Garmin 1000 - 3 second cadence option

[davidevo9000]

Hi,

I've bought a Garmin 1000 and am struggling to work out how to change the cadence to 3 second average. It lets me change it to an average cadence but not 3 second.

I have updated all the software and searched for solutions but cannot find how to do this. any help would be great.

Thanks,

David

I thought it was only Power setting that has 3sec option on head unit.
You can smooth cadence later in WKO

I'm sure I have seen people using 3 second cadence on their garmin 1000

also, what does WKO mean?

thanks

WKO? It's just what almost everybody uses to upload their power files to

When you are adjusting the Data screens.. Choose cadence and scroll until you find it..

spdntrxi - I have selected cadence and it then gives two options - "cadence 1 sec" or "cadence average"

is there a way to add the 3 second option?

Dave, and I mean this with all sincerity, but it might be worth using a bit of Google time and searching through here and the web for some understanding of basic terms.

WKO = an abbreviated form of saying 'Training Peaks'. It's a program that is primarily used by those with a power meter. An excellent (and free) alternative is Golden Cheetah.

As for the 3 sec average cadence, I've never seen that as a feature on the Garmin 1000. Not saying it doesn't exist, only I've not seen it exist. Are you sure you're not getting confused with 3 sec power on other people's units?

[davidevo9000]

Ok, if its not an option then that may explain why I couldn't find it.

thanks for the replies

What value do you see in monitoring 3s average cadence?

thanks for the replies

got home and checked myself... it is not an option... probably just confusing it with 3s power which does exist.

[davidevo9000]

I think your right there. no wonder google was no help with this

thanks anyway guys, much appreciated

Exactly. It's not like it's changing like power does.

I wish there was a 3 second avg for power......
