MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Having survived two whole turbo sessions with just videos for inspiration.
I'd quite like to get a grasp of what i'm actually doing on the bike.
I'm taken with the concept of the sensors that band on rather than fannying about with wee magnets from bike to bike.
Whats the go to set for an android phone?
I just ordered a set of onlydroid CooSpo sensors off amazon as a cheap way to get zwifting.
1/3rd of a garmin set.
Reviews seem solid enough for trainer bike use.
The garmin ones work fine with android phones no idea about any others.
Don't know if they still sell them in their bike stuff sales, but the Lidl one from two years back was a re-badged Wahoo kit (Bluetooth only).
I've got the CooSpo H6 HRM earmarked at Amazon, as it does Bluetooth and ANT+ for £24, the dual-mode cadence kit for £20 looks a good deal too.
The coospo ones appear to be magnet jobs on the wheel?
I wondered about the garmins but where i've looked they only talk about joining to garmin units?
Garmin in my experience are the best if you want thave get the 'magnet less type'. They only transmit ant+ so don't do Bluetooth. This might be an issue for using it with zwift since most phones won't receive the signal (although I think a few android devices might work).
I have a wahoo magnet less cadence and speed sensors, and although they transmits Bluetooth, so work with trainerroad in my case on my iPhone, the cadence sensor is hopeless outside. It uses accelerometers and gets confused on bumpy roads. The Garmin in comparison detects the earths magnetic field (I think), but in any case works much better outside.
The wahoo blue sc works perfectly but needs magnets stuck to crank and wheels. To be honest I think this is my favourite since it works well and transmits both Bluetooth and ant+. Maybe not ideal for mtb use since the clearance been sensor and magnet needs to be tight.
I had the same idea, but when I got a new turbo last week (Tacx Blue) that comes with magnetic ones, I can't for the life of me work out how to get it to sync to my Edge 520.
I've just got a Wahoo cadence on thats magnet free, it can even attach to your shoe.
