Review on Enhanced Garmin GSC 10 Speed 🚴 and Cadence Bicycle Sensor for Improved Performance by Fred Griffin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great for road bikes; Fits semi-mountain bikes

The speed/cadence sensor is easy to install and adjust for road bikes. Once installed, a sensor on one side of the body registers each pedal stroke to determine cadence, and a sensor on the other side registers the actual speed of each wheel revolution. The speed sensor is at the end of the arm that controls the distance to the wheel. However, mountain bikes and some types of recumbent and hybrid bikes are configured to prevent the pedal sensor and wheel sensor from being in the correct position. Position for registering cadence and bike speed. In this case, you need to define your own goal: what do you prefer more accurate, cadence or speed? - When you select Cadence, the Garmin device uses its GPS capabilities to register your instantaneous change in position and interpret your speed. Torque is typically 1 to 2 seconds, meaning the dots can be as much as 20 feet apart if you're moving at around 22 mph. The detailed display of your route can e.g. B. crossing curbs in curves, but is generally flawless. - When you select a speed, your ride log will not include any cadence data at all. A Garmin forum member came up with a way to provide speed and cadence information on his mountain bike, but went to extraordinary lengths to do this to provide an extension for one of the sensors. .As far as I know Garmin has no intention of releasing a speed/cadence sensor to meet the needs of bikes that don't have a road bike configuration.
