I never used cadence before, that was really good know. The speed sensor is not necessary if GPS working well but it can help when things are fuzzy on GPS. It really is nice for use on the trainer and that is probably the best thing for me about the Garmin

Just ordered my second set of Garmin Bike Speed Sensor and Cadence Sensor Bundle for another bike. While these sensors are fairly easy to transfer among bikes, Their price is right for me to have simply purchased a second set. These new sensors work like a champ and have a much lower profile than the original Garmin Speed/Cadence sensors. Highly-recommend!

Instructions to install and set up the sensors were easy to understand. Paired sensor to my Garmin 235 watch. Speed and cadence sensors calibrated automatically while riding. Sensors allow for additional statistics to be added to your Garmin connect. Works very well. I recommend adding these sensors to your bike.

These sensors are better than the first models. Easy set up and pairing. So far the battery had lasted a cycling year (winter excluded). Installing the battery takes time like everything else. Both a second pair.

I recently converted to Garmin after 20 years of Polar use. I initially repurposed my bluetooth speed and cadence sensors, but when a deal came up on Bike Tires Direct for the Garmin sensors, I decided to go for it. The sensors are easy to mount and connect with a Garmin head unit. And if it's a requirement, they're much easier to move between bikes as the mounting mechanism is similar to a rubber band, and no magnets are required.

I feel this version works much better than the first version
Review by Merlin
These sensors are on all of my bikes now replacing the old type which had magnets on spokes and crankarm. They work great right out of the box.
When you need to change the battery in the speed sensor, be careful to not bend any contacts or remove ANYTHING other than the actual battery.

This is the second set I've bought. I have them on both road bikes and have given them names to help identify the bike I was riding later. Pretty easy to pair, it took a few minutes to figure out how to set a custom wheel diameter. Works great and helps keep the GPS honest.

If you have a bike computer that is a Garmin or Ant+ these are must have items. I needed the speed sensor, and wasn't 100% sure about the cadence sensor but bought it anyway. Itt was a great purchase. Both devices have improved my riding by giving accurate feedback. They are very simple to connect to the bike computer, I even purchased a second set to use on my MTB so i get the same data no matter which bike i'm riding (road or MTB)

Great sensors at a great price

Works as intended. Trivially easy to install. Not much more to say.
Review by luckycarms
i love my sensors! everything easily sync'd with my garmin 530 edge and with zwift, so now i have great data about my cycling performance. i try not to focus on my stats too hard, but it is really interesting to see your performance changes throughout a season. i set this up by myself in less than 15 minutes before an early morning group ride... so i'd say it's pretty easy.

Using the Speed and Cadence sensors with my Garmin Vivoactive 4. Works as intended and gives accurate numbers compared to my previous Cat-eye sensors. One of my straps for the cadence sensor tore after a few rides, may be due to my shoes rubbing against it.
Review by DJ
Super easy to install and connects just fine to my wahoo. Syncs to training peaks and strava just fine. Have used on some technical trails on my gravel bike and keeps on going like the energizer bunny. Definitely recommend!

I've still yet to buy a cycling computer, and use my Garmin FR 235 for both cycling and running. I got these to better measure my speed and cadence and have been super happy with the metrics it provides.

These are great. Get a new bike, get another set of sensors.
Keep in mind Garmin doesnt auto assign a bike to the sensor in each bike. Boo.

Easy to install on bike. Works great.
Review by bikingshawn
I had the old magnetic style garmin, and as many of you know that was easy to knock off kilter, or even get fouled in spokes if bumped.
This has none of those problems at all. It synched quite easily to my old Forerunner 310 xt and my Garmin Insticnt. It also worked with blue tooth to synch for using with Rouvy app over the winter.
Nice little upgrade and nothing is sticking out of the bike and you don't have to worry about things lining up and losing data.

This is a great sensor set for getting your bike paired up with a Garmin GPS sensor. I have ordered these kits for each of my bikes and share 1 Garmin 830 GPS device between the 3 bikes with no difficulties switching between sensors. I also use these with Zwift to pair up on my trainer.
