I bought this to use to with my Garmin Forerunner 305 and now it's fitted to the bike it works great and I find it really useful. I did, however, find it a bit messy to fit. It comprises of three parts - the sensor, the pedal magnet and the spoke magnet. At first I thought that I was missing one part because the two magnets stuck to each other. On reflection, I suppose it's pretty obvious that this would happen but at the time it took me a little time to realise this.

The included instructions are not very clear but I did find a video showing how to attach it to the bike. Just search youtube for "Garmin Edge 800 Cadence sensor install."

There's not much else to say about this device except it's a very useful tool to measure your RPM/Speed/Distance both outdoors and when indoors on a trainer. If you're into cycling training, you would definitely benefit from using this product. I paired it with my Garmin Foreunner 305 and it works like a charm!

My first Garmin Cadence sensor burned out batteries weekly, it was faulty and Garmin customer support was not helpful. The second one seems to work well once it is calabrated to the other sport products. Be sure to attach very close to the foot pod. I would recommend this product to anyone. Attach it, set it and forget it.

When pedalling on the wind trainer using the GARMIN 010-10644-00 Speed/Cadence Sensor (with a Forerunner 305), I find that it will, at random times, show a reading of between 5 and 8 km/h for about 5 seconds even though the pedalling speed is constant above 28 km/h. This has a huge effect on your your average speed for a workout. I have moved the sensor as close to the magnet as possible, but it seems to make no difference for this glitch. Most of the time it seems to work as it should, and it works very well for interval sessions as you can keep your speed and cadence at a certain level and not worry about the occasional false readings. But it would be much better if you could trust the average speed reading.

Il est vraiment facile a utilisé. bon rapport qualité prix. Ils vous offre une bonne qualité et une expédition rapide

I've paired this to a Garmin USB Ant stick as well as my Suunto Ambit. Works well and sends accurate data to both.

This is my 2nd purchase - I have more than one bike - it pairs up very easily with my Garmin Edge 800 and Forerunner 410. Happy customer!!

I've seen several reviews about this breaking when using it outside but I'm only using it for my trainer (outside I use the GPS) so it works well for me.

It's exactly what I was looking for; meet my expectations. It's easy to use and read about it befor choosing it.

Considering that all the LBS in my area are selling the same unit for twice the price, the purchase was a no-brainer!
The only downside of the product is lack of spare cable ties, specially if you make a mistake on the first time configuration. So if you have never fastened a Speed/Cadence sensor before, I suggest you take some extra cable ties as well. Other than that there is no shortcoming, the sensor was easily connected to my Garmin Forerunner 410 and the readings are as accurate as you want them to be. Overall, it is a good purchase
