fred is your stoker speedo wired? we want a stoker speedo as well, but not sure the wireless will make it that far and around my arse. mounting a rear wheel sensor doesn't really help in our case either since the bike is a triple. i want to add one, but not fond of the wired option.
We are currently using the Garmin Edge 500 for both the captain and stoker. These are both paired up with one wheel and cadence sensor. Since they are ANT devices, the distance from the rear chainstay to the computers is not a problem. Before the Garmins, we were using VDO computers linked to one speed sensor on the front fork without any issues.
In general, distance from the sensor to the computer(s) is less of a factor when the sensor transmits a digital signal.
