Is the cadence as accurate as the GSC 10 and stable? Interested in buying because my Powertap hub cadence fluctuates like crazy.

The cadence sensor just as accurate as the GSC 10 that I used to have. The only negative comment I have on the way that it reads is that there is a slight delay (one or two seconds) for it to read your cadence after you haven't been pedaling. So while riding, there is a short delay in the cadence reading when going from coasting to pedaling, however as long as you're continually pedaling it reads any differences basically immediately. I hope this helps.

I never had a GSC 10 but have been very happy with the new wireless cadence sensor - I have one on each of my bikes. Super easy, fast installation and accurate readings to my Garmin 800.

Accuracy I'm not sure of. It appears to be very stable no crazy spikes. I like it better than the GSC10.

Works great for me. Simplest installation- just stick it on and away you go. Make sure you check the garmin site to make sure you have a compatible head unit. I have an 800.. no problems yet.

It is better than powertap. Tried it on the track and got good data, but occasional drop outs occurred. Most likely because of interference from other riders.

The new magnet-free sensor works quite well in my experience. While I used to occasionally get erratic readings with the old magnet-based sensor, that hasn't happened with the new one that I've seen. So I'd say it's just as accurate as the magnet-based sensor if not more so.

Correct, the 1909 HR doesn't incl. cadence as I spent another $30 for it. I love the computer though as it does everything, clicks on & off easily and has large digits. Right after I got it, a piece broke & I called factory. They sent me a new head free, no questions asked. I would buy again due to features and terrific factory support. If you can't afford a Garmin, look at this unit.

Of ALL the things to worry about "Phase Mismatch" would be below "End of the World Meteor" worry. This monitor is as accurate as the PSNH meter in measuring power usage. I bought it to size my needs before installing a Generac 14KW Standby power generator and I am VERY pleased with it's operation and accuracy. Your power company is very concerned about keeping your Phase as close to 0 as possible and most do a great job. Unless you are buying your power from the Springfield Power company run by Charles Montgomery "Monty" Burns. Don't worry !

Not true on my unit. As soon as I plug in the USB power supply, it stops recording. I've contacted Garmin for clarification but no response yet.

As already mentioned, the whole deal. You'd need to purchase their docking adapter to use their (proprietary?) software package, however. Be sure to read the description closely since there are packages sold without the cadence sensor by some vendors. The "1909 STS Triple" has all three. The "1909 HR" (same computer) doesn't include the cadence sensor.

Many thanks for input on precision of Bell Dashboard 100 cyclometer. It measures absurdly accurate...to 1/1000 mile (every 5.28 feet...). Just great. BUT my next question...when I follow directions to reset DST (distance) function by simultaneously depressing both buttons, it does a total reboot requiring me to re-enter wheel circumference, mi vs km, clock time. I must be screwing something up, but neither my bike fanatic son-in-law nor I can figure it out. Any answer-women or answer-men out there...? Thanks, Befuddled John

I have a Dakota 10 and use it all the time for biking. True, it doesn't do any of the things Frank mentions. I guess I'm just interested in track, elevation and odometer, time, so it's perfect for that. Weather/temperature is applied when the tracklog is uploaded to Basecamp or Garmin Connect (although at this writing, the "new" Garmin Connect isn't correctly calculating distance on GPX files, so there's that.)

I own a fanatec csw v1, a logitech g27 and the Tx, this wheel is solid, and the reliability issues they had were fixed with firmware and hardware updates since they launch it. I use it as my main wheel over the fanatec

It's a very good inexpensive unit that will display cadence. It's very accurate in that you can enter the wheel diameter to your specific wheel and tire combo. Easy to switch between displays too. Just press down on the little icon on the bottom. You will have to deal with wires so if looks are important, this is not for you. It will NOT interface with your IPhone or download data to a computer. I use mine primarily to monitor cadence.

This unit is best for rider to passenger communication, not bike to bike because the range is limited. The Scala Rider Q3 or G9 are better choices. Thanks for askingFrank

Thanks N. Search YouTube for "Wonderland Garmin 405" that is what really peaked my interest.Ok, I was able to find the watch at City Sports. I love it and it finds satellites in about 30 seconds or so.I connected it via Garmin Connect fairly easily (using my Dell D620 Laptop and Windows XP), but I can't find how I can export the GPX files anywhere?

I bought the GEC8 live instead...very reliable with more functionality (midi, etc). Love it

I personally own a 1000G and 1500G, but, based on their performance, I would say that "a noisy zooming sound" is not normal! Other than the occasinal beep, due to power lose, they make just about no sound! I would recommend calling APC and talking to them about it! http://www.apc.com/site/support/index.cfm

I've had mine for over 2 years now. At that time, the SMH-10 was a "fits all" unit. I have no knowledge about any updated units, but I can tell you that you can either secure it with stick tape or via supplied clamp (I use the clamp). Never had any issues with fit, form or function. I do highly recommend this unit. It's never failed me, and has become a staple every time I ride.

Based on other users reviews, the 16.12 is a newer version of the 16.09 and both have the same functions. I don't use a docking station so the fact that the 16.12 uses a different one than the 16.09, doesn't matter to me If you want to utilize that feature, buy the 16.09 and dock. The computer is great but I haven't been able to get the cadence feature to work. One thing, don't lose the key tool for changing the battery or you will destroy the unit trying to open it.

I do inside runners on treadmill using my 920XT without foot pod and works quite good (I don't know what black magic garmin did to make it works). Maybe something with new HR3 and my previous run behaviour/style on GPS recorded tracks.

manyfacturer specs say 5cfm@90ps. my Setup is 9cfm@90. which is apparently not enough for this wench... but that's just my experience with it may be fine for u
