Computer for rear wheel (indoor training)
 
Trying to find the computer that will work best in conjunction with the rear wheel. I have seen a couple of possibilities (Cateye Padrone Smart Plus Double and Elemnt Bolt) but, I'm not entirely sure that they would work. Reached out to Cateye a week ago and still nothing. Just looking for the basics: Speed and Distance being the most important. Any suggestions or a place to look to compare?

The computer don’t know what wheel it is on.
As long as you can put the display in a place you can accept, anything goes.

Ok. Thanks. I ordered a Padrone. Guess my concern was the distance between the sensor and the computer. I kept hearing that if the computer wasn't siting over the sensor that it wouldn't pick it up (read it).
Looks like I'm gonna find out this week. (fingers crossed)

There should be a spec, in the install instructions, on maximum distance. I installed one recently that had no trouble with a rear wheel sensor. No, I don't recall what make/model. Customer's bike. Many units now accommodate a wireless cadence sensor (magnet on the crank arm) so can certainly handle a wireless sending unit on the NDS chain stay.

I used a Planet Bike Wireless on the rear wheel for a few years BITD, worked fine but my 900mHZ cordless phone interfered.
