For those that have upgraded to sw3.30, have you noticed a difference to the average cadence total for your rides? I've changed from the Garmin magnet to a neodymium magnet that hides on the back of the pedal spindle and thinking this might be the cause of low averages and spikes in max speed of upto 60mph.

    I do not know the answer to your question, sorry, but I lost my magnet and wondered how best to replace it?

    I had the same using the mavic wheel magnet.

    Went back to the Garmin and everything is fine.

    Looks like it's a new way of calculating the average cadence with sw3.20. In the past it was calculated on the time you were actually pedalling. Now it is a true mean figure calculated on the overall ride time/distance. Went back to the Garmin cadence magent today and the results are the same as with the neodymium I've been using recently.

    Didn't they put in additional options for autopause and zero-averaging? Mainly for the power measurement folks. Maybe they also changed the defaults when they were at it.

    Forgot about that option in the menu. Had the zero averaging turned on since the update and I think I had it turned off before.
    Just did a quick 32second sprint across the living room and the cadence figures are as before, woefully low.

    Thanks Jon.

    Is this your living room?

    I imagine that I would struggle to get more than 1 rev before crashing into a wall. And it would take a lot less than 32 seconds! :shock:
    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    Mine on 3.3 seems fine. Just checked yesterday's ride and 89rpm average.

    A little mis-truth, the sprint was stationary with the back wheel raised up with some start-stop crank rotation.
