AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

So I just got my wireless kit and haven't installed it yet. I noticed the DLP team seems to have their speed sensor on the seat stay like Boyd here. Anybody else use this configuration? Does it make sure the speed and cadence magnets don't cause weird readings by being too close? Is it better on the seat stay?

You should have no problem mounting your speed sensor on the seat stay and the cadence sensor on the chain stay like the photo of the DLP rider. I have my sensors set up the same way and have not had any cross-talk between the sensors . I have my speed sensor mounted pretty high on the seat stay to keep it as far away from the cadence sensor as possible. I would advise flipping the speed sensor to the front side of the seat stay versus the rear side like the DLP rider. Why you ask...because, if the DLP rider's sensor came loose it could flip into the spokes and be sucked into the wheel. I placed my speed sensor on the front side of the stay. If my sensor comes loose and swings into the direction of the spokes, in theory the spokes will kick the sensor out because of the forward motion of the wheel.

I don't think that the proximity of the sensors to one another is a factor. Mine are mounted next to each other, one over the chainstay (speed) and the other under the chainstay (cadence). They don't interfere with each other.

I think it's more of a matter of preference, and perhaps with teams, uniformity.

I put the speed sensor on the seatstay just to keep it away from the cadence sensor. It could have been on either. I know it should be flipped so it's facing forward and I may get to that, but I wanted easy access to the battery door when I first put it on my bike. Since I haven't had to touch the battery in the speed sensor since getting the ibike, I may just flip it around in case something does happen and it loosens. No need in taking three spokes out should something bad happen.

On the TT bike, the speed sensor is facing forward, also on the seatstay, but that was more due to the shape of the aero tubing.
