Hi,

Thinking of getting the Shimano Flight Deck bike computer with the MTB
wireless sensor kit.

Will the gear indicator work ok on my Marin Eastpeak which has Shimano
Alivio shifters ?

JD will be able to help you here.

Short answer is no.

Here's the deal:

The flight deck system is a three part system.

1 Display Head

2 Harness

3 Compatible shifter

The shifter is your stumbling block. The flight deck is compatible
with:
XTR (952), XT (750/751), LX (M570) and Deore (M510), in the mountain
line up.

Not only is it not compatible with your Alivio set, it is also not
compatible with XTR (M961/966), XT (M760/765), LX (M585) or Saint or
Hone or any of the other shifters/brifters ...sort of a limited
gimmicky system.

Not as well as orienteering skill with the proper tools handy.
Electronics are for home, bikes are for the trail.
