I would like to use this on my bike trainer. Will it work if sensor is mounted on the back tire?

I do not know. I have not tried it. You can try calling the customer service number they use real people to answer questions, which is great. I have found them very helpful. Also you might try the FAQ on the web site.

I think that rear tire is short cut for rear wheel. If not then you can not mount sensor on any tires. Rear wheel is fine.

So long as you can get the sensor close enough (and not in the way of anything else). I've got my bike set up on an air trainer and ythe sensors work just fine the way the instructions suggest.

Typically, the magnet is mounted on the front wheel of the bike and the wheel must rotate for the computer to count the rotations. If you can attach the magnet on the back wheel, and still have the sensor cable reach the computer, it should work on your trainer.

As long as there is a place on the stationary bike to attach the magnet and a place to mount the pickup sensor, it should work fine on a stationary bike. The magnet would need to be attached to a part that spins (similar to a wheel) and the pickup sensor would need to be attached to a fixed part, so that the magnet passes within a few millimeters of the pickup sensor when the wheel rotates. Depending on the design of the stationary bike, you might have to get creative here. If you are talking about a regular bike mounted on rollers, or a magnetic trainer, yes, no problem. Just follow the mounting instructions and it should work fine.

Sorry, for my last response. It should work fine on your bike. Be careful on how long you leave it activated without running the bike. Two weeks could drain the battery. I just wish that the range would be greater.

Will it work on the rear wheel of a mountain bike with disc brakes (so I can use the bike in the trainer or the road)?

I would think so. As long as you put the sensor on the wheel that is moving. Mine is attached to the back wheel of my mountain bike and I could easily put it on a stand. Also the cadence meter works as long as your are pedaling, so that should work also. I love mine CatEye. Easy and light.

It should work, see below and try different application. Some of them require a pro version to connect with the sensor. Other option for you to check youtube.http://www.zephyranywhere.com/apps/

All the CycleOps trainers I've seen use a rear wheel. This cyclometer is probably not right for rear wheel applications because the sensor/transmitter must be no more than 70 cm from the mount/receiver. If you want to use the Strada Wireless with a CycleOps product, you'll have to select a set of rollers that will rotate your front wheel. Then you can use it on the road AND on a trainer. Meanwhile, many CatEye wired cylometers have rear wheel mounts you can order and that'll offer another way to acquire ride stats AND use a rear wheel trainer. There's nothing wrong with wired cyclometers, just some people like the (slightly) higher tech idea of wireless. I've used both and could live with either easily.

Not if the bike is in a stand. This only tracks mileage when the tire it is attached to spins while riding.

As long as there is a nut or a quick release on either side of the hub it should work. The trainer has basically a metal cup that covers the hub nut on both sides and keeps the bike in place with tension from both sides of the hub.

I use a large MTB (6'1"), this didn't work for me on the back wheel. So I couldn't use it with a trainer.It's not listed anywhere but in the manual. 70cm or 27" is the farthest away. My back wheel to handlebars is 35" at the closest I could put the sensor. Tested by holding the computer while riding...sure enough ~25" is all I got out of it.

Depends on if its a all wheel machine? You would have to route it to your rear tire and the cord is not that long depending on the bike

I put a speed sensor on the back wheel last winter for time on the trainer. It worked well! I have not tried it on the road so I can not speak to that. The heart monitor would read 0 on occasion if I sat up straight for too long.

It depends on the lock. Your local tire store should have a tool to remove locks. You will also have to take the tire off the wheel to change the sensor.

It doesn't work if you want to mount the sensor on the rear wheel. I just tried it and no go. My handlebar is 34" from the sensor and it's too far away (max. is 27"). I need to return the unit and exchange it for a wired one.

Don't know why it woundn't. I do believe it would. I installed it on a mountain bike. Hope this helps

Had the tire shop install mine when I had new tires installed. They will have to program it to your vehicle. Most places have the device to get your vehicle to recognize the sensors. Some vehicles allow you to self-program by deflating/inflating the individual tires. Search the Internet for your vehicle.
