I've been using the rare earth magnets for a couple of years - just pop them onto the rear of the pedal axel, and the range is enough to trigger the Garmin. Sooo much neater (invisible) and no ugly cable ties. Only need glue if the axel is slightly proud of the rear of the crank.

PS you can get 10 for about £2.99. Someone is making a mint on ebay advertising as cadence magnets !!

They sure are but the 2.99 was well spent IMO.

Hi

My Garmin GSC10 crank magnet fell off the other day and it got me thinking about potential alternatives to this unit for measuring speed/cadence.

I don't mind using the GPS for speed as I've been doing that for a while as on my previous wheels the magnet used to catch but I'd need speed for my turbo. Ideally want it to be as neat as possible (getting a new bike so don't want it to look horrible now do I :-)

One (expensive) solution seems to be the new magnet-less Garmin sensors as I could attach the cadence to the crank and the speed to my turbo wheel and leaving outdoor rides to be measured by GPS. This seems to be the cleanest solution but £60!!! :-/

Any ideas?

Cheers

You can get a cadence-only version of this new doodad for £35 if you don't want the speed option. Choose the "cadence only" version here

But be aware that it has limited compatibility compared with the GSC10. (Just done a bit more research: The outdoor units like the Oregon require a combined speed/cadence sensor not individual sensors which is what the new doodad is. However, they don't use the speed info, so it's all a bit daft)
