Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Looking for reliable bluetooth cadence sensor for android app

I purchased a Wahoo Blue SC last January and it worked fine when my bike was on the trainer. When I took the bike on the road this spring the sensor began working intermittently, then quit completely. I replaced the battery and have adjusted and readjusted but at best, it works for a few minutes then quits again.

I'm looking for a reliable cadence sensor (with or without speed sensor) that will work with Ride with GPS on an android phone. Any recommendations?

I have lousy luck with Wahoo BlueSC too. Some think it's bomber, but to read DCRainmaker, there are some systemic issues with Bluetooth.

That said, I expect Wahoo's newer, discreet Spd/Cad sensors are more reliable.
