Pairing with Edge and iPhone

BETTRAVE77 over 4 years ago

Hi,

I have a couple of questions:

Is it normal that my Edge 530 only shows the left pedal for connection (master/slave?) ? Should I see in sensors list both pedals?
On Garmin connect app on my iPhone, it says that the 3.80 update is available. I do the update and both pedals flashes. But on the app, a "new" update, the 3.80, is always available. Like it's never updating the pedals. However, on my Edge 530, it says 3.80 ...
My left pedal seems to be more free to turn than the right pedal. The right pedal has more resistance. Is it normal?

Thanks!

1. this is normal, you will only see one connection (left). The other pedal connects via the left, not directly

2. See this thread https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/cycling/f/vector-3/204628/edge-530-says-to-upgrade-pedals-to-3-80-but-connect-mobile-says-up-to-date-but-they-re-still-3-60

If I remember correctly, you need to connect Edge to computer with Garmin express, the Vector firmware will be downloaded to the Edge, and then transferred to the pedals from there. This kind of issue sometimes follows an 'update' on GCM for the phone (sometimes Android users complaining, other times iPhone), check you have the latest version

3. There is often a little 'stiffness' with a new set of pedals (just enough to slow the rotation to heaviest point downwards with gravity, but not otherwise enough to feel). This settles with use, but one side may be faster than the other ... see this thread forums.garmin.com/.../stiff-pedals
