Using Polar HRM with a Cateye speed sensor

[Jason Spaceman]

I have a Polar s720i heartrate monitor/cycle computer, with the Polar
speed sensor mounted on my road bike.

On my mountain bike I have a Cateye Cordless 2 cyclecomputer.

Is it possible to use the Cateye speed sensor, mounted on my
MTB's fork, with the Polar HRM, and get accurate speed and distance
information from it?

I'm guessing no, that they probably use different frequencies or
something like that; but I just want to see if anybody has actually
tried it.

Why don't you try it yourself. You have all the components.
