Pairing magnetless speed sensor with second bike.

Former Member over 10 years ago

I have successfully paired my speed sensor with My track bike but having issues pairing the same unit with a second bike which has it's own profile on my Garmin 500. The garmin cannot find the speed sensor
even though I do have 'Speed and cadence sensor' selected in the settings for the second bike. BUT when I change the profile back to the track bike (with sensor still fitted to second bike's moving wheel) it immediately finds the speed sensor.

Am I doing something wrong or is it not possible to share the sensor between bikes on the edge 500?

Thanks,
Claude

Try the following file.

Place it in the Newfiles folder.

Alan - I finally got around to downloading the settings file last week and the issue is now fixed. Thanks.

However I found that running the sensor on the rear hub, while on the turbo, the speed is reading higher than expected (>30 kph at c. 150 watts or overall 36.4kph on a 199 watts average for 1 hour - which seems high). I also found it auto-pauses momentarily every minute or so. I have the wheel length set to manual at 2105mm. I can only assume there is some sort of interference with other metal bike bits when the sensor is on the rear hub. I find it fairly accurate when running on the front wheel of my track bike when corrolating against cadence and gear inches.
