I have just got a new Garmin 520. I have previously had the 820 and everything was fine with that ( barring the usual problems).
The issue I have is that I have got a GIANT Propel advanced with ride sense on it and I also use a WHYTE Suffolk for communing/winter etc.
When I use the GIANT the Garmin will pick up the ride sense sensor and give me cadence and speed as long as I have the magnet on the wheel, but will only give me cadence if no magnet present. I think the magnets on the wheel look a bit unsightly and are prone to coming off. It will not allow me to use GPS for speed ?
If I use the WHYTE I can just use the old Garmin cadence/speed unit to just record cadence and use the GPS for speed and distance.
I have just bought the new Garmin speed sensor for the GIANT that goes on the hub but now the unit will not pick both up sensors it is either cadence or speed depending on which sensor I choose.
I always thought that the unit would pick up any sensors present and give read out from those.
