Polar cs600 with W.I.N.D speed sensor works from rear wheel (my friend own one and use speed sensor on the rear ), others like cs400 ( I own one ) that doesn't use W.I.N.D don't work regards tgolembiewski gps4sport.com |

I hve not used any with recording and HRM, but if you buy a wireless, especially to use from the bars to the rear wheel, make sure you get it somewhere you can return it. I went through 3 wireless units intended for rear wheel use before giving up and going wired. The one I'm using now shares a wire for cadence & speed, since the crank passes over the chain stay near the wheel. All of the wireless models I used picked up interference that rendered average speed and total distance traveled, the 2 #'s I care most about, useless. They get the right info 99% of the time but that other 1% throws averages and totals way off. Speaking of which, anyone want a killer deal on a Mavic WinTech FS? Only used for one ride, still has original packaging and even original zip-ties unopened. |

The Polar units I have owed (CS200 latest) are not strong enough to use the sensor in the rear position. Mark |

They cost more, use more batteries (which also makes them cost more), are finiky at best. Wired computers are far more reliable, cost less, and easier to work with. Chris |

Mark This is interesting idea - I did not know they were making PowerTap unit without power sensor. It is called "Cervo" on the website and has list price $369: http://www.saris.com/p-286-cervo-24-pro.aspx |

I would have to disagree with that. With the exception of its wimpy mounting system (which I fixed), the Polar has worked well. They had a problem with finicky cadence sensors a while back, but that seems to be resolved and they covered the defective ones under warranty. I have yet to replace a battery in any of the sensors on two bikes after 3 years of use and I've replaced the one in the head unit only once. For the convenience of not having to string wires all over the place, it's worth the extra cost to me. FWIW, I had more problems with balky connections and low battery life with wired computers. |

It will cost ~$550 for the wireless model. |

You are the only person I have ever spoken to who has had such a run of luck with a wireless computer, and this includes 16 years of working in bike shops. The wire has never bothered me, but I understand the logic. I've always just started at the wheel, and worked my way to the bar and wrapped the slack up at the housing. Chris |
