What device are you using to obtain cadence data with the KICKR and do you like it?
I’m having an issue connecting my GSC10 to my 920xt and am considering another option. I have no issue with speed and power but can’t get the watch to pick up cadence. I’m also using Trainer Road w/ANT+.
I’m curious what else you folks are using and if it works to your liking. Thanks!
i can’t get any kinda of cadence to work, wahoo does not seem to pick up my quarq cadence.
I use the Wahoo Blue SC. Works great for TR, PP and Zwift.
Wahoo RPM - works both Ant+ and Blue
work with my ant bike computer along with indoor KICKR
can be place under wide velcro strap - no mounting to crank arm needed
Use as running cadence meter. Place in calf compression sleeve or sock
shopping for KICK and SNAP?
have a few left in stock, pm for details
thanks
I use the Wahoo blue cadence sensor and a Wahoo Tickr. Both are dual band support so when I’m on the trainer and have to use a ridiculous ANT dongle with Zwift, it works, when I’m out on the road and using strava in my iPhone, the Bluetooth has me covered there as well.
wahoo does not seem to pick up my quarq cadence.
I suspect the same holds true for any powermeters with builtin cadence sensors like P2M and SRM. While Garmin bike computers such as the Edge 500/510/520/800/810/1000 all have the appropriate ANT+ profiles to handle powermeters with embedded cadence sensors, seems to me the developers at Wahoo (and TrainerRoad, Zwift, and Tacx) implemented just the basic Power Profile, which is why ANT+ cadence sensor for these powermeters does not work.

Interesting, so I guess I can stop trying to figure out how to get it to work through my quarq.

I just use my edge 500 to pick up my vector power meter data and cadence. Of course, then I miss out on the ‘speed’ that the kickr transmits with it’s power signal, however, speed as a data point indoors is a joke so no real loss there. My training program, Perf Pro Studios, picks up both kickr and vector PM and I use the Vector PM to control Kickr wattage. TrainerRoad and I believe a few other software apps can do the external PM to control the kickr as well.
In the past I had no issues using my Edge 500, GSC-10 and kickr and getting the power, cadence and speed from each other. One person above mentioned issues with the GSC-10 and their 920xt. I’m unfamiliar with that…so perhaps the newer garmin cadence only sensor would be a better route for those using ant+ and only needing the cadence portion with their kickr.

yea thats what i am doing now…if i could just get the quarq to connect to the damn kickr to control it.

What software are you using? PerfPro, TrainerRoad and I think Zwift can all do this
On TrainerRoad, we have a feature called PowerMatch that does this. Check it out: PowerMatch
Also, you can connect a separate cadence sensor when using a Kickr with TR. Simply go to the Devices tab of the app, and pair with the other device you want to use under where it says Speed/Cadence.
Which Quarq do you have?
I am using a 2015 Quarq ELSA the accelerometer. Using either TrainerRoad or PerfPro it picks up the Quarq as a cadence sensor. Previously with an older Quarq that did not have an accelerometer I was using Wahoo’s RPM for a cadence sensor.

ElSA RS, only been using it with kickr app, which does not seem to pick it up. I will venture into the world of trainer road and Zwift this week.

I can’t speak for Zwift, but for TR it became the jelly to the peanut butter sandwich - IMO. I think I used the Wahoo app at the initial Kickr setup, but I already had TR and quickly abandoned the Wahoo app. My guess is you will like one of the other training apps much better.
Also for clarity sake, I must say that it is my laptop with both a Bluetooth and ANT+ adapters that is picking up all the sensors. I have not tried using the phone TR app using a ANT+ dongle to see if the Quarq would be picked up as a cadence sensor. For some reason my iPad does not recognize the ANT+ dongle, but I use my laptop for training so I have not tried very hard to get the phone or iPad to work.
Ok I will get started on trainer road ASAP!

I have my fenix 3 setup to collect my quarq power and cadence and is also able to pick up speed from the kickr when I select is as a speed sensor. I then use TR via BT on my iphone to get power data from the kickr.
Cadence is a red herring

I gave the TR IOS version a try this evening just to see if it worked as well at the PC version.
Here is a post of this evening with some screen shots using power meter control and how it compared at the end of the workout.
