Can you get a wheel/cadence sensor/transmitter and use your smartphone as the head unit/display and connect the two using WiFi or Bluetooth?

And before any smartarse says Endomondo or GPS it's for indoor use at a velodrome!

I googled "bluetooth cadence sensor" and got this in the first couple of hits:

You could also use an Ant+ dongle in your phone and a normal Ant+ cadence/speed sensor, but that would make your phone a bit more bulky.

No experience of either though I'm afraid - I've got a Garmin for this sort of thing 🙂

Thanks for Googling that for me 😉

I actually didn't know about Ant+, so could wait until I get a newer phone which has it built-in and use one of the cheap transmitters. Cheers!
