Is the Power Pilot the only speedometer / computer that will work on a LeMond Revolution Trainer? After just purchasing a Lemond Revolution trainer, I noticed and realized as soon as I set it up that I would be loosing my rear wheel and its spoke attached speedometer magnet. 

Are there any alternatives to buying the Lemond Power Pilot for Revolution? The Power Pilot at $439 USD its quite an expensive piece of hardware, costing nearly as much as the trainer did itself.
No it looks the Power Pilot is not your only option. It may be the case that any standard magnetic bicycle speedometer can be made to work with the Lemond Revolution trainer. The Lemond revolution does have an embebed magnetic sensor in it's flywheel. So all that is needed is a way to position and attach a speedometer sensor, so that it can read the magnet embedded in the flywheel.



My Experiment which resulted in a working and realistic reading from my low cost speedometer setup consisting of the following ingredients:


Bell Platinum Series, Bell Wireless Cyclocomputer
Four zip ties
Sturdy heavy gauge steel wire
Electrical tape (to wrap around the wire to protect the bicycles paint)
Pliers to bend and shape the wire such that the sensor lines up properly with the magnet.
