I have the Wahoo RFLKT+ and have had no issues with it except some minor hiccups on initial setup. I have never had it loose connection with my phone. I keep my phone either in a pocket on the front strap of my backpack or in my rear side jersey pocket.

I started out with the Wahoo RPM, which IS magnet-less, as it uses an accelerometer. It actually seems to work great.

My only complaint was with no speed sensor, I was relying only on GPS for speed. Usually this was OK, but sometimes poor signal would mean slow speed updates, and when you stop (such as at a light) it seemed to keep at the last measured speed for a bit (with the Wahoo app at least) which annoyed me.

For this reason I decided to get the Wahoo speed and cadence sensor, which requires magnets. I put this on one bike, and moved the RPM to a second bike.

I haven't tried the ANT+ bridge yet, however I do have one bike with ANT speed/cadence sensor so I will try it soon enough.


Re: magnetless sensors - is there a magnet less speed sensor? how would that work? Seems like mounting an accelerometer on the wheel would be a bit strange as they are larger than magnets. Also if they are ANT+ you can STILL use them with the RFLK+ or similar ANT+ bridge (I have also seen HR monitors with ANT+ bridges).
