I love it!

I love it!!! I use with my Suunto Ambit 3 watch and it pairs immediately!! I used it with my bike (Specialized Venge 2012) on the stationary spinner and it worked fine. My first test on the road was good after a couple kilometers it started giving wrong speeds. I discovered later that the position of the sensors have to be alligned properly in order to have it work. If you switch wheels keep in mind that they may differ a little bit and adjustments might be needed to the posistion of the sensor. I bought this mainly for the stationary bike and RPM sensor. I attached it with tie wraps since i don't want it falling off when if the ruber band snaps or falls off.

Wahoo bluetooth spped and cadence sensor that just works.

Wahoo product that just works. Followed directions and fine tuning off the Wahoo web site. Just make sure that you line up the magnets as directed. Then synch down zip ties in my case. Load your app, get on the bike and it almost immediately just works. After that good to go. Much easier than ANT technology. It took me a few minutes to realize how you install the cadence magnet. Remove the left pedal which is a left hand thread. Forgot which direction to loosen the pedal bolt. Laft pedal is left handed thread. My bad. Use whatever size regular wrench Not the cone wrench. Easy way to remember the thread direction is they both loosen when you are on that side of the bike, move the wrench towards the back of the bike. You just hold the pedal good (used a garden glove in my case) and loosen. They are on tight for a reason. If there is no evidence of grease on the threads, use white grease or whatever your bike shop recommends. Again, remember to close your app before you pair the Sensor. Bluetooth thing. Much easier than sigma and ANT. Bluetooth is the way to go.

Works very well

Used this at first with Wahoo app on iPhone and now with Polar V650 bike computer and has worked great on both. Really cool that it transmits ANT and Bluetooth. No problems with install. It's nice that speed is on rear wheel so you can get speed/distance (i.e. virtual power on Sufferfest App) while on indoor trainer. One note--if you have a wide chain stay (Cannondale SuperSix in my case) and there is not enough clearance between sensor and magnet--loosen the arm and rotate it up and it will work.

Great speed and cadence sensor to use with your dumb trainer for Zwift, Rouvy, etc.!

We have two of these for our road bikes and they work great! I use it with Zwift and Rouvy via the Mini USB ANT+ STICK FOR Garmin, Sunnto, Zwift, PerfPRO Studio, CycleOps Virtual Trainer, TrainerRoad on Windows 10 Pro. It does work via Bluetooth using the Zwift Mobile Link (now Companion) iOS app if you're using a PC to display the Zwift interface, My Zwift/Rouvy Setup: Trainer: CycleOps Fluid2 Speed and Cadence: Wahoo Blue SC Heart Rate Monitor: Garmin Heart Rate Monitor ANT+ Receiver: Mini USB ANT+ STICK FOR Garmin, Sunnto, Zwift, PerfPRO Studio, CycleOps Virtual Trainer, TrainerRoad OS: Windows 10 Pro We got such a great deal on our "dumb" CycleOps fluid trainer that investing some in this sensor made more sense than purchasing a new smart trainer. My wife uses the Wahoo Fitness app on her iPhone to track her indoor rides and it works well also. **TIP** If, after adjusting the speed sensor arm, the sensor isn't reporting any speed, make sure that the small allen bolt securing the arm is tight. If it's lose at all, the sensor doesn't make the electrical connection needed.

Wahooligan in the making

I'm not going to lie, when I first got the SC, I was so frustrated with the installation I almost sent it back. After more fiddling, I am happy to report that the SC fits well on my 2015 Specialized Tarmac, syncs perfectly with my iPhone 6, has survived over 300 miles and an triathlon. I will say, just looking at the rubber bands they give you to attach the sensor to the bike, does not look secure, so to be sure I also used one zip tie along with the rubber bands and the device has not moved. I also love how the wahoo fitness app talks with Strava and Mapmyride and writes it's data to both apps easily and with minimal fault. It works well while I use my indoor trainer and allows me to record solid data during my spins. I'm a happy customer on my way to becoming a wahooligan as I purchase a tickerX next.

it's a great product and one of the few that gives you ...

Installing: the rubber mounting bands did not seem to reliably mount the sensor. I wasn't able to get it to stay on for very long and even if I was able to I would probably end up just worrying that it would fall off during my ride. That said, using the zip ties to mount it is no big deal, especially if you've previously used about any other speed/cadence sensor. I paired it with my iPhone 6, Garmin Fenix 3 and Garmin 910. Not surprisingly the Garmins were matched very closely on speed and cadence, the iPhone seemed a little higher and slower to pick up via bluetooth (cadence sometimes stuck for a little longer when I wasn't pedaling). That's not the case for either Garmin. Either way, it's a great product and one of the few that gives you the option of both Ant+ and Bluetooth. I would definitely recommend this and will probably end up buying one as a gift as well.

It does exactly what it's supposed to do

Works fine once I got it installed. Installation was about 15-20 minutes and was pretty easy. I put the magnet on the spoke and aligned it to go by the middle of the arm. It didn't detect speed until I moved the magnet away from center and more towards the tip. Now it works perfectly. There's some tiny LEDs on this that flash when the magnet goes by. It makes it easier to align this way. Problem is that the LEDs only light up for the first 60 seconds or so. After that they don't flash any more which I'm guessing is to save battery life. So don't be surprised if the LEDs stop working during installation. Wish there was some "Always Flash" mode for the LEDs when installing. I hope the spoke magnet doesn't get bumped and rotate. If it does then it'll start banging into the arm every wheel revolution. Wish there was a better way to put the magnet on the spokes but there probably isn't. Installing and setting up the thing is a 1-time thing. And installing it once is pretty easy. So far it's worked fine so there's nothing to complain about. Would be nice if the Wahoo app told you when battery is getting low. Maybe it does... haven't used it long enough yet.

Great set up

Let's me load all my rides to strava. This is my second one- have one on my road bike and track bike. You have to use their ap, I knew this going in. The wahoo ap is simple to use, takes a little to understand and set up. Now the latest update simply finds all sensors and syncs them- super easy. I use the BlueSC, Rflkt, and heart rate monitor each ride, with spotify and wireless headphones, no issues. Compared to the other options- Garmin $$$, and since strava doesn't make components, this was the best option for me. Once loaded to strava, it matches Stava's segments and treats it like a recorded strava activity, lets me edit the ride. I choose the BlueSC over the speed and rpm sensor because I needed to be able to accurately track my cadence- support told me it reads up to 210rpm, which I can do on my stationary trainer. I didn't want to switch the sensors back and forth, so I just got another BlueSC. Be sure to turn off the battery saver features on your phone- which knocks out my GPS and my ride map goes all screwy. You can do it as an indoor trainer activity, but I use the strava segments, and I want that recorded.

Consistent, Reliable, Very Long Battery Life.

I have these on a couple different bikes. Have proven far more reliable than the old Garmin GSC-10's I had before which I constantly had to delete from computers and re-pair to get to work. The Wahoo Blue SC pairs with both my Garmin cycling computers via Ant+ and iPhone via bluetooth with no problem, and simultaneously! Personally, I prefer the magnets to the newer versions without magnets that strap onto your hub or crank arm. I think these respond more quickly to speed and cadence changes. Plus, less expensive. Some people complain their feet knock the sensor out of place while riding. I've very rarely had that problem. Maybe I just have exceptionally good form (doubtful), or those other folks are a bit sloppy, I'm not sure. This also goes for the sensor I have mounted on my mountain bike. Broadcasting in both Bluetooth and Ant+ is key for compatibility with both phones and bike computers. I wish Garmin would wake up to that fact (it's why I don't buy their sensors). Batteries have lasted F O R E V E R. Good thing too, because getting to the battery compartment to replace them is sort of a pain in the butt. The Garmin GSC-10's needed constant battery replacement by comparison (and those batteries are also a pain to replace). Shoot the rubber band at a friend and use the zip ties to mount the sensor. Seriously, a rubber band is not a reliable way to attach a sensor that is going to bounce around for miles on end and go right between your spinning spokes and/or crank arm if it comes off. The entire mounting process takes maybe 5-10 minutes if you don't have some clippers handy to cut the zip ties and a pedal wrench, less time if you do. I'd have been fine using a zip tie to mount the crank arm magnet, the rubber band magnet means you have to remove your pedal for installation, which seems silly. I had one unit that wasn't recording speed right out of the box when I received it. Amazon replaced it within a day. New unit worked perfectly.

Works absolutely great

I have 2 of these untis that pair with android, iOS, PCs, laptops, ANT+, and BTLE without issue EVER. I also have Wahoo HR monitors (2), and a Wahoo Snap AND an Element. EVERYTHING works all the time and I have had these products since the day they came out - 3 years at this point. I have never had an issue with any of the devices. I am NOT a huge fan of Wahoo though - their customer service is crap - like horrible and I hate them and refuse to deal with them. But if you are looking for great reliable products then you've found. In the future I will replace these units IF and WHEN they die. IMHO most issues are caused by the devices/software that you are trying to connnect any of these training devices to and NOT the Wahoo device itself.
