I'm a new home beta user and just received my sensor kit yesterday and expect to complete the set up and try it out today. I have an old Schwinn recumbent bike--don't know the model.
The crank arms for my pedals are smooth and cylindrical (no flat sides), about 3/4" diameter, and close to the body of the bike. So my concern here is that the sensor may rotate around and bump into the body of the bike. Will have to try it out and see if that is the case. My initial thought was that it would be nice if the back of the sensor had a higher friction surface and also would like the option of a smaller elastic band for a tighter fit. I like the feel and friction of the elastic bands. I realize it's difficult to make a one-size-fits-all solution.
My second observation was that the handles for my bike are about 1 1/2" in diameter--too big for the clasp on the button. Do you have a suggestion for dealing with that?
Looking forward to my first test ride.
