Sensor configuration

In Edge 1000 - I just test it - we can set the value we want for the wheel size in the configuration of the speed sensor. In the Edge 1030 the size is limited to 3000. Can Garmin override this??? Because the same wheel size I´ve used in the 1000 just give me 25% of the speed - and of course distance - in the 1030.
  • The problem is not the wheel size. It sounds like you are trying to fix a problem by inflating the wheel size to get around the problem, rather than fixing the problem.

    Can you post the activity file and settings file?

    What brand/model of speed sensor are you using?

    A wheel circumference of 3000 equates to a wheel that is 954 cm (37.5 inches) in diameter. If that is giving you only 25% of your desired value, I'd like to see a pic of your bike with 12.5 foot (3.8 meter) wheels!

    Something else you are not telling us is obviously going on here.

    Going over a wheel size of 3000 could be useful when try to simulate distance on an Indoor Bike. I gave up on my DKN X motion.
  • I´m using the sensor that came with Edge 1030.
    I use it for my indoor bike classes. Attached you can see the distance with Edge 1000 with the wheel size set manually arround 1350 and the other is the Edge 1030 with wheel size set to 3000.ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1285113.png
  • I really need to see the activity file and settings file to know what is going on.

    What size is the wheel? 1350 is pretty small.

    The next time you do this can you record the same activity on both head units. The 2 rides you posted are different rides so other things may have affected the speed sensor readings.

    Do you have the sensor placed on the rear hub of bike mounted on a stationary trainer?
  • Hi,
    I don´t have an Edge 1000 now to record the same activity on both but the diference between classes is minimum in time and in distance wasn´t never more then 1km. The speed sensor is near the cadence sensor in the bike crank (as the Edge was) because I use many diferent bikes. One of them have an computer and I was able to set the wheel size on the Edge 1000 comparing with that computer.
    Can you tell me what activity you want? From what app??? I can search if i´ve got the same class (uploaded to strava) on both the Edge 1000 and 1030.
    Thanks...
  • The speed sensor is ... in the bike crank...

    I can't figure out what that looks like...

    You should post a foto of your configuration (and send an activity-fit-file for Alan).
  • Is this the GSC-10 a combined speed/cadence sensor that uses a magnet?

    Any activity that uses the set-up you are describing and has what you believe to be an incorrect distance.
  • See answer #5:
    I´m using the sensor that came with Edge 1030.

    (Is not possible he uses the axle-sensor on the crank, or...?)

  • I really need to see a picture of this set-up as the description is confusing me. The BSS will only operate correctly when mounted around the hub.

    The comments about using the 1000 suggested that data was collected prior to getting 1030 so I was thinking that the speed sensor came with the 1000 and not the 1030.
