The Salsa Vaya (and hopefully the forthcoming Motorless City bike) has the rear disc brake cable run along the top of the chain stay, which means the Garmin GSC-10 (Speed\/Cadence Bike Sensor)<\/a> cannot cleanly fit on the bike (photo<\/a>). To work around this I picked up the Wahoo Cycling Speed\/Cadence Sensor<\/a>\u00a0(a compatible ANT+<\/a> device) and thus far it seems like it’ll work just fine.\u00a0I had no problems hanging both sensors below the chainstay, and my Garmin Edge 510<\/a>\u00a0quickly picked up the sensor and was able to get both wheel rotation and cadence data from it.<\/p>\n

This setup isn’t as attractive as Garmin’s single unit, and the need to double the cable back on itself looks a bit sloppy, but it does offer more flexibility and overall it should work out fine. I was also a bit disappointed that it doesn’t feature a Garmin unit-like test button\/LED which makes setup super easy. It’s a bit higher priced than the Garmin sensor, so it’d be nice if it was at least identical feature-wise. It’s also a bit awkward how the entire sensor body needs to be pivoted in towards the spokes instead of a small\/discrete arm, but I do think it’ll work out fine.<\/p>\n

Since this was a test mounting I was a bit careless with the cable ties and didn’t peel the adhesive pads off of the cadence sensor, making for sloppy work. I intend to leave this (with its ugly, temporary fittings) in place for a month or so, and then hopefully after that it’ll be in place on the Motorless City bike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
