Do I need the Garmin speed sensor?
The sensor is a bit more accurate than the GPS, especially if you ride in places where you can lose signal. You do not need the speed sensor, however if you are trail riding and there’s heavy cover blocking the satellite signals, then the speed sensor would take over.
Can you use a cadence sensor as a speed sensor?
Speed Only and Cadence Only Sensors: They can’t do both, and can only measure what they are designed for (meaning, you can’t use a speed sensor to measure cadence). The most common reason people by these sensors over combo sensors is if their bike has a specific configuration that the combo sensor won’t fit.

Are cadence and speed sensors worth it?
Cadence sensors are a must for bikers and cyclists who want to maximize workout results. Many users have attempted to use the pedometer as a way of measuring distance, speed or even effort when cycling, but such a sensor proves inadequate in gauging data during cycling training.
Do you need speed sensor?
Yes. Get the sensor. You’ll get more accurate distance and speed, and if you use auto-pause, it will work much more reliably. If you mountain bike over tortuous paths and in dense woods, it’s even more important.
Do you need speed and cadence sensor with power meter?
If you have a GPS cycling computer it’ll automatically calculate speed and if you have a power meter it will automatically calculate cadence. As a result, most people forego speed and cadence sensors who have a power meter and cyclo-computer setup.
Do speed and cadence sensors measure power?
Cadence sensors are great for people who are only interested in how fast their legs are actually spinning, whereas the power meter is for the hard-core cyclist who wants the most accurate details about everything they are doing. You see a power meter measures your watts whereas a cadence sensor only measures your RPM.
