So either get a bike computer thats compatible OR you do what I do which is attach the sensor on the rear wheel as you would on the front, detach the bike computer and either fix it to the top tube with the bracket if it work or tape, or just put it on a counter/table thats close to you turbo, provided its in range (normally 1-1.5m) it should work fine.
what accessories do I need to use my 305 in this fashion?

You need the GSC10 Speed/Cadence Sensor, it comes with a magnet to put on the back wheel.
You will need to set your Garmin 305 wheel size. Go on the Garmin website or email them, they are very helpful.

I was intrested to learn how I could use my 305 indoors!! if only I had investigated first!!!
is that wireless or not??
Just looked into this....
here's the info on cateye computers.....
Strada - Standard wired without cadence - £25
Strada Cadence - Wired with cadence - £35
Strada wireless - wireless but no cadence! - £40
V2c - Wireless with cadence - £80-90
V3 - Wireless with cadence and heart rate! - £100-120
Got to say, i really wanted cadence but don't want wires, so have to go for the V2c but am sick of spending, spending, spending.....:(
May go for the wired version for now....
Unless anyone knows of an alternative brand that has a wireless cadence comp for less?
Same stuff here: cadence yes, wires no, cheap yes please.[:)]
(yes, I know expensive is faster)[:D]
Unfortunately not.
Still good for the money though.
I have one[;)]
Cadence is ESSENTIAL!
It was easy to set up and works a treat! very happy! and for less than £30. (£23.47 from Cyclexpress)
