My Garmin GSC-10 unit has been somewhat tempremental of late, and now the speed arm sensor has given up the ghost.
I'm wondering if I should just buy a new GSC-10 (as the unit is way out of warranty) or perhaps the following at roughly half the price.

Anyone out there using, or have experience, of one of these?
You're the light wiping out my batteries; You're the cream in my airport coffee's.

    yep use mine with no problems at all.
    Only issues I've had was the original I bought had a duff battery, I changed the battery and it killed that in two weeks.
    eventually brought it back, had it replaced with a new unit no worries since. You can use either the rubber straps supplied or tie wraps.

    No. You'd need a bluetooth sensor.

    ..got the same one branded as Giant....works fine so far after 4 weeks, maybe just a hint of transmission delay compared to the GSC10, only really noticeable when starting, the RPM seems to take a sec or 2 longer to show. ....maybe not the most elegant design, but I can live with that.... I also double secured it with black insulation tape (matt black frame so all looks good enough)... I didn't use the crank magnet supplied but instead an aftermarket one off ebay about the size of a 5p that sits nicely on the inside end of the pedal spindle...

    ..oh, and I use the Edge 500...
