Use A Bicycle Speedometer

Programming the Computer

Each cyclometer will have slightly different features that need to be programmed, but the speed and distance computations are based on your wheel and tire size. Stare at the information on the side of your tire for numbers such as 700x23 or 26x1. Your instructions will have a chart for these sizes with a number you will enter into your cyclometer.

Considerations




Most cyclometers build a console, lodestone and length of wire. At one speck of the wire is the sensor and at the other butt end Testament be the housing for the console. The console slides into the housing so it can be removed when the bike is unattended.


Installation


Attach the electromagnet to one of the spokes of your front spin fast to the hub. Bolt the console housing to your handlebar in a convenient spot then wrap the wire down so the sensor can be attached to the front fork without the wire activity extremely loose or very tight. The sensor should be in string with the electromagnet before tightening the sensor down with go ties (inspection by spinning the front wheel to see if the computer comes on).


Track your rapidity and distance with a cyclometer.A bicycle speedometer, choice avowed as a cyclometer, uses incomplex technology to track distinct aspects of your bike guide. The simplest models track your rapidity and distance, while deeper latest cyclometers Testament dish out you counsel approximately top and principles speeds.

Parts




If your wire is too tight you won't be able to turn your handlebars. If it is too loose or hangs, the wire can be a hazard so wrap it well and keep it secure with zip ties. If your cyclometer stops working check to see if the magnet and sensor are lined up. If they are, you probably need to change the batteries.
