Is Espin Sport's unsealed cadence sensor a problem?

[Jcrotty1985]

I'm thinking about getting an Espin Sport. The latest EBR review notes that the cadence sensor is unsealed and that you could lose a magnet if you hit a big bump. Has anyone experienced this? Is it something to be concerned about? What is the effect if that happens and is it feasible to fix? Thanks.

The sensor is sealed. The earlier version was not but the later ones are.

The one I have is sealed, or at least it looks like it because I cannot see the magnets.

It's not THAT big a deal even if it were not sealed. Many/most of the older cadence sensing e-bikes are exposed, and although you do see an occasional issue, it's not a big one....
