Another question:
I have two options for a cadence monitor:
-
Garmin Bike cadence sensor
-
older Garmin GSC 10 speed sensor
From what I found out, the first one is all self contained and has no external parts. But, I was wondering if anyone here has used either of these and would recommend getting one over the other ?
Both sensors that you linked will provide both speed and cadence. As mentioned, the speed sensor is more accurate than GPS speed, but not sure how important that is to you if you find a cadence only sensor. I've used the Garmin GSC 10 for years and it performed flawlessly. I've heard good things about the newer Garmin, but not sure if its worth the extra $ just to eliminate the magnet. Others using it may chime in.
