Cadence sensor won't fit!

Hi all,

I just got an Edge 830 sensor bundle. When i went to install the cadence sensor, i found that it won't between the crank arm and the frame on my Trek Checkpoint. No position on the inside of the crank arm will fit. I guess i could put it on the outside of the crank arm, but that will surely be annoying and I'll eventually kick it off. Any other creative ideas? Bummer :/

Also, my speed sensor arrived with a dead battery, but that's not the end of the world.

Yes...On the crank. Works like a charm. Thank you!

Yeh. My solution has been to put it on the outside of the crank down low by the pedal. It's mostly ok and only rarely do i kick it off there. More toward the pedal end of the crank and i tend to kick it off more. It's pretty annoying in general :/

Yea thats the main reason I don't use it on the outside. I think I could try a different, slimer shoe to see if that works. A bit too late now but I could put on a frame protection sticker on there to prevent more scratching.

Moving it to the drive side crank arm could also be another solution.

Doesn't work because it hits the derailleur

This probably isn't the solution you're looking for but many power meters also broadcast cadence, thus eliminating the need for a separate cadence sensor.

Thank you. I have one on order and was very concerned about clearance.
