Van Rysel d100 - help please

Equipment

Hi all,

Am looking at buying the Van Rysel d100 and am hoping for some advice from someone who owns one.

I am aware that it doesn’t produce a cadence reading so I’d have to use a separate sensor, which is fine as I already own a Garmin one.

What I am confused about is whether my Garmin headset will display the Van Rysel’s power reading and the cadence sensor’s reading on the same screen at the same time?

Will the headset just recognise the Van Rysel as effectively a power meter?

The reason for the confusion is that I’m going from a Kickr which would output cadence and power simultaneously and therefore - I assume - wouldn’t display the cadence sensor’s output.

(NB I don’t and won’t use Zwift or similar - I just want to use my Garmin headset).

Any help appreciated.

Regards.

I think you’d just connect the Garmin to the two devices individually. In the same way you’d connect to a heart rate monitor and power meter separately.

Yes. You can choose what the Garmin uses for cadence, and you can display power from the trainer and cadence from the cadence sensor. My trainer outputs cadence but I choose to use an actual cadence sensor as it’s more reliable. Trainers can only infer cadence from sensing two distinct power pulses per crank revolution. This works most of the time, but can fail at high cadences and when intentionally spinning.
