Hi guys,

When i use my turbo trainer and switch on the edge, i disable the gps function but the speed sensor doesnt seem to display any speed, is this normal?

does the speed/distance counter rely solely on the GPS function being enabled? if so, why have a speed sensor thing on the back wheel??

    Have you paired the speed/cadence sensor? Do you have the wheel size set to manual or auto-calibrate? If auto then change that to manual and input your wheel size.

    The speed/cadence sensor should kick in when GPS is off or the signal strength is very low.
    More problems but still living....

    Anything quirky you had to do?

    i realised that my speed sensor wasnt actually being registered, it was about 1mm away from being picked up.
