Put the sensor and the magnet on the rear?
TBH, as long as you do the cadence and the HR, you don't need to measure speed. Not least because the trainer gets easier as it warms up (I know this as I have one and I have a power meter...)
Good trainer though!0 -
Thanks Nap
but i think that puting the sensor in the back the bike computer won't catch the signal, and if it works everytime i go out with the bike i have to change the sensor and magnet to the front rim again so lots of zip ties..LOL
should i buy one of this cheaps wired bike computer and just put in the back rim everytime i train indoors ?
thanks again mateTREK 1.7 comp 2008

If it's hassle, don't bother with speed. It doesn't translate to road speed anyway!
Train using time in HR zones and cadence...
I don't even have my power meter showing speed at any time (although it records it...), whether on the road or on the trainer, just HR and Cadence (It shows power but I only use power as a standard when doing intervals)...0 -

RucA, if the sensor works on the rear wheel for turbo use, then it can stay on the rear wheel for road use, too... No need to change it back and forth.
Not sure if the signal on the CAD 200 is strong enough to run on the back wheel, though.Start with a budget, finish with a mortgage!0
