Sorry to add another turbo related thread, but can anyone suggest a decent computer for turbo trainer use. I will probably use my Giant TCR Alliance and I know there are issues with the suitability of the chain stays for rear wheel sensors. Would prefer a cordless unit.

Cheers Steve,
Do you have it mounted to the rear wheel? I have this model on my bike at the moment but thought it would struggle with the distance from the rear wheel to the monitor on the bars.0 -
Stev,
Sorry just noticed yours is wired so obviously would work ok -I've had a few drinks tonight0 -
I prefer a wired comp so it doesnt get affected by my HRM. Yes its on the rear weel, and I am quite pleased with the tidiness of the installation I did, for me anway. One tip if you have profiled chainstays (as my focus does) you will need to swap the rubber mount ovre from the speed to the cadence sensor, otherwise the gaps will be too small/large respectively. I taped the wires to the underside of the frame with black electrical tape, which makes it quite neat.0

I run the Cateye Astralle 8 on my main bike. Speed sensor runs off the rear wheel so perfect for the trainer, also has cadence.0
