Since you have a Garmin Edge 800 now, the next move is to get Above Category's computer mount, the Bar Fly. It is much nicer to have the computer mounted ahead on the handlebar.
I don't know. I'll try swapping them on our next ride. The Node on Stoker's bars had no trouble at all picking up the speed and cadence sensors. My HR got dropped fairly frequently, though. An annoyance, but cycling the secondary display brought it right back. I was using the Garmin strap, not the one that came with the Node.

That Bar Fly looks great. Will solve mounting issues for both Captain and Stoker. Mount ahead of the bar for Captain, behind the bar for Stoker.
