Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Flight Deck Wireless= Rear Wheel?
Firend has a FLight Deck wireless setup, and wants to move sensor to rear wheel for use on a trainer. Have found a few references to it not covering the distance to the rear wheel, but nothing definitive. Anybody tried it/do it?

Thanks,
DP

I tried, it wouldn't even pick up the signal without me on the bike. With a body blocking it, no way do I see it happening.
