Subject: Interruptions with Garmin sensors
Wondering if anyone can offer up advice or experienced this. I started using TrainerRoad about 7 wks ago, along with the Garmin ANT+ usb stick, speed, cadence sensors(not GSC10) , and HRM, along with my 910 strapped on the handlebars. Recently, BOTH TrainerRoad and the 910 started to sporadically lose the signals from all 3 devices, at the same. So, it's not isolated to either the 910 or usb stick, and I replaced the batteries in the sensors. Something seems to be interrupting the signal strength all of a sudden. Suggestions?

Check on the back of your Garmin stick to see if its a USB-1 or USB-2. The 1.0 should be able to send up to 4 devices....perhaps not well though. Not sure what the problem might be for sure but you're better off with a 2.0. I'm not using TR but the small Suunto 2.0 is a good choice. But do some research on this.

Build a farraday cage around your trainer! It sounds like you are getting outside interference if multiple sensors are simultaneously dropping their signal to multiple receivers.

Garmin express is off. I do have a bunch of stuff around the trainer though. I'll try moving things around to see if that helps. Thanks!

Sorry about that. This is all great advice above. Check out this article and see if anything jumps out at you as a possible culprit: http://support.trainerroad.com/hc/en-us/articles/201802644-Device-D...

If it's the new speed and cadence sensor that attached to your hub for speed and separately to your crank for cadence, Trainerroad has been having trouble with it. A friend of mine used it and had to go back to the gsc 10 because there isn't anything yet from trainerroad to read it. I think they are still catching up to this new sensor.
