I was wondering if the handlebar mount be removed after its attached and then reused on another bike? Or is it a one shot fitting that has to be broken to be removed?
Many thanks

Answer:
Yep, it's a very practical "screw-on" item. It's not fixed with tie wraps like other models, and it takes no tools a only a minute to move it between bikes if you need.
The sensor and magnets, however, are mounted with tie wraps.

Yes, it can easily be taken off - same sort of fitting as Cateye lights (a sort of threaded tie-wrap). I've removed and re-installed mine many times when cleaning / transporting the bike on roofracks etc and it's pretty sturdy.

Answer:
IMO the shape of the chain stay does matter.
On my bike if you look down on the chainstay. It goes back parrallel then kicks out towards the skewer. The bend is right on the limit for fitting the unit for me. It's compounded by the fact I have aero wheels so the spokes stop further from the tyre than a regular wheel. It was also a bit of grief to get the cadence magent to line up.
I can't comment on the questioners bike specifically but because the transmitter is quite large it could be an issue.

Answer:
The shape of the chain stay shouldn't matter with this as the transmitter has a rubber pad that grips most shapes. I always wrap self amalgamating tape around my frame where I install stuff as it protects and adds grip.

On my old Cateye Astrale (very satisfactory) the main display could be switched between cadence and speed. As I am interested in cadence, and in middle age my sight is not so good, I have kept the main display on cadence. Does this computer have the option to switch between the two functions for the main (larger) display, or does it only show speed?

All screens show speed as the main top display. Below is the alternative infomation which is shown along with speed. The alternatives are -Distance 1, Distance 2, Average speed, Max speed, Elapsed time, Current time, Cadence.
The only down side is that average cadence is not recorded.

Answer:
My old eyes also have problems telling the cadence figures except in full light. The smaller digits are not nearly as clear and you cannot make cadence the principal display.
BTW, the unit also suffers from interference from flashing front lights. (That fact is hidden in the fitting instructions) It will stop taking readings for a while then start again - intermittently. Turn the light to permanent beam and the interference stops.
There is no back light which is also a drawback. If I'd known these things, I would have chosen another computer - with a larger display, less prone to interference and with a back-light. In fact just like the V3.

Answer:
The sensor can be quite tricky to install, especially if you've got convoluted rear stays, but it seems the felt B2 has enough space between the rear stay and the wheel.
I've got a quintana roo and the stays are very very close to any wheel, so it's hard to find a proper position for the sensor.
For the computer mount, I think you'll have to use tie wraps around your stem. The mount has holes for them, so no problem on this!

Answer:
The time of day is an option for the secondary display (smaller digits at the bottom of the display). You can cycle through: distance 1, distance 2, odometer, average speed, max speed, time of ride, cadence and time of day. I think that is all. Speed is always shown on the larger figures.

Answer:
It will depend on the nature of the interference but this computer uses one sensor and one receiver so interference will probably affect both metrics.
However, I have never experienced interference while using this computer for some years. I would prefer a separate sensor for speed and cadence to make it easier to fit but this is a very good value system regardless of that.
