Can anyone recommend a computer that comes with a sensor for the rear wheel instead of the front?

I want to be able to use this on my trainer without having to have another mount and switch to "bike 2" like I am doing now.

Cateye Astrale can be for either the front or the rear. If you buy one, be sure it's the one you want. They make separate ones for the front and the rear.

How is there a difference? Surely any wireless computer can be used on the rear, and my Cateye's cable seems to be plenty long enough to reach the rear wheel (up by the brake).

Most that I have seen, and the ones that I have, don't have enough cable to reach the rear. I don't know if a wireless would reach that far. I have seen several posts of people that have trouble getting them to work on the front if they don,t have it way up high. I have seen that Sigma Sport has a rear wheel sensor, but have not found anyone that carries it.
