Actually, you can make do with the existing front-fork mounting setup. All
you have to do is splice in a piece of wire, secured with solder and some
heat-shrink tubing, and turn the sensor mounting clamp the opposite way,
so as to hold the sensor close enough to the wheel.  The magnet is mounted
further away from the hub than on front wheel installations.  I worked this
setup when I mounted a wind trainer on my Miyata, and it's worked out fine
both in the living room and on the streets.

It's too bad that Cateye doesn't give you the option of choosing a front
or rear wheel setup when you buy the kit.  For that matter, they could
just integrate the cadence and wheel sensor wiring into one  harness.
Oh well, who listens to me....?
