I decided to hit supergo saturday and pick up thier wireless model. I just happened upon it after formerly deciding on another brand. But the SG is wireless and only 29 bucks with all the features i wanted including a display that shows 4 things at once.

But i have a question after downloading the PDF manual. It makes sense that the magnet and sensor should be close to the hub so that the amount of time they have to register each passing would be longer and therefore more accurate because it would be less likely to miss registering a revolution. I have read this too. But the manual shows it mounted up near the rim instead. The maximum distance they can be from the computer is 24" , so after measuring my bike it can be close to the hub without being over the max.

So the question is, am i and all the things i've read about this correct, or is it possible that some models may work better or as well near the rim? Or maybe i should meet them 1/2 way and put it in the middle? The model is supergo's WL9 wireless. It's got the supergo brand on it, tho i have no idea who makes it for them. I have no experience with ANY bike computer let alone a wireless, so any thoughts you have will help.

Thanks.....
