Computer Trouble

Hi all,

I currently have a bontrager trip 300 paired to a duo trap s speed and cadence sensor through ant+.

I am planning on soon upgrading to a garmin edge 25 computer and am going to pass my bontrager computer to someone else in my house.

I was wondering if I need to unpair the sensors or anything like that before pairing to the new computer. I'm not the familiar with ant+ and how it operates. I'm wanting to be able to use the same speed and cadence and have the new computer while the other person uses my old computer and a new cadence sensor. I don't want to change cadence sensors because my current one fits in my chain stay.

Thanks,

Jackson Eaker

    No don't worry. Just get the new garmin and pair away.

    You don't have to unpair. It might be worth doing it just because it would be easier for the new user of your current head unit to select their sensor without yours in the list. Your sensor will happily work with your new Garmin.

    You don't really pair ANT+ sensors. The sensors just broadcast their data and any ANT+ head unit can see the data and use it. The "pairing" is really just telling your head unit which ANT+ sensors to listen to so if their are multiple sensors you only see the data for yours.
