  • not wired, but cateye double wireless works well with turbos, pricy though but love mine.

  • , works the same as a wirel;ess front sensor, the double wireless has a mag on the spokes on the rear wheel and also a second mag fixed to the inside of the crank arm to measure cadence. The distance to the computer is not a problem (might be on a tandem though...)

    Both signals are sent to the sensor on the opposite side to the chainstay. its then picked up by the head unit on the bars. theres a ton of different frequencies it can use so the chances of signals getting crossed with another unit the same is minimal.

    The cadence function is a great addition for turbos. you can buy extra magnet sensors if you plan on running a turbo specific and off turbo wheel to save changing tyres.

    hope this helps.

    Cheaper option than a turbo trainer - just go ride outside!
