Ald / Lidl / wherever ...
Has anyone got one of those very cheap wireless speedos with a manual /
setup sheet, or know how to set one up? I have a speedo I want to use on a Trials motorbike and I simply don't know how to set it up for a different diameter tyre.(can't remember) and since our house move, can't find the sheet I had. I can't remember which 'cheap shop' it came from, and there is no clue as to it's true identity that I can find. Be appreciated, thanks. -- Paul ... (8(|) Homer Rules ..... Doh !!! |

I thought I'd better fit mine after a year in the shed; dead as a dodo despite a new battery, you get what you pay for ;-( |

That makes two dead cordless ones now; front disc and Rock Shox rule out anything else; for the amount I use it probably best to do without; most of the off-road stuff I do is waymarked with a distance or at least a map. Expensive business MTB's, did one ride on the North Downs last November, cost me two pairs of brake pads and a new set of cables! |

I just dunno how to get it set for a different circumference wheel ... Mine is the one with a solar panel on as well as a battery ... if it makes any difference .. -- Paul ... (8(|) Homer Rules .....

That's what I did until the MTB's computer went to sleep with the fishes; it now has a cadence-equipped one which runs off the rear wheel. 'cos the front brake hose feeds the disc caliper, nowhere to fit a sensor and magnet outside of the disc, the only sensible place for the magnet to go would be on the disc itself. I will have a play, got enough moribund corded ones in the horn of plenty that is my bling box. |

I bought the recent Lidl one for 3.99. On that model, holding both buttons for about five seconds causes it to reset. You can then input a new wheel circumference. Might be worth a go. I think you're refering to the standard wire computer, which I have to say, is really rather ok. I was quite surpised at how good it was for 3.99. I always get a sense of conflicting emotions when I go in those places - happy to come away with the odd bit of cycling gear, slice of ham or a lorry load of cheapo olive oil and also somewhat disgusted at all the plastic crap that's very much in evidence. I'll go again. Garry |

For instance a 700c wheel with 23mm tyre is normally 2124 mm. circumference of a circle is PI * diameter. 25.4mm in an inch. Guesswork on the tyre shouldnt put you out by more than a coupla %. |
