bike sensor and cadence
-
@krzysztof-borkowski what watch and what sensor? Suunto requires a combined speed and cadence sensor.
-
@brad_olwin sorry, thought that is in topic i can talk only about Suunto 9. I gotta Baro version. And sensor is called just Bike Sensor.
“SS022477000
SUUNTO BIKE SENSOR
Measure speed, distance and cadence on your rides”https://www.suunto.com/en-gb/Products/PODs/Suunto-Bike-Sensor/
And this combination for sure was working. I guess
-
@krzysztof-borkowski other that the obvious, magnets, etc., perhaps the sensor is broken. Did you try a soft reset of the watch?
-
@brad_olwin Do you have an idea how to verify it without buying a new sensor? It seems to me that all other indications, in all sports, are okay. The only problem is cadence.
Yes, I even did a hard reset and reinstall the sensor.
-
@krzysztof-borkowski is this a new sensor or has it worked before?
-
@mdzott i guess i have it for few years (more than 2). And as i said, every other indications are okey. the only problem is cadence. I wonder if it could be a mechanical damage, some kind of shift or something or the problem is in the software. Is there any way that I ticked it off or something?
-
@krzysztof-borkowski did you try with new battery in sensor? I had similar problems and battery change solved them. CR2032 if I’m not mistaken, cheaper than new sensor
-
@krzysztof-borkowski I seriously doubt it is the watch, most likely the sensor. You could contact support.
-
@brad_olwin @Likarnik Thx guys for your energy. Yes, battery was changed. The problem was/is with magnet. I took one from my wifes bike
Still, during ride I have no visualization of current cadence.
-
@Krzysztof-Borkowski Can I ask you, where in exercise menu on the watch the actual cadence should be displayed while cycling? Is there any Suunto App for it?

You can configure that yourself in the Suunto App. Below you can see an example of how I have customized this for the Indoor Cycling profile.

@Mads-Hintz-Madsen Thanks for your help. So basically there is no app or menu in cycling exercises dedicated to this parameter, I have to create it by myself. A little strange considering the existence of a dedicated Suunto bike sensor.
-
@Ars-Vitae there was a couple of years ago, that had cadence as data field (cycling - cadence, like currently you have cycling - power), but disappeared with FW update and there was nothing mentioned in release notes.
-
@Likarnik I appreciate the information. Thanks.
-
@Ars-Vitae I cycle but don’t record cadence. So what ever Suunto did would not be perfect for everyone.
Custom profile is the way to go. And very easy.
