Bought a cat eye speedo for my bike, just to use for assiting me in my training (so i can get accurate distance markers for when i go out running etc) and just for the sheer banter to see how fast i can go down tracks such as fort bill. But when i go to fit the thing it wont work cos the gvap between the sensor and the small magnet that goes on the spokes has to be less than 5mm, and considering the distance from my fork leg to the spokes is around 50mm and the sensor only comes out 20mm it means i cant get even remotely close to the 5mm max gap reqired!! what retard designed that!!!!! its now in my fooking bin....TWATS!!  Angry Angry Angry Angry Angry Angry

Bongy bongy bongy bongy...

Run is as close to the hub as possible (If it's wireless it has to be within 70cm of the comp), that means that the space is less between the sensor and magnet. you SHOULD be able to get it to fit.

Some of the guys i know run the sensor pointing to the opposite fork leg to get the 5mm gap for the magnet.

As mentioned, run it as close to the hub as possible and also space out the sensor from the fork leg - simples  Wink
