hi all need advice if poss. ive invested in the above computer.ive got three bikes and only two sensors what do most of you lads do. do you use sensors or just use head unit on gps. if i use just the head unit on gps do i leave the wheel size that ive entered on custom or put it on auto the reason i ask is that two bikes are 700 23 and the other is 700 32. also do you have comp record data on smart record or every second record any advise would be most helpfull or just buy extra sensor

    Set the profiles of the 2 bikes with sensors to the correct wheel size for each bike. Just use the the 3rd bike on GPS and set the profile to no sensor. Wheel size is not relevant on GPS. Do not use auto on the others, it does not always work properly.

    Or just buy a 3rd cadence sensor, you can pick them up reasonably cheap if you don't buy direct from Garmin. Simply create a 3rd bike profile.
    I ride a bike. Doesn't make me green or a tree hugger. I drive a car too.
