my question is can i splice in a 3-4 ft of same gauge wire so i can put the speed sensor
and wheel mag. on the rear?
i want to use it on a rear wheel trainer instead of buying another computer.

THANK YOU FOR YOU ANSWERS INADVANCE

HAVE A HAPPY AND SAFE RIDING NEW YEAR

Yes you can splice in a section of wire but the wires for computers are incredibly thin. Soldering them can be difficult and tedious. You can buy a rear wheel sensor for $14.
