Can anyone recommend me one to use on my road bike. Thing is', I need a wireless one to work from back wheel as I'd use it on my turbo trainer. Nothing too techy. Speed/distance (not important for trainer) and cadence.

TIA

Just got myself a new bike so was checking same out myself. Halfords have 20% off them if you order online....wireless seems to start at £25 (so £20 after discount)

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/...

and gets good customer reviews....though I got the Boardman one for £60 as part of a 3 for 2 deal in store.

Hope this helps.

I have just done this, got delivery of my turbo trainer and the cycle computera few days ago and set it all up today.

I managed to get a Ciclo Sport one from chain reaction for £11.99.
Does the job, think it has 8 functions on it. Will report back on how it performs tomorrow once I have had a chance to use it properley.

Only problem like most the reciever on the frame/fork needs to be rather close to the 'sender' on the spoke (think about 2mm)

Yeah....but as I've just found out after buying a cateye....only has a 70cm range.
So can't work from rear wheel!
