Troubleshooting FAQ

Why won't my Cadence sensor pair to my phone?

  • To ensure that your Cadence sensor pairs directly to the app you have downloaded, please ensure you have an ANT+ adapter installed or that your phone is ANT+ compatible

​

I am struggling to get an RPM reading from the Cadence sensor and it doesn't show up under the list of sensors?

  • This can be caused by the sensor not being attached securely to your bike chain stay or the magnet is not correctly inline with the sensor. Please ensure that the magnet is directly inline with the sensor and the LED light flashes when the magnet is detected. 

​

Can I pair my Cadence sensor with another phone or app or ANT+ device?

  • Yes your Cadence sensor can be paired with more than one ANT+ device or phone/apps. If you are switching between devices or apps then you can still use your  sensor for different devices. Simply pair your sensor in the same way as before and you now have a Cadence sensor for multiple devices.  

 

Can I pair my Cadence Sensor to my phone app and ANT+ device at the same time?

  • No this is not possible because the Cadence sensor is ANT+ only and can only be paired to an ANT+ compatible device.
