Using the Cannondale Wheel Sensor with both the Cannondale App and the Garmin Connect mobile app for iOS or Android causes known problems. For reliability using the Cannondale App we recommend against pairing the Cannondale Wheel Sensor with the Garmin Connect app. Those problems include:
- Ride files can get permanently removed from the Wheel Sensor by Garmin Connect before the Cannondale App is able to receive them. In these cases, entire rides may go missing from your Cannondale App history.
- In some cases, a Wheel Sensor that's paired with Garmin Connect will be unable (or difficult) to connect with the Cannondale App at all.
- Garmin Connect may try and fail to update the Wheel Sensor firmware, potentially making the sensor unreachable.
How to check whether the Wheel Sensor is paired with Garmin Connect app
- In Garmin Connect tap on
- iOS: "..." More button at bottom right
- Android: ☰ menu button at top left
- Tap on "Garmin Devices"
- If you see "Cannondale Wheel Sensor" in the Devices list, your Wheel Sensor is paired with Garmin Connect app

If you keep Garmin Connect app on your phone
Beware: The Garmin Connect app running in the background will frequently detect the wheel sensor and prompt you to pair it - even while you are using other apps. Choosing to Pair (as in the photo below) will put your wheel sensor back in the state described above. For Cannondale App compatibility, choose "Cancel".
