Why! cadence jumped

Hi, spotted today on a ride my cadence jumped from 80 to 96, to 80, to 96. Appreciate over a minute its 1 rpm per few secs but its driving me crazy. Ive a low cadence interval to do this week and not sure ill keep 55rpm since its either 80 or 96 on the menu! Help!!@

Provision of help will require you to provide details of your setup. :+1:

also, it doesn’t matter what your cadence is in workout mode, you will still get the star as long as the power target is achieved, cadence has no impact.

Since a low cadence is essential in a low cadence workout … if you use a cadence sensor a new battery might do the trick … ?

The sensor is on the bike. I understand the issue might be fixed by turning off bike then leaving off a few mins

Wattbike Atom? If so - yeah, that’ll sort it :+1:

I have this same issue. But mine jumps from 79 to 112 and 122! I can’t follow the workout as it is always telling me either to speed up or slow down. I have my own bike on a wahoo kickr core 6 with the zwift cog.

Wahoo trainers don’t measure crank arm revolutions, they estimate cadence but that doesn’t work for everyone so installing a cadence sensor is sometimes necessary. Here’s a previous discussion about it:
