Hey i got a kellogs one too, and i was wondering if i mounted everythin with silicon, how would i determine my speed from it. It tells you km traveled and I believe wheel revolutions. I would only do it to see if i can even determine the speed of my machine, i do plan to buy a an actual speedometer. But with this one could i determing my speed?

enter the circumfrence in mm. and set the time.

run the cord down your front fork(you could also do the rear tire but front is eaisier) you might have 2 sensors the shorter one is usually rpm i left it out since its only wheel rpm not engine then take the longer cord and glue the sensor to the fork so that the tip is parallel to the rim.

then take the circle magnet(its the one that counts speed) and glue it onto the edge of the rim and make sure when you roll the wheel that it passes the sensor part. it should be around 5mm space between .

i used a hot glue gun to hold the stuff to the bike i used lots so it wouldnt fall off.

then to get it going start moving the bike and it should get it started

the speedo measures speed rpm average speed trip time odometer max speed and some other stuff

which way is the magnet suposed to face?

yo did you get a bell speedometer? i go the 6 function one and it doesn't work

the flat part of the magnet is suppost to be pointing to the sensor.
I have a Cateye speedometer, make sure that the screen is on the holder right and check the gap for the sensor and magnet.

i got a bell one from wal-mart. the magnet is facing the sensor and i've moved the sensor everywhere jus try to get it to read the speed.

jrock · 09-04-2006, 04:42 PM

there has to be a small gap between the two. the same thing happened to mine, i moved the computer part then it clicked and it started working, do you have batteries in yours?

sileighty · 09-04-2006, 04:44 PM

i have a standard watch battery. my gap is under 4 mm

the only other thing i can think of is the check to make sure everythings connected and that your not using the wrong magnet for the wrong sensor like speed/rpm.

Call the place where you got it from and see if they know why it isnt working.
