I really like the Ridesense sensor that came on my TCR SL. Works flawlessly with my Garmin. Trek has something similar. Is there a third party sensor available that would work with my Garmin 820? I really would like to avoid the nasty looking Garmin speed sensor on the hub and cadence sensor on the left arm crank. Thanks!

Power meters will include cadence ;)

And just use GPS as your speedometer. Otherwise the Garmin or Wahoo magnetless speed sensors are the least obtrusive option.

Yeah, I'm in the above camp. Haven't had a speed sensor for 3 seasons now, nor a cadence sensor other than the powermeter.
