Garmin Speed Sensor 2 - How to Set Up

- A quick demo of how to install the Garmin Speed Sensor 2 on your bike and connect it to an Edge GPS unit. The Speed Sensor 2 measures both speed and distance, but you'll need to calibrate it first; Here's how.

you are one of very few that actually mentioned that the GPS ride will calibrate wheel size for the sensor. Well done.
Thanks John, it wasn't the easiest to film but a great feature that calibrated in just a couple of minutes.
This helped me, too. I have kept wondering where I enter the wheel size details all this time.
Them 2 cats at the end, hilarious. Good demo BTW.
Thanks, that's Lola and Mia. I was busy filming a close up of the sensor but had no idea Mia was hiding in the bush waiting to pounce!
thank you for the video, very helpful :)
Great cat outro!
Thank you.
What are you using to display your ride on the handlebars? I gave the speed sensor 2 but would like to see the miles clocking up as I ride. Whenever I go into the Garmin app it records the ride as complete even if I’m part way through. Thanks!
It used to be that the sensor must be installed on the rear hub, as per Garmin. When did that change?
The rear is more accurate for distance traveled (since the front wheel moves left and right a little during riding and therefore covers more distance on the same ride), but the front wheel had better reception (shorter distance to the computer and less obstacles in between).
Can it connect directly to a phone?
I have Garmin Speed Sensor 2 Gen3 BSCM Version 4.73.4 (no Build Number) which uses Garmin Connect on my Android phone (I paired it via Garmin Connect App). It auto records my Cycling Time after the ride but not the speed or distance (I am assuming ascent needs a cadence recorder?) - I cannot find anything about setting up wheel size but the product is on the metal bit in the middle of the back wheel anyway - is there something different I need to be doing? Is it supposed to tell me distance and average speed (as well as the time) after the ride has ended? Thanks
does the wheel diameter affect accuracy..? Ie: a 406 will spin far faster than a 700 at the same MPH.
No, since you either enter the wheel diameter manually or auto calculate it by riding.
the speed sensor is only sensing revolutions. So are you saying the Garmin Edge is calculating the speed by the number of revolutions divided by distance..?
@@rdkuless no, by multiplying revolutions with wheel circumference (=distance) and then dividing by time
my 530 does not allow me to enter wheel diameter. Have latest software, any ideas?
it should auto-calibrate if you go for a little ride with the 530 switched on! (somewhere with good GPS reception!)
@@uncoolben79 Thanks, the calibratiion function turns on after you spin the wheel a bit. I calibrated it by measuring wheel circumference rather than GPS as I have doubts about the accuracy of GPS.
@@johncrow5552 I know what you mean. I used to use my phone for strava, then an old Edge 130 and now a 530 ... Since ditching the phone for dedicated devices, my rides always show up to be 5-10% shorter than my friends who recorded via smartphone, with about 5-10% less climb! Bit annoying! Dont know if mine is correct or if the phones are!
