I have finally decided to buy a bike computer, the Boardman model from Halfords(yeah I know bit what can you do?) and there's a question I want to ask as no-one seems to be able to answer it. Can you put the sensor on the back wheel rather than the front? I only ask because all the models I looked at were fitted on the front and I'd like to fit it on the back so I can keep an eye on speed, distance, cadence etc whilst I'm on my turbo during the winter.

Anyone able to help?

    I have a Cateye Strada, Double Wireless... They fit to the back wheel :wink:

    If it has a cadence sensor, then it probably by default be fitted to the back wheel. The only issue with fitting a standard wireless computer sensor to the back wheel is the range of transmission to the display unit on the handlebars.

    Tie it with elastic bands and try it... If it works, then yes, you can :)
