Hi im just wondering if somthing like this setup would work (see image). Would this work? Would the seatpost be a problem for the windport? And my legs peddeling close to it? Or could this work if its in front of the seatpost? What setting should I use if this could work? Like: handlebar/front/tt?

Thanks :)

For PP to work properly you'll need these things:

1) PP must be rigidly attached to the bike.

2) PP needs a clear view of the wind. You won't get this if you mount it under the seat. What to do? Improvise! Try to fashion an adapter that goes into the wind port. Then, take a long piece of tubing (get it from Home Depot or elsewhere), and snake it along your top tube, until the tube reaches beyond the front of your handlebars. Your wind will be measured at the handlebars. The idea is similar to this:

3) You will need to do an out-and-back calibration.
