The Garmin speed sensor does not use an accelerometer. It uses a magnetometer against the Earth's magnetic field.

Also, Wahoo Fitness should be releasing such a sensor by spring (rumors). It would just be a software mode on the RPM cadence sensor they have already.
Thank you for this John. The Velocomputer sensor's mount is what I am looking for. $50 is pricey though.
I've wrapped the Garmin mount around the hub twice and was thinking of twisting it to take up some slack as you have suggested.
