Questions & Answers
Because the Cateye Speed/Cadence sensor is ANT compatible, it can be used with any computer sensing device that supports ANT. It should work as long as your device has a speed/cadence input. I use it with my Cateye Stealth 50, which requires pairing as a dual-speed/cadence device and entering the wheel diameter. This takes precedence over the GPS speed signal.
Keep in mind that it might or might not work with the Evo. I bought one, but the Evo was not listed on the ISC-certified list. 11 box would not sync with the computer (though it did sync with Stages). I spoke with Cateye, and they replaced it with one that listed Evo as an ISC-certified engineer. 11 box.
It may be more convenient to use the HR- Bluetooth sensor No. 12 This technology is being used in more apps. It will, however, work fine if you enable the ANT capabilities in your phone.
I see that the Garmin Edge 305 is an ANT device, so it SHOULD work in theory, but the best way to know for sure is to go to thisisant. com to see if there's a match. That will tell you ALL of the items it will work with, but I can't seem to find the Edge 305 in that website's database, so perhaps it's too old? If you look up the acronym ISC-, you'll find it. It will show all the computers it is certain to pair with in their database, but yours isn't listed, so it's a bit of a toss-up.
Selected User Reviews For CAT EYE - ISC-11 ANT+ Speed and Cadence Sensor
When riding or training indoors, my local bike shop recommended Zwift. This sensor was purchased to go with my old bike, which I converted into an indoor trainer with the Kinetic Rock and Roll Trainer. This ISC-ISC-ISC-ISC-ISC-ISC-ISC-I A USB Garmin ANT dongle with a 25' USB extension cable transmits data from the 11 sensor. So that's how I connect to the Zwift software in its most basic form. br>br>The issue I'm having is that while riding in Zwift, I occasionally experience data spikes to zero (0) RPM or MPH, which affects the resulting "zPower" wattage output, affecting my workout results. It's only a brief spike, and my data usually returns within a second or two, but it's still annoying. I understand that RF is difficult to master and that signals can be lost. br>br>Zwift has stated that there is a known problem with this ISC- 11 sensor, as well as how it interacts with their software. Zwift is currently testing the sensor to see if there is anything they can do in terms of programming to eliminate the data spikes. Zwift deserves a lot of credit. Bottom line: Proceed with caution if you're buying this sensor to use with the Zwift training software. It's a good sensor that does what it's supposed to do, but if there's a known issue with this Cateye product and its compatibility with Zwift's software, you might want to go with the Garmin sensor instead. The lack of a fifth star in my rating does not necessarily imply that I am dissatisfied with this product. It's just a personal opinion based on how well this product works with my system. On my outdoor bike, I have a Cateye computer, which is fantastic! So I'm not going to make any negative remarks about Cateye.
So far, it seems to be doing a good job of counting my cadence. It keeps track of how fast or slow I can pedal and sends that information to the computer, which in turn sends it to zwift, allowing my little cyclist to climb the hill. Oh, and I suppose it would work if you rode it outside as well, but I already ride in the rain enough, so a few rides inside aren't too bad.
The unit worked well with a Cateye Stealth 50 for about a year (less during the winter months because I didn't ride at all). It began having intermittent cadence reading issues a few months ago, but recently lost contact completely, along with the speedometer function. It wouldn't pair with my Stealth unit after I replaced the battery. br>br>It was tested and found to be dead at the bike shop. Other units work with my bike computer, but not with this one. br>br>It's unfortunate that this happened so close to the warranty's end (less than two weeks). br>br>For $60, I believe it should last at least a year.
The magnet/sensor combination appeals to me, and the unit is so slim that it is barely visible on my frame. Because I can see my rpm in real time and adjust based on that, I've noticed a smoother cadence since getting it. With a lower cadence (around 80-90), I can now maintain an average speed of 18 mph. Instead of the previous cadence of 95-100rpm, the cadence has been reduced to 90rpm. To get there, you'll need 105 points. It's a little tricky to pair a cateye sensor with a cycling computer, but once it's done, all you have to do is turn on the computer and the sensor almost instantly syncs. Of course, because the sensor overrides GPS for speed calculation, there is some loading time for the gps signal if your computer has that feature for mapping your rides. On my track bike, I'm riding with a Cateye stealth evo computer, which is a simple, affordable, and effective setup that has greatly aided my training.
With my Garmin Edge 500, it works perfectly. I use a circular neodymium magnet on the inside end of my pedal spindle and a bar magnet on the outside of a (flat) spoke instead of the supplied magnets. They are easily detected by the sensor. Nothing more could be asked of such a basic sensor.
Find something else if you require more. Very let down. At first, I was ecstatic with the performance and the fact that I could use a single sensor instead of three on the fork, chainstay, and cranks, and I would have given it a solid 5-star rating. You tried to persuade me to give it more than one star, but I'm not convinced anymore. br>br>I bought my first one on June 5th, and it broke down two weeks later (rattling, cold-water leak). Inside the battery, there are solder parts rattling around). On June 25th, I purchased a replacement, and it failed a month later (speed works, cadence varies between 0 and 250, as measured by my Sigma ROX and my Garmin ViRB over ANT). I've unpaired and re-paired the batteries. When both are paired, the results are the same. My cadence can be all over the place on the meters even if I'm at a complete stop. br>br>If these sensors aren't going to last more than a month before failing, I can't recommend this sensor to anyone who wants actual data from it.

When I first got it, this device worked perfectly with my CatEye stealth 50 bike computer. Because I had to read set the device and resync it to my bike computer every time the battery died, I gave it a low rating. I bought the device in January 2015, and it's already dead in May 2018. For a $60 device, three years isn't exactly a good return on investment; I've had devices last closer to ten years in the past.
