Does anyone know if it is possible to mount a wireless 6501 flight deck off to either side? Will the wires be long enough?

Well, if the unit is wireless, I would say the wire's aren't long enough to do much of anything :D

OTOH, it doesn't need any wires so they must be long enough...???

...can you repeat the question??

The wires that run from the shifters will have about 2" of slack depending on the width of your bars.

I have a giant 0CR1 road bike with a Quick bag mounted on middle of handlebar. Does anyone know if it is possible to mount a wireless 6501 flight deck off to either side? Will the wires be long enough? Thanks for your help!!!

The wires are more than long enough for 46 cm bars.

The sensor is designed to mount and the right side (looking forward) of the front wheel and the destructions imply that there isn't a bunch of lattitude for aligning the sensor to the pickup in the handle bar mount so you may end up on that side anyway.

Be sure you have it working and aligned before you rewrap the bars so you can bury the little bit of extra wire near the levers.
