Rampa configuration with Garmin
Posted: Mon Oct 30, 2017 11:25 pm
I'm pairing my Elite Rampa with a Garmin Edge 520 and so far all seems to work quite well. However I don't understand how a few things work and am not sure whether the setup is configured correctly.
1. First off, selecting the Rampa on my Garmin device I can specify a gear ratio. The default is set to 2,78. I don't know why this setting is needed and what it is good for. Am I supposed to cycle with just one gear only?
2. Secondly, I have an additional speed and cadence sensor on my bike which I believe would deliver more accurate values than the ones from Rampa. I actually don't know which values are used by my Garmin, because both sensors are connected. However I wonder how accurate are the speed and cadence values of my Rampa? How is it even possible to know the cadence as the Rampa cannot know which gear I'm currently using?
Thanks in advance!
