I would like to install a wireless computer for the Stoker on a Tandem. Bought one, and subsequintly tried the other two in my garage - none would work. Seems like there is a limit to the distance that the "pick-up" can be from the headset unit (60cm). Any advice on a model that may work?

I intalled my Edge's pick-up on the rear wheel (need the pedal for cadence), with headset unit on the front bar - and thát works - but don't want to spend another R3k just to display speed and distance at the back.

If it's speed and distance only, why not try a small GPS device like the new Edge 20 or and older Edge (second hand) - no issues with sensor distance.

OK - I opted for the new Edge 25 (R500 extra for ANT+ and HRM is fair) - a bit more than what I wanted to spend, but it works like a charm!.....obviously.
