Awesome!!!
I purchased this product about a month ago. I just got into cycling and i wanted something that would help me keep track of my rid es. The two magnets that come with this: one is placed on the spoke of the back tire and the other is placed on the crank arm so you will have to remove pedal on your bike to get it in place. Setup is easy. Wahoo also has a Bluetooth Heart Rate Chest Strap that works in unison with these other sensors. You can even upload your ride data to other apps such as Strava. Definitely 5 Stars!!! …

First available Bluetooth Smart bike sensor!
A terrific little gadget for the avid cyclist. The only sensor currently available that uses low-energy Bluetooth Smart, so that t he sensor battery should last over a year. Uses a standard replaceable watch battery inside. It is waterproof and mounts solidly, so it's fine for both road and trail use. The only problem is that the magnet and rubber loop for the sensor will not fit on larger-diameter aluminum mountain bike frames with thick crank arms and chainstays. Also, it has a slight tendency to be tilted by a fraction of an inch during use or transport, which may cause loss of sensor readings and require a quick re-adjustment. But overall, a must-have accessory. Works great with Cyclemeter. The speed reading is much more accurate than GPS. …

Positive feelings, though MapMyRide does not support
I agree with others that this is a slick device that is easy to use. Wahoo has a free app that lets you track your ride and uploa d to other online tracking sites, as is mentioned in the description. The only drawback for me that I hope will be remedied soon is that my (former) MapMyRide app did not connect to the Bluetooth sensor. I suspect MMR might be preparing their own sensor to sell, but it could just be the new Bluetooth connection. Just a heads up if you plan to keep using MMR on your smartphone. I still think MMR is the superior ride mapping site, though it currently takes several steps of exporting and importing to get my Wahoo rides onto it. …

Fantastic sensor!
If you want to go the Bluetooth route for some or all of your sensors - and there are very good reasons to do so if you are using your iPhone for workout tracking - then this is the combo speed/cadence sensor to get. Easy to install, dealing well with all manner of bizarre frame geometries (and I've tried it on all 5 :) of my bikes), and is detected pretty much instantly in the app. Every once in a while I get cadence spikes when I hit big bumps, but that's usually because the magnet on the crank is too CLOSE to the sensor - it might actually be striking the sensor at that point. If I re-adjust and tighten everything up I see the problem go away.
As a side note, the Wahoo Fitness iPhone app works great, shows tons of different stats, and exports to pretty much every one of the main tracking web sites, in pretty much every one of the major formats in use today. That said, this sensor works perfectly with all the apps that know how to talk through Bluetooth to SC sensors - and that is a LOT of apps. :) …- Written by Jeffrey C from Kirkland

Speed sensor problem
it detected the cadence sensor, but not the speed sensor. I tried everything to make it work, but no luck; even took the magnet an d passed it by the sensor every way possible and still nothing. I called apple and they quickly raised a UPS return label and about 10 minutes later I got an email letting me know that a new one was comin my way. Hopefully this one works fine. Kudo to apple for their service, but not so much Wahoo for a lack of quality control. …

Like the product but doesn't fit Specialized Roubaix
The Wahoo sensor is well made and integrates well with the Wahoo app, unfortunately though I could not fit it to my Specialized Ro ubaix. The oversized carbon fibre chain stays meant that there just isn't enough clearance for the magnet and the sensor arm to be able to pass each other. At best I need I think it needs at least another 1/4 to 1/2 inch.
I've given them a 4 star rating as I believe that if it fits the bike then it would be a great product and obviously catering for every bike manufacturer is always a difficult task. …- Written by Adam S from Amsterdam

It won't work with the 3GS because that phone doesn't have Bluetooth Smart. Get the Wahoo Bike Pack receiver for the 3GS and an ANT+ sensor instead. …

If I use the SC Sensor with Cyclemeter, is Cyclemeter's GPS functionality supposed to work in conjunctionwith the Sensor?
- Asked by Frederik H from Melville
- Feb 6, 2013
Answer
Your speed and cadence as measured by the SC will be recorded in Cyclemeter. Your GPS location will also be tracked on the map in Cyclemeter because the GPS still keeps running. This is the best possible combination. The speed measurement from the SC is much more accurate than what is computed from the GPS. All of this happens automatically as long as your SC is correctly paired. The other stats like stopped time, average speed, etc. are all determined from the SC's speed measurement by the way. As a tip, also get an external Blueooth GPS for your iPhone like the Dual GPS to save battery life. Look it up. …

Do you have to turn the phone app on and off to record the rides? It sounds like you don't but I wanted to double check.
- Asked by Sara C from San Francisco
- Oct 1, 2012
Answer
There are different fitness apps like Cyclemeter that need to be actively running to record the spee d and cadence data from the sensors while you're riding, so that you can view it on a graph or export it. But if you don't have your phone with you during the ride, the sensor itself will at least keep track of the total distance travelled and can then update Wahoo's own odometer app the next time the phone and sensor communicate again, but nothing more detailed. …
