Thumbs up Speedometer

once you buy a speedometer measure the circumfrence of your whole wheel.

then mount the computer part onto the holder then onto your handle bar.

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
