Edge 1030 shows incorrect speed

Hello,
I have seen that since a while my 1030 shows a wrong speed. At slow speeds my speedometer shows 7-9 km/h and the 1030 round about 4km/h.
At speeds like 20-25km/h the 1030 shows ca. 13km/h and when Im speeding down the mountain 40-45km/h the 1030 shows 25-30km/h.
I have a cadence sensor and a speed sensor from garmin connected.
Its not always like this and somethimes its working correctly.
Any idea?

My guess would bee that the speed sensor are set to automatic detection of wheel circumference.
Measure the wheel and set it manually to the sensor,

I was thinking the speed sensor battery, tho I'd expect a low battery warning, or more consistent dropouts...

This was my first thought, this would be the second step in troubleshooting.

How to do it?

How to do it?

Access the settings page, click "Sensors" choose the desired speed sensor (when it is broadcasting) and look around for the wheel circumference setting.
I don't have my edge at hand now so I can't give a more detailed description than this at the moment.

Here is a link to help you set it correct:

Ok, everything is clear, thank you. I was looking for this option in the right place, but on the off sensor.

Hello, after changing the circumference everything worked like a charm. Thanks!
