Title: Don't Ride without Cadence Sensor
Product review: I've had my Garmin 305 for about 2 1/2 years. Great unit. Initinally wondered why cadence sensor? After talking to a very knowledgeable rider, I found it is extremely useful. I had been riding (Trek 7.5FX) at a comfortable 75-80 rpm. Was told to drop a gear and ride closer to 85+. Not to worry about speed, just get used to higher cadence. I've been doing that ever since and have steadily gained .5 mph average on 40 mile rides. Just not building up lactic acid as quickly. I now have Cadence on the top of my 305 display with HR just below. Speed is on a lower display. Forget speed, except downhill or tailwind as the other two are paramount. Now my average is about 16.3 mph for a hour or 16.4. for my last 40 miler. I'm almost 70 yrs. old, died (for about 10 seconds) of a heart attack 7 yrs ago, quad bypass, doing great now. By the way, I use 130 HR as a red line - normal anywhere between 105 - 120 HR when riding. GO FOR IT!
