Bontrager Ant+ sensor on the back?

Hello,

Well the Snow is melting here and I'm just about to phone up Germany to Order my new Canyon bike that I have lusted over for nearly a Year. The deal here is that the new bike will have a Campy groupset so my flight deck kit won't be transferable.

I have been looking at a new nifty computer and have come across Bontragers Node offerings. They are with the new ANT+ system which looks like agreat idea..

Many actual Question is can the sensor be placed on the back fork? My existing flightdeck sensor has to be within about 45cm in a direct line below the main comp.

Any thoughts on this kit and its set up most appreciated.

All the best Simon

Some of the Trek data transmitters fit/attach-to the chain stay. The Garmin transmitter does too. Note that you can use the Garmin transmitter with the Trek display. The Powertap hubs transmit from the rear hub. (I'm guessing that the ANT+ transmitters have a longer range.)
