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

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:

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
