What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Both sensors automatically switch on when moved so no need to fiddle around before each workout. Paired easily with iphone via garmin connect app and venu watch. Data immediately appears in connect/ strava.
Great service, in resolving this frustrating situation. I am now able jump on either my turbo bike or road bike and the relevant sensors register with the garmin they’re in use. Overall, can't fault it.
Speed sensor comes in a silicone case so the strap is stretchy. Attachment easy with the supplied silicone rubber hoops. Connects after a couple of rotations of the pedals to my garmin 130 with ease.
Cons
Garmin connect app only connects to speed sensor.
The distance tracker is wildly inaccurate on a peloton bike and you have to dismantle the device every time you want to 'wake' it. My heart rate is higher stressing trying to get it to work than cycling! The speed sensor stops recording in the middle ... Read More
It needs rewriting to explain there is a plastic disc that needs removing on the cadence sensor. Broke 2 nails trying to close the thing. Told to watch a video and then could not reach anyone. Will return tomorrow.
Highlights

Wanted something to assist the garmin 130 plus when mountain biking garmin can lose signal when in forests this auto syncs when garmin 130 is switched on guarantees more accurate data

The speed sensor seems basically useless though if using a watch which uses gps handy for a bike with no speed sensor but i dont use any of the data as the watch defaults to gps

Where it has been left down is the glitchy companion app

I got it to use it on the bike when i’m on the turbo trainer as mine is just a dumb trainer with no sensors

The only slight issue i had was with the initial set up my watch garmin 735 kept detecting the cadence sensor and not the speed sensor but simply moving it away meant the speed sensor connected and ever since both sensors connect automatically and with no bother
