Thank you so much!! I was so stuck on how to do this you made it so easy! Thank you!
Thank you very much for sharing. The video was a perfect fit for me.
Brilliant ! Thanks so much.
Thanks for the video, great help
Whoaa! Superb!
Thanks a lot!
I'm guessing this is not the Speed Sensor 2? For anybody coming across this, the Speed Sensor 2 comes apart using a screwdriver slot, and the battery should be installed in the OPPOSITE direction to this video ("+" upwards).
You're correct, this is the '1' which is slightly different. I don't have access to a '2' currently to do a video for that I'm afraid.
Thanks for this
My pleasure!
Putting the back on again, I broke 2 nails. It's impossible. I pushed really hard with my thumb and tried to turn the thing and I got to say it took me 1/2 hour. It just kept popping up. I think 2 people are better but with Covid I'm not getting that close to anyone.
It can be really tricky the first couple of times but once you get the hang of it you'll find it gets easier.
No light flash from mine - perhaps no light indicator on mine?
Possibly yours doesn’t have a light, I believe there are at least two slightly different models but I don’t know what the differences are.
Can you do cadence sensor mine not working...
I have a cadence sensor here that needs the battery replacing so I will work on this over the next two evenings - I should be able to get this published by Tuesday evening - please keep an eye on the channel or even btter subscribe and you will see a notification when it gets uploaded.
Cadence sensor video is now published - check th-cam.com/video/MVwo0KYyfeE/w-d-xo.html
Any ideas of what to do if your husband throws out the white circle with the plus on it?
I think it's only a bit of thickish paper with the + symbol to help with battery orientation. I'd get hold of some of those sticky dots and put one or two in until you have created enough padding in the lid to stop the battery rattling loose. You could then use a pen to put the + symbol on the sticker to remind you of battery orientation.
@@CyclingLabs thank you! I thought it conducted something kind of signal.
Pull the battery be applying sticky tape to it.
Brilliant idea, especially if you haven't got a magnet to hand - fortunately I have many but it's a great suggestion for those that haven't got one.
@@CyclingLabs I did have a pretty strong magnet, but it didn't work. I got the tape idea from a different video, and it worked.
Pull the battery using magnetical stuff is much easier
What a good idea, as an engineer I'm a little embarrased that I didn't think of this - thanks for the tip.
These batteries shouldn't be so difficult to remove.
Robert Najuch I found this one a bit tricky, but some are easier. If you check out my cadence sensor battery replacement video I use a tip from another viewer where I use a magnet to get it out.
I have just spent over 30 minutes and there is absolutely no way to get the battery back in and locked in place, this is designed so poorly I can't believe they released this to the public.
The knack with this is once you have the marks on the cover and case aligned is to gently squeeze them together and then twist the cover in to place. Practising without the battery in place might help.
@@CyclingLabs I have changed the battery many times. This time, I can screw the cap to the lock position. Not a reliable design, seems it wears after a few battery changes and even with applying force from a small screwdriver and pushing down firmly, I can't lock it in place.
@@dansteinbach6296 The lockngn mechanism is crap and pretty damn hard for a fundtion that needs to be repeated hundreds of times. Garmins are absolute shit with all the crap you have to put up with. Not to mention that the actual units have their faults as well. Ive had two garmins now and i am not buying another. I am getting a wahoo next. Screw garmin. The metal casing that sticks to the battery is also something that people screw up if not careful and that means buying a whole new speed sensor if you mess that thing up. Just the whole design seems to be made by people who do not use or even test the product they release.
A truly shit product that doesn’t work.
