Wahoo RPM Cycling Cadence Sensor for Outdoor, Spin and Stationary Bikes, Blue

I recently bought a myx bike second hand and realized pretty immediately that there was no way for me to know how fast I was pedaling (you would think that's a basic feature the bike would come with, right?!) Anyway, after researching different cadence trackers, I decided to go with the only one that would pair with the bike (this one). Ultimately, I wanted something that wasn't bulky like the one with their own screens so I but the bullet and bought the expensive option. Installation of the product was very easy, the bike was able to detect and pair with the sensor flawlessly. It is designed very sleek so you don't even notice it (attached to the inside of your pedal). Based on the speed of the videos and my pedaling, the reading seem to be accurate. It's just nice to be able to see the cadence right on my screen instead of having a separate attachment. I know the sensor has other features like tracking data on an app, but I don't use that feature. The only thing that bummed me out is that the battery it came with only had 20% battery.

I love wahoo!! Always pretty accurate!! Easy to install too.

I bought this for my Schwinn IC4 Spin bike. A GREAT spin bike by the way. Instead of buying a Peleton that limits what apps you can use to train, I bought the Schwinn and a refurbished iPad from Apple.I’ve been training using both the ZWIFT app and Apple Fitness's Spin classes.The only bummer about this spin bike is the cadence (RPM) readout only gives you a “range” and not a specific RPM measurement. The spin classes I do instruct a specific target cadence so I wanted something to narrow that down for me with this spin bike.I Google spin bike cadence devices and the Wahoo was one of the top rated. It was only $30 or so that made it low risk.It works great!You download the free app. Synch the device to the app. Then attach the one device to your shoe or one of the bikes crank arms.They give you a piece of double stick tape, zip ties and a bracket to hold the device to your crank arm, and another gizmo to attach the device to your shoe.Since it has a 2032 battery that I have no idea how long it will last, I chose to mount it to my crank arm using a small velcro patch. That way I can pop it off real easy if/when the battery needs replacing.It works great. I put my phone on top of my iPad and once I start cranking away the cadence shows up. I don’t have to resynch or anything, the readout on the app populates immediately.I was hoping to also be able to open the Wahoo app on my Apple watch but apparently that is not an option. No biggie…Two thumbs up!

I haven't tried out any of its more expensive peers but I like this for what it is. It's affordable, easy to install, small, and broadcasts right to your phone. First some background, I use this on a Spin Bike in my garage. I Spin with this keeping my cadence, and using the Peloton app on my iPad for the class itself. It's a great workout and a good way to stay in shape without having to leave your house to do it.Is it easy to install? Yes. It comes with an adhesive strip as well as a cradle (if you prefer to attach it that way, I did not) that you can use to attach it directly to the crank arm of your pedal. It pops right on and I've had no issues with it staying on whatsoever. If you need/want to you can easily remove it and buy new adhesive tape from your local hardware store or CVS to reattach it somewhere else.Is it easy to get it on your phone? Yes. You just download the Wahoo Fitness app, turn on Bluetooth and connect it to the piece on the crank arm. It comes with a little metal wand you wave over the device to activate it (how it does that I don't know but when I waved it over it, it worked). You then go through a few steps to set it up the app and your (free) account and you're all set. After that when you want to use it you just go into the app and hit start workout and you're good to go.Is it accurate? To be honest, I don't know. It's definitely on a bit of a delay, you can see at times the cadence doesn't drop or increase as quickly as you do in real life but it's not a big delay, maybe a second or two. For some people I'm sure this is a big issue but for me it doesn't matter. I'm not training for a race or anything like that I'm just riding a bike in my basement and needed something cheap to use to measure how I was doing. It definitely accomplishes that and is close enough to accurate that if I were to get more serious I wouldn't be in any rush to replace it. That said, the slight delay is the reason it gets 4 stars instead of 5.Overall I'm really happy with this product and would recommend it to anybody for any stationary bike, and to most people for a road bike. For the price you can't beat it!

I bought this for my stationary bike so that I could ride in apps on Meta Quest 3. It instantly hooked up with each app, no problems. The only minor thing....the battery died after a couple of hours of use. So I had to replace that, which isn't all that easy once the sensor is installed on the bike with zip ties. LOL But I managed. Here's hoping the new battery lasts more like it's supposed to (a year or so of use).
