Garmin Speed Cadence Sensor Replacement Parts Kit

Refresh Your Ride with Reliable Sensor Components

Keep your cycling data precise and uninterrupted with this dedicated replacement parts kit designed specifically for Garmin speed and cadence sensors. Whether you've misplaced a magnet during a muddy trail adventure or need to swap out worn bands after countless miles, these components ensure your setup stays as responsive as day one. Cyclists rely on accurate speed and cadence metrics for training insights, performance tracking, and indoor sessions—don't let small parts failures derail your progress.

Essential Components for Peak Performance

This kit equips you with the exact pieces needed to restore functionality: durable magnets for wheel speed and pedal cadence detection, secure mounting bands, housing units, and fastening hardware. Crafted from high-quality, weather-resistant materials, they withstand rain, grit, and vibration without compromising signal strength. Pair them with your existing Garmin sensor pod for seamless ANT+ wireless connectivity to bike computers, edge devices, or fitness apps.

Step-by-Step Installation for Any Rider

1. Prep your bike: Clean the rear wheel spoke and crank arm where components will mount. A quick wipe removes debris that could interfere with adhesion.
2. Attach the speed magnet: Slide it onto a rear wheel spoke, positioning it close to where the sensor pod will sit (typically 1-2 cm gap for optimal detection).
3. Secure the cadence magnet: Position it on the inside of the crank arm, aligning with the sensor's scan area. Use the included housing and bands for a snug fit.
4. Mount the sensor pod: Wrap it around the chainstay using the bands, ensuring it's within range of both magnets. Tighten just enough to prevent slippage during sprints.
5. Test the connection: Spin the wheel and pedal—your Garmin device should instantly pick up readings. Fine-tune positions by half-spoke increments if needed.

Pro tip: For indoor trainers, mount everything on your rear wheel as usual; the setup works flawlessly on stationary bikes, giving you consistent data without recalibration.

Why These Parts Matter for Serious Cyclists

• Boost training accuracy: Precise RPM and speed data helps dial in intervals, power zones, and efficiency—essential for road racers, gravel grinders, and commuters alike.
• Extend sensor life: Proactive replacements prevent full sensor failure, saving time and hassle mid-season.
• Versatile compatibility: Works with popular Garmin models and third-party ANT+ devices, integrating into apps like Strava or TrainingPeaks for deeper analysis.
• Lightweight and low-profile: No added bulk means aerodynamics stay intact on fast descents.

Maintenance Tips to Maximize Longevity

Store spares in a dry ziplock to fend off corrosion. After wet rides, rinse magnets gently and air-dry. Inspect bands monthly for stretch, replacing proactively. If signals drop intermittently, check magnet alignment first—misplacement causes 90% of glitches. These simple habits keep your metrics trustworthy season after season.

Troubleshooting Common Hiccups

No speed reading? Verify wheel rotation direction matches sensor expectations (flip magnet if backward). Cadence ghosting? Tighten crank mount and reduce pedal speed during pairing. Battery low? Though parts-focused, a fresh CR2032 in the pod revives everything. Most fixes take under five minutes with this kit on hand.
