Currently on Wiggle the Garmin Edge 500, GSC 10 speed-cadence and heart rate sensor bundle is on offer. Does anybody have any experience fitting the GSC 10 to a red Triban 3?
The chainstays look very chunky and there isn't much clearance between them and the spokes. Will I be OK?

You fit it with the arm pointing up as there is no room to point it down. It's not ideal as if if contacts the magnet then it gets pulled further in and self destructs. Just make sure you use rubber under the tie wraps for extra friction to stop it moving.

Had mine on my red T3 for 2 years or more. Hasn't shifted at all in that time, so as long as you fit it correctly (arm pointing up as Rocket said) it'll be fine. Edit: found a pic.

Many thanks. Does it come with rubber feet to make it more stable, and is it a pain to install? I'd be worried about it getting dislodged in the wheel.

It has a curved rubber pad under the sensor that helps it to grip to the frame. Held in place by cable ties. Like I said, mines been solid since install. Even had a couple of whacks of the magnet when that has shifted and still hasn't moved.

I managed to fit mine with the arm pointing down on my T3 and got it to work but the spoke magnet was pretty close to the rim.
