also tracks speed. However, some online reviews suggest speed is measured more accurately by the sensor. You also need a speed sensor if you use an indoor trainer, or if you ride in an area where GPS frequently drops out due to buildings, trees, etc. I have a couple of speed sensors (one for each wheelset) -- they're a pretty cheap add-on if purchased in the bundle with the cadence sensor.
These are on 5 of our 7 bikes. They work great. Easy sync.
Sensors work flawlessly with Edge 830.
Muy bueno gracias
Worked very well with my 1030 the average speeds are better as is the mileage. I have not "Lost" miles since using the sensor.
This is the first set of sensors I have ever had. I love them. They connected to my devices very easily. The only thing I am going to work on is stopping the sensor from starting when i walk my bike.
