Magnetless Speed Sensor Can't Set Manual Wheel Size

I picked up a magnetless speed sensor for my mountain bike, and it paired fine to my Garmin 520. But the problem I am having is that I can't manually set the wheelsize. When I choose the Manual option from my 520 setup screen, it shows 2096mm (standard road bike size). When I change it to 2068mm, and select the check mark to save it, it never seems to save the value and continues to show 2096mm.

I rode the bike yesterday for a mile or so with the Automatic detection on and it returned a value of 2002mm. Again, I tried to change that, and it wouldn't let me save the new value.

Any thoughts?
  • What software version do you have on the 520? This issue was fixed in

    • Fixed issue entering data for some settings (Crank Length, Wheel Size, Auto-Pause Speed).
    • Fixed issue when switching from one Time in Zone data field to another.
    • Fixed various Varia Vision issues.
    • Updated to correct software version numbering.
