Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Garmin GSC 10 Speed/Cadence Bike Sensor
Customer Review: Great Training Aid
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this to track my bike use, like my gym and running use, so I wouldn't miss any training information. This is great, I get my miles, mph, stroke cadence, etc. plus with my hrm I get my calories. My only problem was with installing the pedal sensor. The inside/back of my pedal arm is slightly hollowed out and rounded so there wasn't a flat surface to mount the sensor against. I used some putty to fill in the void behind it along with the supplied zip-tie and so far so good. Other than that modification it is a great training aid that works as advertised. I am looking forward to years of reliable use. BTW, I use this with the FR60, seamless partnering!Customer Review: Really "slick"
Summary: 5 Stars
I actually really like this add-on to the garmin system. It is small, light weight, reads very accurately (does not need a satellite reading) and can be used both indoors and outside. As it attaches to the rear chain-stay on the crank side, I get both speed and cadence when on the trainer. It is exceptionally easy to set up (can be customized to wheel circumference) and can be adjusted for 3 bikes. I put bike mounts on my other two bikes so I can switch off as needed. It works just like any other wireless cycling computer and the settings on the Forerunner 305 give plenty of info as did my Polar CS200. Well worth the cost.Customer Review: Easy way to improve cycling feedback
Summary: 5 Stars
I had the FR305 for a few months before getting this sensor and was happy with the feedback it was giving me. However, there were times when I would lose a signal temporarily (generally in heavily wooded areas and have it guess at my speed etc. But now I am able to get precise and real time speed on my rides and logs. Also, I now have cadence to review in the garmin ride software. This sensor has helped me analysis how I can improve my gearing in different areas of my ride to optimize my work. I rarely push gears that are too big or spin out in gears that are too small. Plus, amazon sells it for a LOT less!Customer Review: Very impressive for a Forerunner 305 Accessory
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this to add on to my Forerunner 305 and I couldn't be more satisfied. It was a bit confusing to install, since the unit has a speed sensor for a GPS unit, but they don't explain why. I assume this was for indoor use. I will find out, this winter. I have a carbon fiber bike, so I was careful not to tighten it too much, and after about 200 miles with it, I have not made any adjustments. I works very well, and is great to keep track of your average cadence and review on a computer. I would recommend this for any cyclist. I will be buying another one for my indoor bike on the trainer.Customer Review: Works as advertised!
Summary: 5 Stars
This unit went on with ease and has worked without issue paired with my Edge 500 ever since. Installation was a breeze (how could it not be?) and it stays put where you place it.
My only suggestion would be to forget about the crank arm magnet this comes with and buy a 1/2" rare earth (neodymium) magnet that you can simply place against the inside pedal spindle (it will stick and stay, don't worry.) This will allow you to have a very stealthy cadence setup that will stay put and work flawlessly. Check ebay for these magnets, they can be had for a couple of dollars for a stack of 10.
