Review and Installation of Garmin Cadence Sensor 2

Just awesome. So simple to install. No magnets, just the sensor easily attached to your crank by one of three rubber bands of varying lengths. The CR2032 battery is long-lasting and easily replaceable. This works with ANT+ and Bluetooth so should pair with just about anything. I use it with a Garmin Edge 500. It's about $40.

I don't have much clearance between my crank and the frame. Can I put the sensor on the outside of the crank or does it need to be on the inside to work?

[@michaelerbreviews]

Chris As far as I know it does not matter whether the sensor is on the inside or outside of the crank.

[@DevashishJagirdar]

Do I need to buy the edge ? I have the forerunner 45 and use Garmin connect 45 for my rides.

[@firstname7780]

is it magnetic electromagnetic speed or is it angular ? how does it tell? CADENCE 1 was magnetic EM

[@michaelerbreviews]

If you are asking how the Speed Sensor works, I have no idea. I only have the cadence sensor and my Garmin Edge 500 determines speed by GPS

My computer won't connect.

[@cloudstrife3762]

Melanie Furseman same here. My edge can’t connect to cadence sensor in other way i use other brand and it’s paired easily.

[@suzconr0609IDO]

Same here. Two sensors, both worked once, then broke. Unimpressed with Garmin.

Does this sensor work with wahoo element mini?

[@joaogoncalves57]

It doesn't matter the brand honestly, if it's not coded and has bluetooth/ ant+ it should go

[@foxhound143]

I own a mtb, are these water/mud proof(

[@michaelerbreviews]

Joseph Tinsay The sensor has a IPX7 waterproof rating which according to Garmin means: “*The device withstands incidental exposure to water of up to 1 m for up to 30 min. For more information, go to www.garmin.com/waterrating.”
I Have ridden my bike in the rain numerous times and I hose my bike off frequently. I have not gone through much mud however. I have not had any issues.
