Will it work while the bike is on a trainer since its a magnet on the crank?

The magnet needs to be very close to the receiver to work. Even using a very powerful magnet it needs to be very close to the receiver. I think that still will work attached to the trainer.I've never used it ina a trainer but I think still will work.

It would measure crank rpm depending on app you use to receive signal..some apps require movement from GPS as well. I believe Strava has a stationary option.

Yes it will work on a trainer. I actually use my bike more by setting it up as a stationary. You just need to make sure to set up the sensors on the back wheel.

the sensor that is attached to the wire attaches with two plastic ties to the fork. facing the spokes. the magnet attaches facing the sensor. if you look on the sensor there is an arrow. that magnet should face the arrow. if there is not enough room and the two hit each other turn the sensor slightly to give the magnet enough space. it will still work.

I doubt it will work, that mount is meant to be placed on bicycle handlebars and once it is tightened with zip ties does not allow it to rotate.

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.

Depends on the bike you have. If you can remove the rear tire there should be a bar that goes through it that you replace with the locking bar included with the trainer. If not you line p the back tire bolts with the screws and tighten it down. It's not as secure but it works

If your bike has Quick Release skewers on the rear tire...yes. The trainer works well on my Hybrid with 700 mm tires.

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.

We have a multi geared bike so I am not sure. I will say that it only spins when we pedal.

It is intended to mount to the rear wheel. This is so one wire can be ran down the frame for the wheel speed sensor and for the cadence sensor. So It can be used on a trainer.

I would say no. It would work in thoery. However the magnet that attaches to the spoke has to pass within about an 1/8" or less from the reciever thats mounted to your fork. I doubbt you coud get that tight of tolerance. This stuff is held in place by plastic tie down straps. Road bumps, 60mph water, etc would eventually move things around. Secondly I motorbike spoke is much too large to mount the magnet onto. So in reality, No Way! Its for a bicycle, not a motorbike.

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.

The magnets should come with the sensor. If not Garmin or Bontrager have sets. The cadence magnet on the crank arm, Bontrager has a nice one if you don't mind pulling the pedal and the wheel magnet for the speed half of the sensor either is fine. Be aware that the Bontrager does have a face side that needs to be pointed at the sensor. Pat close attention to the gaps, the closer the better.

Sounds like it should from an electrical connection perspective; my bike was built as electric assist so all the mounting hardware was already in place.. You really want to have it mounted in a way so that you do not get disconnections while riding.. Can be frustrating to get intermittent power...

Since the cadence sensor measures crank rpm, I don't see how the cassette would affect it. But I'm not 100% sure

I believe it works on most bikes. However it's very heavy and would make your bike heavy too.

I assume you actually mean between the cranks and flywheel since all pedals spin freely. The answer is no, it does not "freewheel." That's how all spin bikes work and that's what makes them different from an old-school "exercise" bike. It's a direct connection from the crank sprocket to the flywheel via the chain and there is no freewheel on the flywheel &#128522;

If the wire is long enough(approx 3ft) and you have something similar to a fork to mount it on. The magnet is set up for spoke mount,should fit almost any spoke though. The only real concern would be accuracy since you have to input tire size, and they are all based in bicycle sizes.
