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?

As long as you can put the display in a place you can accept, anything goes.

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.
