moofit CS8 Cycling Speed Sensor and Cadence Sensor, Bluetooth & ANT+ Wireless Speed, Distance Sensor and Cadence Sensor with IP67 Waterproof Low Energy Technology, Orange

I've had a Polar cycle computer with speed and cadence sensors, however the speed sensor has gone faulty and they no longer have replacements. Having used a trusted and well-known brand for a long time, I was a little apprehensive about using Moofit, especially considering the low price.Well, I'm not apprehensive any more! The sensors are easy to fit in just a couple of minutes using the supplied securing bands, which come in different sizes to cater for different bikes.Once fitted, I opened up my Openrider app (I believe it works with a number of different apps), tapped within the app to find nearby sensors, and that was it. All set up in less than 5 minutes. The sensors operate over bluetooth or ANT+ bluetooth. ANT+ is a little more accurate and power efficient so, if your phone supports ANT+, I'd suggest using that. Regular bluetooth works fine and Openrider supports both regular bluetooth and ANT+.The speed sensor attaches to the hub inside your wheel and I attached mine to the rear wheel. This also means that the speed is registered even when I'm using my indoor training, which is fantastic and something I've not been able to do before. The cadence sensor attaches around either pedal crank.The sensors appear to be very accurate and comparable to other systems I've used. All in all, I can't really find fault with the Moofit Cadence and Speed Sensor.I sincerely hope you've found this review useful. Thank you for reading.

These are definitely good value for the 2. Small box, housing both. I was impressed there there are a selection of bands to attach to the bike, so should fit most bikes no bother. Really easy to attach to the bike and appear that they should stay on well. The instruction manual is adequate for the basics. The company also emailed not long after receiving the product to provide some further advice for installation. The best piece of advice given was to wake up the sensors by 2-3 turns of the wheels. I did have some issues with trying to pair the sensors. At first I tried with Endomondo which it had mentioned and is an app I use. Unfortunately I couldn’t get it to pair (perhaps because I have the free version?) I tried Strava also, then found that Strava won’t accept it. I then downloaded 2 of the apps the company mentioned - OpenRider and Wahoo. Had no issues getting the sensors to pair with these, in fact it was fast and very straightforward and they have worked fine on my rides, though Wahoo only seems to want to use one of the sensors at a time. I have since found that both Apps ‘should’ be able to send your ride details to Strava afterwards, so i will try that out. For me, the cadence sensor hasn’t worked so well - I think it’s better suited to users of cleats. As I just wear trainers I did find that my foot would knock against the sensor when I stopped and started. Perhaps I could change the position or put it on the other side. However, for me, I think it is better suited for on the indoor trainer. Overall, happy with these.

This was so simple to install on my (cheap) static bike, and was recognised by my Garmin watch instantly. The speed sensor was attached to the top of the crank arm, and cadence sensor on the inside of the crank arm (see photo). I've not done a full session yet, but the watch does pick up the speed and cadence when recording an indoor ride (and, most importantly, the distance). Just remember to adjust the wheel size on Garmin, to get an accurate distance. At less than £25.00 for both, it is a steal.Update - with the speed sensor, it is necessary to adjust the virtual wheel circumference if using on a spin bike. My Garmin automatically set this to about 2300mm, but I had to manually adjust it to 3700mm so that it correlated with the speed and distance shown on the bike's very basic display screen. It takes a little perseverance, but worth it. I'm now going to get a second set for my road bike, and pair them with my Garmin Edge.

Comes with instructions for the fitting, but none whatsoever on how to get it working with my phone on bluetooth. They don't even say how to pair etc.Now I have some extra weight on my bike which does absolutely nothing.

i have 1 set that works perfectly .. this latest set the speed sensor connects and intermittently sends data .. we tried altering bluetooth setup but we have finally started using the older sensor on my wifes setup and bingo works every time .. would send back if i could for a refund .. clearly luck of the draw if you get a good one or not
