sigma computer while on trainer
 

Sorry, not sure if it's the right group to ask...

I am using the sigma computer with cadence sts1609, I wonder if I could put the speed sensor to the rear so that I can check my distance while riding on the trainer? I tried but it seems that the signal can't go that far.

Thanks

I have asked Sigma about whether they have a combo sensor to use on the back wheel so I can use them on a trainer, and this is their response:

> We do not make any combo speed/cadence sensors. Fortunately though, you can
> install both sensors on the rear chain stay and get speed and cadence off
> the rear of the bike. The speed transmitter will work from this distance to
> give you speed while on the trainer.

And then there was another follow up note sent to me saying:

"For better transmission, have the speed sensor on the top of the chain stay."

hope this helps :)
