Does the Timex Cycle Trainer remember to re-pair ANT+ accessories like speed / cadence sensors each time it statrs. I've heard you must re-pair

I set mine one time and never had to bother after that. When it worked it worked well. Sadly it has never worked for more than a few months for me. The GPS dies. I've ended up using it as a overpriced bike computer just using the ANT+ sensors.

Yes, you must pair-up every time. Getting the fixes for gps actually takes a little longer.AND you must also remember to press start. It is really not much of a hassle.

It does re-pair with sensors automatically, but it will not smooth power meter readings, so it becomes frustrating to try to control a number that is so erratic.

Ambit 2S is pretty good at linking with ANT+ devices - I've used it with two different, non Suunoto ANT+ bike sensors, and it recognized both of them with no issues. No experience with the Scoshe Arm Band, but if it's solid ANT+, it ought to work.

It depends on what devices you're going to be using. Garmin's cadence/speed sensors, and heart rate straps use ANT+, and seem to be the most common. If that's the case, this is what you'll need to pair your computer to the ANT+ devices, and allow you to use them with Trainer Road. It's also possible that the sensors you're going to be using are capable of Bluetooth Smart (BT 4.0). If that's the case, your computer may already be equipped to handle them. Wahoo Fitness makes cadence/speed, and heart rate sensors that are both ANT+ and Bluetooth 4.0 compatible. For more info, check out Trainer Road's "Getting Started" page.

The cycling computer, cadence pickup, wheel rotation pickup (both wireless), a wrist strap for using the ROX 6.0 while hiking/walking/running, a chest strap to measure heart rate, and instructions for mounting the pickups and the computer to the bike. There's also a download code to download Sigma's free Data Center software that you can use to track your training. **the Sigma Sport Docking Station (adapter to connect the ROX 6.0 to the computer) is NOT included** (but it's inexpensive). http://www.amazon.com/Sigma-Sport-Double-Docking-Station/dp/B00CLYL43U/ is the one for the ROX 6.0. There is another one that is *NOT* compatible with the ROX 6.0 - so don't buy that one.

I have both the BT 4.0 "smart" speed/cadence and heart rate monitors, they work simultaneously. It's up to the app to pair them. Runkeeper MTB just had to "unpair all" and re-discover to sync them the first time; Endomondo recognized both inmediately.

Yes! Just bought speed/cadence sensor last month and works perfectly with my 310xt. Suggest you buy the mounting bracket as well so you can detach and place the watch on your bike stem � Ride strong �

It the band for the heart rate sensor comes with the watch. If you need other sensors ( I.e.: cadence, speed, distances, etc) you have to buy them separately. The watch works with gps por speed and distance but does not measure cadence without the sensor. Hope this answer helps you.

Old discussion now, but I train pretty hard for various (running) races and I don't bother with a HRM, I know which 'zone' I'm in and how long I'll be able to run for based on speed and my breathing so all I need to know is distance and time, that gives me everything I need really, this has been a useful thread for me because I didn't know that the Ant+ was the only difference, so I'll just get the 205! What did you get in the end? Is it good?
638670
Yes. Any ANT+ combined Speed/cadence sensor should work. This is a good choice. The wahoo (with cable between speed and cadence sensor) might be a better option if your rear wheel does not overlap with pedal arm (f.ex. fullsuspension bike)

I use a Timex T5K541 Personal Trainer HR monitor and it works great. In general, the older model wireless heart rate monitors work with this unit because they use lower frequencies. The newer monitors are running at higher frequencies which means they should have fewer issues with signal interference but they won't work with this Oregon Scientific unit.

Yes. Anything ANT+ compatible will pair with this device. I have a GSC-10 speed+cadence sensor and a Garmin HR strap and a Powertap hub that all pair with this Suunto thumbs tick for use with TrainerRoad.

I used the Bluetooth to connect for heart rate in cyclometer. It worked fine in the past. I just upgraded to cyclemeter elite a few minutes ago and I can't seem to get my heart rate to show up. I'll keep working on it and let u know.

Thanks s. McMillan! I figured it out. I needed to download the software and update the watch. Working great now and love it. Don't know how I trained so long without it!

The unit comes with a quick setup guide in the box which is very straight forward on how to pair the devices. Once they are pair they remain paired, so there is no need to re-pair the receiver and transmitter each and every time prior to use.

I could not get my Timex to relyably communicate between its components. As a result I have no idea how to answer your question except to say that it kept accurate time - period. Trashed it. Seller learned of dissatisfaction, replaced it with a MIO, no cumbersome chest strap required, works great.

I use this with my Garmin 500 for cycling. it is Ant+ compatible ad was easy to sync.

Absolutely! I didn't do my homework leading to the purchase of my first Timex HRM. The second time around, I asked lots of questions, talked face to face with the sales dept in a local Dick's Sporting Goods. Same result. Know too that a coworker owns a Timex HRM and says it works fine. So maybe I'm using it wrong. For me, using the Timex HRM is not intuitive.
