I don't see why it wouldn't work. Give it a try.

I can see a reason why it MIGHT not work, or might not work reliably. The
transmitter will be farther than normal from the receiver, so the signal may
not be strong enough to trigger the computer. Many wireless cyclometers are
fussy even when used in the recommended location.
