Trainer question.

I am forced to ride indoors due to the weather and I have a quick question. I have a computer on the bike but of course it reads of the front wheel, and of course on a trainer only the back wheel spins so I can't tell how far or how fast I am riding. Is it possible to move the sensor to the rear wheel?😕

If the wire is long enough to reach, sure.

I recently moved my sensor to the rear wheel so I could use it on my trainer. Unfortunately the wire was too short so I cut it and soldered another piece of wire in the middle to make it longer. On my computer (and probably on most of them) there are 2 separate strands of wire in the cord going down to the sensor so I actually had to splice in 2 wires. I hated to cut it but I wanted to use it this winter and now I will just leave it on the back tire.

I'm in the same situation actually. I was thinking that I could buy a cheap speedo and make some modifications to it so that it would work on the rear wheel (if it does not already). I think some computers can be had for the ten dollar range. You really don't need a fancy one since it's for the indoor trainer. In the spring I'll take the ratty computer off the rear wheel and hook up the good one.
