Could the Blue SC sensor somehow be mounted along with a flywheel on a stationary bike?

Typically, the SC Blue is mounted on the (bike) chain stay, with the sensor's magnet(s) mounted on the crank arm and on the (rear) wheel spoke. After reviewing images of the Star Trac V1 (V-Bikes), you should explore another option. Obviously, this is just my assessment (supported with 35-yrs of road cycling experience) and some may not necessarily agree with me. Caveat emptor. Cheers, OCTrojan

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

My first question is about your idea - what do you want to measure? IMHO you cannot obtain the correct information from the flywheel-equipped bike.

Without knowing more about the stationary bike, it is difficult, but there are multiple issues that would make it challenging. First, the rotation of the flywheel doesn't correspond to linear distance like a bike wheel would. Second (and third) would be mounting. The sensor need to be mounted very close to the pedal part of the crank arm to take advantage of the cadence monitoring. From there it needs to be close enough to the magnet mounted on the flywheel so it can count wheel rotations (which calculates speed and distance). Third is mounting the magnet on the flywheel. It is usually mounted on a spoke. Most flywheels don't have spokes, and are usually solid. If you are successful, please post.

Yes and no. You can if the bike is firmly secure and doesn't "pivot." But if the bike "pivots" or leans to the inside then the pedal will hit. All in all, I would answer that Yes you can pedal it fine. I will be honest. I bought this rack for general repairs and I absolutely love it. I would highly recommend it for general maintenance and cleaning. The only addition I made was buying the Park handlebar stabilizer. That comes in super handy to hold the handlebars in place.

I have yet to find a way to put a computer on this bike, or any spin bike really. They make bikes that already have the computers. If that's something you really want I would pay the extra and get the bike with the monitor. This bike is quite noisy too.

Probably not. The little magnet attaches to spokes on a bike. Unless you have spokes and room for the send unit, you aren't going to get a signal. You might jimmy-rig something. The computer has directions to determine wheel size. Not a great deal of money involved so you don't have much too lose messing with it.

you should be able. if you want to pass me your email and I send you a photo of the pedal support

It could be but you would probably have to turn it sideways. A headlight lamp would be a better option. Planet Bike Blaze 1/2-Watt LED Bicycle Light with Helmet and QuickCam Mounts:Planet Bike Blaze 1/2-Watt LED Bicycle Light with Helmet and QuickCam Mounts

If you can fit it on your spin bike it would probably work fine. It doesn't have a stem.

Unfortunately No. The unit is designed for the handlebars to be stationary. Don't worry though Joy, Its a great unit. Good Luck!

My honest answer is it won't work, even placing this on the back wheel of actual bikes. If you place the sensor and the magnet on the back wheel with spokes, and the computer itself in front of you on the handlebar, the distance is too far out of range. The signal generated by the sensor and magnet won't reach the computer.

I imagine you could, you're using the bike itself as the ground for the system and the dynamo is the possitive in a way. I don't know the kind of output the little thing puts out so i don't know what to expect really. I believe it's a very real possibility, however matching the capabilities of the dynamo with a different light may be tricky, but I believe it's possible.

NO, not at all. There's a weird part from cesur.de that claims to allow it, but it is the wrong size and will cause your rotor to be misaligned. I know this because I tried it. For a disk, you want the Alfine version of this hub, and if you need an ISO mount (6-bolt) instead of Shimano mount, then you need to get an adapter (I think it is a "problemsolver" from QBP)

i mounted on my handlebar but i'm sure you could. there's a plastic square you mount on the bike which the little computer snaps in and out of. you mount the square to your bike with either the elastic bands or the twist ties (more permanent) that are included, so it should fit anything really. there is an adhesive back on the plastic square to keep it from moving around when you mount it to your bike. there is a distance limit to how far you count mount it away from the sensor down by the wheel, which is listed in the manual but i don't know it off the top of my head

Yes because the sensors are on the crank and the rear wheel it can be used exactly the same as on a bike. Also it's the best bike computer by far and very easy to use

No. I recommend you get the RFLKT plus. It is small, attached to your bike and will sync your speed/cadence, HR, Power and any other sensors you have through ANT+ or Bluetooth.

Hello. The sensor unit has to connect to a wheel that spins.. The magnet has to attach to a sopke and the sensor sits on side so when magnet goes arond the sensor picks it up.. Most spin bikes that I have been on don't have that spoke / wheel option... I don't see that happening.

Yes but if you use it on the back tire (like on a bike trainer) you will have to place it on the back tire and the unit will have to be mounted shorter than the handle bars. The sensor goes in the spokes so if your using a stationary spinning bike it will have to have some type of spoke to place the sensor.

possibly. if you mean the type of spin bikes found at most gyms, it might be difficult attaching the magnet to the wheel and also attaching the remote sensor just opposite the magnet on the bike frame. if you are able to do that, then it might work.
