Hi everyone this is my first time posting here and I would like to raise the following 2 points about using a speed/cadence sensor with the Garmin Edge 25:
Setup
Garmin Edge 25 Firmware: 3.30 - which ironed out the issue of using the speed sensor when outdoors
ANT+ Speed/Cadence Sensor: Bontrager Interchange Digital Combo Sensor - chose this as its an all in one unit and does the job for both indoors/outdoors
First issue is if the battery dies on the speed/cadence sensor the stats read 0.0kmh speed even though you are moving and the GPS does not kick in - its a pain as you need to stop and then disable the sensor (on the Garmin) and save the ride and start a new one - hardly ideal if you are in the middle of a segment - this is a flaw that could do with ironing out.
Secondly when I stop in the middle of a segment for a coffee break or otherwise I noted that the time elapsed is actually being added to a strava segment which is not very good in my opinion. I use auto-pause so maybe this is the issue? Again I think this is something that should be looked into - I can provide ride data if need be.
I understand Garmin that you may not wish to comment on the use of third party products but we should be able to as consumers pick what works best for our needs/setups.
