Digital camera reviews of Garmin GSC 10 Speed/Cadence Bike Sensor
Digital camera Review: Best investment ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this to compliment my Garmin 310XT. I run a lot, but also like to ride trails with my son. Very easy to install and accurate.LOVE IT!!Digital camera Review: Better Than Expected
Summary: 5 Stars
As another poster said, I was concerned when I received the box because no where did it refer to the Forerunner (only the Edge). I installed it anyway and much to my surprise it was quick and easy to install and it paired very easily as well. It works flawlessly with my Forerunner.Digital camera Review: Cadence Sensor for Garmin Edge

Relatively easy to install. Make sure to force the head unit to scan for the cadence unit after installation.Digital camera Review: Cadence sensor
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got this for Christmas. I mounted it on my bike it was very easy to mount. A couple wire ties. The hard part was figuring out I needed to tell my 310xt to look for it. Once I figured that out it synced right up. I took it out for a short ride to test it. Not sure what function the speed serves as the watch has gps that picks up the speed. Maybe if you are riding somewhere with heavy tree coverage you could still get speed. I use mine on a road bike so I am not sure about this. I like having this other data point to look at post workout. I am also able to check cadence during my ride.Digital camera Review: Cool toy!
Summary: 4 Stars
I am not a hard core bicyclist, and I am also not an athlete in training. What I am, is an old man who likes to get out there and "get-er-done" when the conditions are good! A recent heart attack (my second now) has encouraged me to "monitor" myself while working out and or playing hard. The first heart attack happened while off road motorcycling, and the second happened part way into a 10 mile back country hike. I choose the Garmin Forerunner 305 with the heart monitor as the core components of the "monitoring" duties. This Cadence sensor gets used to record "cadence only" when mounted to the mountain bike. I do not use it to measure distance or speed in that configuration (the GPS in the Forerunner is very accurate). It mounted right up to my old Stump Jumper with only minor modifications to the magnet mounting scheme. It looks like it will hold up pretty well to the abuse's I will subject it to, but time will tell (only 2 off road adventures, and one road trip so far). However, this Cadence sensor gets daily use while mounted to my elliptical trainer (Schwinn 430). Because the sensor is magnetically activated, there is no operational noise (keeps the wife happy). I have been able to calibrate it so it reports cadence, distance, speed, and calorie expenditure, to within less than a 3% error relative to what the elliptical trainer reports. It allows me to keep records of all my indoor workouts, and helps me build up slowly to a predetermined goal rather than just working out according to "what feels right". I'm actually thinking about buying another one of these sensors so I can leave one permanently mounted to my bicycle, and one mounted permanently to the elliptical machine! I can switch it back and forth between the two right now in just a few minutes, but the sensor is cheep enough that the hassle may not be worth it. All in all, this sensor coupled with the Forerunner 305 and the heart monitor has filled the requirements for my data gathering needs. I would recommend this product to a friend.
