Regular  90  Las Cruces, New Mexico |  Subject: Speed/cadence sensor, magnets or accelerometers I have been using the garmin gsc-10 on my road bike for a few years with mixed results but I need a second one for my tri bike, are there any advantages to the new separated cadence and speed sensors using accelerometers versus the old magnet based ones? Reliability issues? I will mostly be using them for Traineroad sessions. |

Extreme Veteran 695 Olathe | Subject: RE: Speed/cadence sensor, magnets or accelerometers No problems here. Plus, it's SO MUCH easier to use. You don't have to worry about knocking the antenna on the frame around and having 3 parts instead of 2. Just turn on the watch, sync, and start riding. |
