How does an indoor trainer measure cadence without cadence sensor?
Moderator: Moderator Team
Hey WWs...
I recently started using an indoor trainer (tacx t2180) and I noticed it reports my cadence. Quite accurately it seems. I can change gears and even if my speed increases but cadence drops, the measurement remains accurate.
I was just wondering how an indoor trainer can measure cadence when my bike has no cadence sensor?
Thanks

Also its perhaps worth noting that at the cheaper end the cadence output is worthless when accelerating or decelerating (ie all the time), Pretty sure Kinetic "estimates" my cadence using a random number generator.
