Review: Wahoo RPM Cadence Sensor
The RPM sensor is just a little bigger than a C2032 coin
battery, and mounts to the surface of the crank. It provides a cadence measure through
inertia readings, and transmits it via Bluetooth or ANT+ to your phone or GPS
unit. Neat!
Having to mount one less sensor/magnet is certainly a
benefit, and makes this easier to change between bike and even mount to a spin
bike in the gym. There is no faffing around with magnet alignment, you just
strap it on in the zip-tie silicon case, or with the double-sided tape provided.
The sensor seems to work very well: I mounted it up running
parallel to a second bike computer using a standard cadence sensor, and they
gave very similar readings (+/- 3 RPM).
This is a very neat and easily portable option for a sensor
then. Some might say it is a little pricey at £40 RRP, but it could present
good value if you can use it on multiple bikes and at the gym, and with either an
iPhone or an ANT+ computer. Worth a look.

The sensor is well protected in the silicone case, and can be mounted to the inside of the crank. |
Chainstay clearance may be minimal on some bikes, but you can also mount it to the outside of the crank. |
