Review by nblatchleyReviewed 11/12/2019by nblatchleyCycling EnthusiastLogan, OH7 of 7 customers found this review helpful.These work great with both my Edge 820 and Garmin Vivoactive Watch for both Road and Mtn BikeI use this these sensors on both my full suspension mountain bike and my road bike. I also connect them to both my Garmin edge 820 and my Garmin Vivoactive Watch. Set up was really easy in both cases, and I haven't had an issue since.

Review by MarylandCyclistReviewed 12/1/2022by MarylandCyclistCycling EnthusiastSilver SpringAn easy-to-setup way to measure speed, distance and cadence.These sensors are much easier to set up and use than the former speed and cadence sensor that used to have to be attached to the chain stay and then adjusted so that it could read the magnets on your rear wheel and crankarm. The only difficulty with installing, if you have clumsy fingers like me, is to stretch the band around the crankarm or the wheel hub and get it into the slots on the sensor. But once it's on, it's on. Seems to be very accurate. Now use these on all three of my bikes.

Review by JCW727Reviewed 7/20/2023by JCW727Cycling EnthusiastOshkosh WIgreat easy to install sensorsThis is the first set of sensors I have ever had. I love them. They connected to my devices very easily. The only thing I am going to work on is stopping the sensor from starting when i walk my bike.

Review by mechfishyReviewed 4/21/2022by mechfishyCycling EnthusiastVancouver, WA.Garmin Bike Speed Sensor 2 and Cadence Sensor 2 BundleBound easily to a Lezyne Super Pro GPS unit. In fact it works better than the Lezyne sensor's. Except that the GPS doesn't detect the battery charge. But it was spotty with the Lezyne sensors anyway. Even when new. I've only used the Garmin sensors a couple of times. But so far I'm very satisfied that they even work with the Lezyne GPS. The Lezyne sensors are really cheaply made and suck the battery down really fast. Even when not being used. The quality of the Garmin sensors is far superior. And the price isn't much more than the Lezyne sensors. So far I'm very satisfied with the Garmin sensors. I may have to buy another set.

Review by DocHReviewed 2/24/2022by DocHCycling EnthusiastModesto, CA3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Great for data nerdsThese guys are easy to install (much better than the previous generation) and work well. Connecting to my Edge 530 was easy and I don't notice any dropouts. The rubber bands seem sturdy and battery life is extremely good. The cadence sensor is essential if you're a data nerd. The speed sensor may not be so important, because the Edge also tracks speed. However, some online reviews suggest speed is measured more accurately by the sensor. You also need a speed sensor if you use an indoor trainer, or if you ride in an area where GPS frequently drops out due to buildings, trees, etc. I have a couple of speed sensors (one for each wheelset) -- they're a pretty cheap add-on if purchased in the bundle with the cadence sensor.

Review by corechargeReviewed 4/24/2023by corechargeCycling EnthusiastPDX MetroGarmin Bike Speed Sensor 2 and Cadence Sensor 2 BundleI have a Garmin Bike Speed Sensor 2 and Cadence Sensor 2 Bundle on every bike I own. Road, gravel, cross, mtn, and tandem. In years past I have tried some of the low cost imports but they never lasted. In the last 6 years I have not had any issues with Garmins speed and cadence sensors and Bike Tires Direct has always had the best price!

Review by WhizzyTReviewed 4/12/2021by WhizzyTCycling EnthusiastLouisville, KY3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Great OEM product that works flawlessly with Garmin bike computer. I bought this Garmin sensor bundle while on sale at biketiresdirect.com. I say that they were on sale because it was the lowest price that I have found anywhere for OEM components. So far these work flawlessly for my beater bike that is primarily rode during foul/winter weather. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase and could not be happier. By comparison I would often lose signal with cheaper aftermarket systems that would make concentrating on the ride a little more difficult. To a point you get what you pay for.
Thanks biketiresdirect.com!

Review by AhPaReviewed 1/21/2023by AhPaCycling EnthusiastWashington, DC2 sensors in one package - ExcellentI was using the magnetic version of the cadence sensor. Had to deal with the magnet placement as well as plastic straps to hold the sensor in place. The speed and cadence sensor bundle avoids the magnets and was very easy to install. Also, easy to link to my bike computer Apps.

Review by jdvadenReviewed 3/29/2021by jdvadenCycling EnthusiastLas Vegas5 of 5 customers found this review helpful.These worked as advertised immediately and they were very easy to install.The old cadence sensor required a magnet affixed to the crank and a transmitting unit located on the lower frame arm. Both required tight tolerances and easily could get out of alignment due to bumps or whatever. The new unit attaches to the left crank arm and can't get out of alignment. The speed sensor worked off the real wheel magnet and cadence/speed sensor. Again, the unit required tight tolerances and easily could be dislodged and require adjustment. The new speed sensor is great as it attaches to either hub and requires no further adjustment. Both units pair well with my Garmin Edge 500.
