Really? Fits my CR1 and the chain stays are square. It does perch on top a bit but it doesn't move.

Same, my cadence sensor fits on a bit of a point on the chainstay, its not a perfect fit but the rubber wedges shapes they provide help to fit it to any shape. As said in other posts, mine doesn't sit flat but it doesn't move either, so there is no issue.
I guess it was possible to fit but I just didn't need it and couldn't be bothered to mess around to be honest! it always felt a bit too close to the spoke.
more to do with speed sensor than cadence really, if I remember correctly I couldn't get them both to work, was either a choice of speed or cadence otherwise it would touch the spoke.

I use one with a Bryton for when I'm using my turbo trainer and it works perfectly well.

Which bike did you get?
RT-58 alloy. Nothing fancy, but a lot better than what I'm currently riding around on!

It fits on my triban which is the same frame as the t3. Speed and cadence and doesnt hit the spokes. Spent ages trying to make it fit before i realised you can move the arm round so it wasnt too wide.
dissertation is stopping me getting ready and going out and riding so I've been doing loads on the rollers this week
i've sacked off trainerroad and all the numbers rubbish as it just slows time down as I constantly watch the numbers, feel better, stay on for longer and enjoy it more just putting some decent music on, putting my head down and grinding away for 30, 45, an hour whatever I have time for
feel great after a week or so of it every day, maybe ill get some time early sunday morning to actually..go...outside...?????

Cheeky spin out from work today, normally there is a number of us but a lot dropped out and so there was 3 of us....then 1 more dropped out on the ride 10 miles in as he has a dodgy knee and wasnt right.
So the 2 of us went to Beacon Fell, had a coffee and flapjack and i headed off east and the other chap went back west.
I decided to take the scenic route and felt ok so went for 100km and 4000ft climbing (ok 10ft short...lol).

Even got some PR and 2nd fastest times on segments i've done a few times with like 10-20 miles in the legs compared to the 55-60 miles i had in this time....quite surprised at that. Was also on my wifes Allez and only running a double so 39-27 was my lowest gear, most of the time i was using 39-23 or 39-25 so must be getting stronger!

Garmin fits absolutely fine with the arm! Much better design.
I've not been out all week as my wife and I have been alternately stupidly busy for one reason or another, and we can't both be busy when there are two small people to be looked after!
Still, I'm planning to clean up and fix my old bike this weekend, and then my new bike is arriving on Monday and I've managed to negotiate the day off after the past few days I've had at work. Hurrah!
