Review: Great sensor works well with my Garmin - I have been using this sensor for over a year now with no complaints. It is as accurate as the more expensive units and has yet to fail.I will buy another if this one goes out.
Review: Not user friendly, best to avoid - Former bike shop mechanic, still very competent with repairs and maintenance. Bought these primarily for their price point, which suggested slightly nicer than cheap AliExpress, but not as expensive or feature packed as name brand. Somehow ended up with the worst of both worlds. Bought two. One had clearly been mounted and used previously. The other had a dead battery. Removing the cover to replace that battery is virtually impossible due to the design of the sensor (pry off cover secured with a large o-ring rather than a rotating and locking cover) and the material selection (very soft plastic cover that deforms and tears easily when using a flathead to pry it off per their instructions). By the time I was done the cover had pry marks and deformations I had to file down to get it to fit in the mount and the o-ring had long since been shredded. Once the battery was replaced, pairing was simple. Have only done small test rides, they seem to work fine, though the response rate seems a bit sluggish. Fine for casual use, but not as responsive as competitive riders would like to see. Overall, there are better options to spend your money on. UPDATE: Manufacturer since offered a refund. Which is fine, but I'd rather have a product that work. Since then I have been trying to use the sensors. One cadence sensor decided to uninstall itself from my crankarm mid-ride and has not been seen since. One speed sensor drained a full brand new battery between rides, and a second has not connected to my bike computer since the initial setup. Revised the review down and am shopping other brands for replacement. Buy right the first time and spend your money once.

## Features

- DEDICATED BIKE SPEED SENSOR: Don't be fooled by complicated & glitchy Speed/Cadence Sensor combination units. This bike sensor is engineered for unrivaled speed monitoring.
- INSTALLS IN SECONDS: Using the one-sized fits all adjustible rubber bracket, attach the bike sensor to either your front or rear bike hub. Works outdoors or on an indoor trainer or stationary bike.
- SMALLEST SPEED SENSOR: No one wants a bulky, heavy speed sensor. We spent over 6 months designing the smallest & lightest bike speed sensors available.
- USA ENGINEERED: Quality designed, manufacturing and tested by athletes. Big brand quality; small business value.
- IMMEDIATE PAIRING: Please note that you will need to pair this sensor to an external App or bike computer. Add the sensor when pairing it to the bike computer then, activate it and hold bike computer next to RPM cadence. To pair, shake the sensor and look for LED lights to blink. LEDs will disable after 30 seconds to save battery. Pair once and it automatically connects in the future. No more guess work or frustrating troubleshooting. Reach out if you have any issues!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ New fun for 25 year old spin bike - Wahoo, Zwift, etc.
*by K***) on February 8, 2024*

I attached the POWR-LABS speed sensor on the flywheel of my 25 year old Schwinn Spin Bike with 3M double-sided (not supplied). The sensor remains hidden behind the plastic chain guard. The chain guard had to be trimmed a bit to so that the sensor does not hit it. I tested the sensor with the Wahoo app on my Android tablet. It also works well with the Zwift app. Why I did not give the product five stars: It took me a while to figure out that the sensor was not broken. Once the sensor has detected movement, the blinking blue light above the white dot with the Bluetooth and ANT+ symbols did not light. The problem: The sensor arrived with a dead CR2032 battery. I bought a pair of new ones. I would recommend also buying the powr-labs CADENCE sensor and possibly a powr-labs heart rate monitor.
