rscutub is correct. I installed the speed magnet on the wheel wire which was not the closest one to magnet. After reinstalling the magnet on another wheel wire which is closest to the antenna, the green light blinks and the GSC 10 starts picking up the speed data. BRAVO!!
This video really helped install the GSC 10. Only improvements I can say is. 1-At start of video mention that you will need a nice short nose snippers or good pair of scissors. 2-Mention to the users, if not already done so please put your Garmin watch on charge, I just finshed installing and found the 910XT on 4% battery, just a good one to say I guess. Im new to te 910XT not even taken it for a run or cycle yet. Really looking forward to using it. THANKS TO THIS VID GOOD INSTALL HERE
Nelson. I would try to leave it with the shortest distance possible. That maximum distance (5mm) is what is written in the manual, but I believe that the sensor should still work if the distance is a little biit more than that.
Just FYI... looks like a great video but there is no sound at all... just watched several other videos on this topic and all had sound, played this several times and no sound... not sure if you can reupload or if this is a youtube problem...
the rubber mount piece is in addition to the one that comes on the sensor itself. you should have removed the one from the unit before sticking the deeper rubber mount to it. they are designed for different frame types. my road bike uses the flat style one that comes preinstalled and my mtb uses the deep groove version.
I had the same issue, It picks up only the cadence but not the speed or distance. I moved the antenna a little closer to the Magnet and it started working. Also make sure you turn of the GPS when using it indoors on a trainer. Thanks
That might be the problem... Try rotating your pedal with your hand and notice if the light goes on when the crank sensor (magnet in the pedal) pass by the gsc-10. If you are not seeing any light, try to approximate the crank sensor to the gsc to see if it is a problem of distance or not.
Probably that is happening because the speed magnet is too far from the antenna. Try lifting a little bit the antenna to get closer to the magnet (you can see how to do that in the video - time 4:14).
Thanks for an informative video. However I cannot make it work. My garmin 310 shows the speed but not the cadance. I get the red and the green light. Is it because the small piece on the pedal i not close enough to the antenna?
There is a much more elegant way to install the pedal magnet. Just buy a 10mm round flat magnet from ebay for a couple of dollars (preferably with a hole in the middle). Then stick that magnet to the end of the pedal bolt which creates a shallow cavity in the crank arm. The magnet attaches itself there and will never fall out. No need for tie wraps, glue or anything and it's totally stealth. No one can tell it's there.
That would seem strange, but I'm seeing less reliability with mine pointing down so maybe that's the reason. If it's pointing down then even if it is knocked to interfere with the wheel it won't be a major problem. With it pointing up against the direction of rotation then I'd expect if it is knocked into the wheel it could be quite catastrophic.
I need sth like a overall distance on my bike. I do not always use activity (every ride isn't training) so if I use this sensor is it gonna send information to my Fenix 5x that I ride on a bike and made some km?
What if my chain stay passes the 5 mm mark between the pedal and the sensor ? I had to tilt a bit the sensor thus making it unstable and it fell if place.
My chainstay is too far away from the pedal. The only way I can get the cadence magnet to register is if I angle the GSC-10 unit outwards. I wonder if this effects the accuracy?
I just bought one of these off eBay not even realizing it was also a speed sensor.. I thought it was exclusively cadence.. So how does that work?? Instead of the speed being calculated off GPS, it will automatically be calculated from this sensor?? Looks like another way for Strava doping to occur.. :(
I don't think you would see any colors after riding. I think the colors are used only when you are pairing the devices (connecting them for the first time)
Sorry about that sound... The antenna is back up again just because I made that step (of pressing the reset button) before I turned the antenna down (I inverted the scenes in the video). I prefer to have the antenna down. If you don't get the speed sensor or if its signal is not stable, you should adjust the antenna position to be more closer to the sensor (i.e, lift it a little bit).
I have a problem. The GSC10 wouldn't pick up the speed data. It picks up only the cadence data. Only red light flashes but not the green light. Anybody has idea as to what is wrong. Please help.....
You're very close but just a bit off with these instructions. When it comes to the extra rubber bumper you don't put both on at the same time. The one that comes pre-attached to the sensor is for dropouts that are wide. The other one is for narrower dropouts. If you need the narrower one you are supposed to remove the pre-attached one. As for the mast, it's supposed to be pointing upwards (that's why the alignment line is only visible when it's upwards).
In the video, step #8 (time 4:27) I show how to test the connectivity with between the garmin watch and garmin cadence sensor. To see the cadence in the screen, you just need to select the "cadence" data field to be display in the screen. In the garmin 910xt, you can do it by going to Settings->Bike Settings->Data Fields.
Thank you. Got this for Christmas and the Garmin instructions are close to useless. Watched your video and did it in minutes.

This might be the best "how to" video I've seen. Straight to the point, shown with example. Love it!
Thanks a lot.
thanks Juan
My Garmin is due in tomorrow and your video was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
Thank you!! I wasn't sure I had understand the instructions.. with your help, everything became clear!
Nelson. I would try to leave it with the shortest distance possible. That maximum distance (5mm) is what is written in the manual, but I believe that the sensor should still work if the distance is a little biit more than that.
Wow...wish I would've thought to look this up sooner. Thank you!
Just FYI... looks like a great video but there is no sound at all... just watched several other videos on this topic and all had sound, played this several times and no sound... not sure if you can reupload or if this is a youtube problem...
Thank you, very helpful, more so than the actual instructions.
Emma Brennan You are wecome.

Yes ! It works with the 310XT. Though I have a question : do we have to calibrate it every time we ride ? Do we have to push the reset b ?
Hi Ken. The video was made without sound.
Simply brilliant way of helping Thanks man!
ugh thank you for not putting ukulele music over this
Quite disconcerting without sound
Question, why did you lift the antenna back up again at the end of the video?
Thought they got ride of the magnet in the newest model? Newer one fits to non drive Crank arm and wheel hub.
Hi. Thanks for feedback. I will add your info in the video.
Thanks Nice Simply Video just waiting for my sensor to arrive this video will help me fit it
Probably that is happening because the speed magnet is too far from the antenna. Try lifting a little bit the antenna to get closer to the magnet (you can see how to do that in the video - time 4:14).

this sensor will work with the forerunner 310x, right?
Oops! 1:44 cable tie wrong way round!
Tell the Garmin police.

What if my chain stay passes the 5 mm mark between the pedal and the sensor ? I had to tilt a bit the sensor thus making it unstable and it fell if place.
But if after a ride, neither the red nor the green one appear, like if the hole installation moved or something !!?
My chainstay is too far away from the pedal. The only way I can get the cadence magnet to register is if I angle the GSC-10 unit outwards. I wonder if this effects the accuracy?
I think you would be fine. Just adjust the "antenna" accordingly so you can also get the wheel magnet sensor correctly.
The green/red lights only come on for the first 50 times after pairing, after that they stay blank to save battery.
I just bought one of these off eBay not even realizing it was also a speed sensor.. I thought it was exclusively cadence.. So how does that work?? Instead of the speed being calculated off GPS, it will automatically be calculated from this sensor?? Looks like another way for Strava doping to occur.. :(
thanks! just what i needed today....
Mikael Palm You are welcome. Safe ride.
Yeah.. the manual does not help at all... glad that it helped you.
i had my garmin cadence installed. how do i know its now working with the garmin gps? is there a display screen for cadence?
I don't think you would see any colors after riding. I think the colors are used only when you are pairing the devices (connecting them for the first time)
Coz after a while, i see no red or green light when the sensors meet
can this sensor be linked to the cat eye V2c computer ????
No idea...
There is no need to calibrate every time you ride, unless you have calibrated your 310XT with other gsc.
Thank you. This helps a lot.
thank you for watching
