From experience on my wireless one (Sigma BC1600), make sure your handle bars will give you a clean line from the unit to the magnet that mounts to your fork...Shouldn't be an issue since there is likely no brake in the way...
But if there is not a perfect view, you may sometimes lose signal.
If you don't run a brake, you can easily use a zip tie (or a couple) to keep the wire safe...a little ghetto, but it works
