A good companion for Garmin's Edge 305 and 305CAD cycle computers and the Garmin Forerunner 305 personal trainer, the GSC 10 monitors your cycling rhythm for up-to-the-minute results and later analysis. The self-calibrating, wireless unit measures both speed (in pedaling strokes per minute) and cadence , then provides feedback to the user for optimal performance. You can later feed the results to Garmin's Training Center software, which helps you tailor your workouts to meet specific goals and objectives.
Like the Garmin heart rate monitor, the GSC 10 attaches easily to your bike, where its sensors detect signals from your wheels and send the information wirelessly to your personal trainer/cycle computer. It's also backed by a one-year warranty.
Sensitive (2008-07-29)
Cool tool to use if you can get it to synch properly. It is verrrry sensitive and if the adjustment is not perfect your cadence will not register. After several bike rides I find that I have had to readjust it each time. My ADD is starting to kick in and I am finding this to be a pain. It is entirely possible that due to operator error I may have not installed it properly at the beginning. Once hooked up properly it sychs seemlessly with the Garmin.
So if you have the patience( and good installation skills) go ahead and get it, the price makes it an easy purchase and this can be a beneficial tool in your training.
This is great (2008-07-20)
I purchased this product a few months ago. Installed it very easly. It took about 10 min for the installation. Works great. I wish I had this stuff when I was racing.

I am using this on my second bike - and it and the entire Garmin Edge 305 system, works very well.
The Edge 305 has multiple bike profiles, so I've tuned the second profile to this sensor.
Care needs to be taken to install the sensor correctly so it aligns properly with both speed and cadence magnets.
The only observation is that the cadence magnet, the one that sticks on the left crank, is a little tricky to space relative to the sensor. In one bike it required a home-made spacer, such that it would bring it closer (within spec) to the sensor. This will depend on your bike and as I said I only had to build this for one of my bikes. Still, it would be nice if Garmin offered such a spacer.
love it (2008-06-16)
I have been so happy with this addition to my Garmin. I also got the bike mount and it works great! It was all so easy to attach to my bike and start working with it right away.
Garmin GSC Sensor review (2008-06-02)
The sensor is a great addition to the Forerunner 305. I was able to switch out my catseye computer and use this instead. It is very accurate and was very easy to install and set up. I like that it has cadence and a wheel sensor as I will use the bike in the basement during bad weather on my fluid trainer and it will still give me distance. I would suggest it to anyone that is going to bike and run with the Forerunner.
