I am struggling to get an RPM reading from the Speed/Cadence sensor and it doesn't show up under the list of sensors?

  • This can be caused by the sensor not being attached securely to your bike chain stay or the magnet is not correctly inline with the sensor. Please ensure that the magnet is directly inline with the sensor and the LED light flashes when the magnet is detected. 

​

I am struggling to get an Speed reading from the Speed/Cadence sensor and it doesn't show up under the list of sensors?

  • This can be caused by the sensor not being attached securely to your bike forks or the magnet is not correctly inline with the sensor. Please ensure that the magnet is directly inline with the sensor and the LED light flashes when the magnet is detected. If paired to a GPS cycling app, check to see if the device is using GPS for speed, on some devices you will need to select the Speed sensor as the source for bike speed and distance.

Can I pair my Speed/ Cadence Sensor to my phone app and ANT+ device at the same time?
