- Select the Sensors menu.

NOTE: If you start your workout without waking up your additional paired sensors, you can still wake them and they will begin to send data.
Attaching your ELEMNT MINI to your Bike:
The ELEMNT MINI comes with a stem mount to attach to your bike. Simply use the zip ties included to secure the stem mount in place in your preferred location. You should be able to read Wahoo while seated in the saddle. To operate the mount, place the ELEMNT MINI into the mount and twist to secure in place. To remove, twist firmly in the opposite direction and lift to remove from the mount.
Attaching your RPM SPEED to your Bike:
The RPM SPEED arrives ready to fit to the hub of either wheel as per your preference. To attach, hold the mount in place on your selected hub and gently stretch the strap portion of the rubber shim-strap around the hub and secure using the bottom two hooks on the mount. When installed correctly, the Wahoo RPM SPEED should not be in contact with any other parts of your bike.
