Christmas tree light wire is just the right diameter for adding length to your sensor cable. What you need to hope is that your computer has two side-by-side wires instead of a center wire and a second one surrounding the inside wire. After I soldered the ends of the wires together, I put a dab of JB Weld epoxy on the joint to insulate it and to add strength. Then you don't need heat-shrink plastic. Did this on a trike so that I could run the sensor from the rear wheel and it lasted for thousands of miles with no problems.
