Does the speed sensor for this model work on the back wheel? I am planning to use it on a stationary bike. Thx

It should, if you mount the magnet on a spoke in the back wheel, and the sensor in the seat stay.Try it and see.

I've always had the sensor on the fork. I believe it was meant for the front.

Don't know if that would work, Linda. The sensor attaches to the front fork, and then the magnet to one of the spokes, separated by just a tiny fraction of and inch. Front forks aren't much wider than the tire, making this possible. Guess it depends on how close your frame is to the back wheel, to see if you can manipulate the sensor to be that close to the magnet back there.

No u can use your sensors!!! When I brought the bike to the shop they used the Prevoius wireless sensors I had on there and gave me back the sensor that comes with the ibike Newton. I love using it works great for me has been with every penny!!! The set up was interesting but not all that difficult watch YouTube videos and good luck:)

It sure does. Separate sensor on the crank shaft and frame opposite it for cadence. I have my main speed, distance, time etc. attached to the back wheel so that I can use it on a stationary device

Yes it can be single speed the back tire has 2 cogs the thicker cog is for single speed and the thinner being fixed. I started out riding single speed now I ride fixed. Great bike at great price.

Yes it does. Mine had a bad speed sensor. You are going to have to get it replaced and repay the shop. Amazon will replace it for free but the shop won't. It is a pretty simple repair to do if you want to try.

These that I bought are for the front wheels and do come with the sensor.If you can I would recommend buying the more expensive bearings with Tempkin bearing for more reliable service. Search automotive section for compatibility for your car up where it says all,go to automotive and input your car.

The small magnet which passes by the fixed sensor is designed to attach to a spoke on the wheel. This could be a problem unless your spinning bike has spokes which most do not.

Yes. Any ANT+ combined Speed/cadence sensor should work. This is a good choice. The wahoo (with cable between speed and cadence sensor) might be a better option if your rear wheel does not overlap with pedal arm (f.ex. fullsuspension bike)

I don't know but I can't think of a reason it wouldn't as long as you can attach the sensor to a wheel fork (the two pronged metal piece that is part of the frame and holds the wheel) and the magnet to a spoke on the wheel.A regular bicycle on a stationary stand would work but perhaps not a stationary bike machine without a wheel fork and without spokes.

I have mine on my bike inside on a trainer right now. The wiring needs to go to the back wheel since the front wheel does not turn. The wire is a bit short since it is made for the front wheel, but I made it work. Instead of using the bracket to attach the unit to my handlebars, I just used a wire tie to hold it in place. It is kind of lame, but it does the job temporarily. I hope to get outside with it eventually....then I can attach it firmly to the front wheel.

Are you sure the GPS on your phone isnt picking up the speed for you? Maybe the whole thing isnt pairing? If you put it inside on a trainer, you could determine that. Or disable the GPS on your phone. I use the ROAD BIKE PRO app for iphone, and it will tell you if the sensor is working or not (Green check marks). If its not, you unpair it and repair it.

I thought my battery was dead, but was not. I initially had to fidget around several things. The bottom part on right fork has to be tilted in towards the wheel to get as close to magnet on spoke as possible. Spin the wheel a few times and check how the magnet travels past the sensor. It has to be close and on specific path or it won't read. Once you adjust magnet to get right path on spinning and sensor is tilted in a bit and positioned correctly, you should have success. It took me a couple tries, but once you have it, no problems.

I bought this skewer for my "Cycleops" stationary bike trainer to rest on the back wheel. It was more suitable than the one that originally came on the bike. A "Skewer" goes through the hub of your bicycle wheel and locks it on to your bike as you ride.

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.

I like mine. The front wheel itself did not brake but the plastic holding it did nut they sent a new one. Also in the write up it states it can be made stationary but it can't. I use mine for jogging and biking. Biking works great on roads and trails jogging is best on trails. Walking in the road is ok but not jogging. But for price and durability it was a great buy.

What is the brand/model of the stationary bike? If I see the (stationary) bike in question, I may be in a better position to advise. Cheers, OCTrojan
