Pairing multple speed and cadence sensors to one Garmin device.
« on: 02 January, 2024, 07:52:35 am »
Is it possible to pair two or more sets of speed and cadence sensors to one Garmin device? I've paired two chest straps, but I don't have two sets of speed and cadence to try.

I currently have 3 (or possibly 4) cadence sensors and 2 speed sensors paired to my Garmin Edge 530. All on different bikes, obviously! I haven't had any problems with this setup.

If I use a different bike, the computer pops up a notification: "Cadence sensor ***** is active, is this correct?" Selecting yes enables the appropriate sensor.

Edit: I had the same setup with my previous Edge 130 and 500 computers as well.
Born to ride my bike, forced to work! ;)

You can even rename them so the pop up tells you you’re detecting the correct ones

Same here. I've got sets on various bikes, and am tending to rename them for the bikes so I can figure out what's what in the list. This is with an Edge Explore 2.
