Cordless with handlebar bag

Quoted message said:

I am just about to go travelling by bike and wonder if I should take my Ortlieb handlebar bag, the
rest of our luggage will be in BOBs, as I also have a cordless computer, a VDO.

Is there any risk of interference? That the signal will not reach the computer?

yes there is. i would recommend trying it out, which will yield much more reliable results than
polling others.

fwiw, i use a wireless, sender mounted on my right fork blade and receiver on the left handlebar.
with all the metal (forks, fork crown, whatever) between the two i was expecting problems, but it
works fine.

i would recommend against packing your handlebar bag full of spare chunks of iron ore, though.

I have a VDO cordless and have never had any transmission problems regardless of the number of bits
of metal, cell phones etc. stuffed in my handlebar bag.

When I take my Specialized computer off of my bike to record the information on my laptop, both my
cell phone and my computer will start it running. I have seen speeds up to 70mph.
