This bike speed & cadence sensor from Taope is pretty small and easy to install and setup. You do need to be a little careful not to break off the tabs on the sides of the device that you use to attach the rubber band to secure it to your bike. So don’t over stretch it and try and put it on something too big around.
Once installed on your bike, you can connect to about any Bluetooth device, ANT+ device or both at the same time. So this will connect and can be used in about all the riding and excise apps that you may have that track and use this kind of data.
To track your speed, you attach the curved rubber mat to the sensor and then attach the sensor to the axle using the rubber bands to one of wheels that will be moving (or the only one you have for a stationary bike) and to track your cadence you attach the flat rubber mat to the sensor and then attach the sensor to the pedal arm on your bike using the rubber bands.
To switch the mode between these two modes, you have to take the battery out and then put it back in. This will change the mode and the LED light on the sensor will change between blue (cadence mode) and red (speed mode). I do wish there was a software or button on this in order to do this, but it is what it is and not really that big a deal to have to do but I did drop it one star for this.
Overall, this is a very nice sensor and does just as well as the more expensive ones do and well worth the money.
