Does it not work?
So you installed it and it didn’t work. Sounds defective since the part that goes around the spindle should rotate. The magnets are internal, like the Grin and KT versions (have both). Much improved over the disc type, as long as you have a Shimano cartridge bottom bracket.Darren2018 said:E-HP said:Darren2018 said:I recently bought a newer style of PAS but it does not turn.

I wondered if I needed the magnets. What a crap design
It shouldn't be. The outer part should be fixed to the frame, and the inner part should rotate freely on the crankshaft.Darren2018 said:amberwolf said:Put your finger inside it and I bet you find the inner part rotates.
No it is fixed.

I wouldn't call it "recommend", since I have no idea what your setup is, but just to be complete, the grin sensor is customized for use with the cycle analyst, and runs on 10V. The KT units have a left or right model, so you need to make sure you order the right orientation (KT-V12L, KT-V12R). Good luck. I'd try the one you got first; can't hurt.
