2022 Turbo Vado SL 5.0 Garmin 530 power cadence

[Stefan Mikes]

Correct, however the moment the bike is switched on and the sensor pairs then it reverts to eBike reported speed - the wheel size setting of Auto or Manual (changing to 10 or 9999mm) seems to make no noticeable difference to the behaviour. Never mind, I can just disable the sensor if I decide to press Walk!

(How good I own a Wahoo haha)

Did a quick check just now. Turned on Creo and Garmin 1030+. The originally setup e-bike screen now shows values for Cadence and power (they were blank before). And I must have been too compliant when it "demanded" immediately setting up a page to use the new sensor fields (cadence and power) because I have TWO identical screens/pages. I will have to do some cleanup.

 

[Comfortably Numb]

Yes, if you're riding the Tour de France! Ever read how many calories a day those guys take in? And still look anorexic?

Back in the '80s I used to get a magazine regularly that was all about Pro riders. I forget the title.
I remember an article in one issue regarding Greg Lemond's training rides. His food intake was simply astounding.
The story went he could convert absolutely anything into energy, and did. CN

Can I use garmin and mission control at the same time with both being connected to the bikes sensors at the same time I noticed that mission control does not give me accurate readings as the garmin when conect at the same time like power level doesn't change in mission control when it's changed while riding it seems there is conflict when I have garmin and mission control sync at the same time please help

Yes. The bike broadcasts on ANT+ which your Garmin will listen to, and also sends data via BLE which your phone / Mission Control app listens to.

With that said, I don't look @ my phone when riding, it's in a pocket or in my trunk bag, and I've not looked at the power level in Strava.

thanks i will reconnect and sync all sensors again and see what happens i have a handlebar mount for my phone & find it easier to read than the garmin
By the way what would happens if I add my garmin cadence and speed/distance sensors also to the bike?

 

[Stefan Mikes]

No idea!

Presumably the Garmin will only listen to the first cadence and speed sensors it "hears". Not 100% sure though, and it's easy enough to test out.

I didn't need to do that with my Edge 830 and 2022 Vado 4.0 (not SL). The bike presented Power, Speed/Cadence, and eBike as sensors my 830 picked up.

Though perhaps on an SL the eBike Garmin IQ thing provides some control options not needed with the 2nd gen wired TCD?

 

[Te. S]

my Sl came with no TCU so using the Phone + Garmin 830

Hi guys I got everything to work on my Garmin 820 i see battery level & assist leve except the power page doesn't show any info can any one help me thanks

Have you connected the Power sensor?

 

[Te. S]

Yes all three sensors power cadiance and battrey are connected
I just removed all sensors and reconnected I also downloaded E-bike field from garmin IQ app

I don't think the power page has the right items to read power from the Vado. At least from what I can tell on your screen. You have to add a setting to a screen. 3s Power is the one.

thanks i will look for that in the setting under power i found it and add it hopefully it will work
i searched the garmin website and it mentions needing to have pedals that have sensors is that true?

if you want some of the detailed stats, yes. The bike has a built-in sensor that gives you some info, but probably not as much as a dedicated power sensor.

As Mogulman said, Specialized Turbo e-bikes share the leg power data with Garmin etc via ANT+. You absolutely should get the power data from the e-bike, as I am getting mine. Yes, that's the Power 3s data.

Garmin pedals would be redundant in your case.
