bike computer set-up

[stb222]

since my garmin is still lost, I put the bike comp back on. Does it matter how close the sensor is to the axle of the wheel? I know velocity is faster towards the axle of the wheel, but the spoke still only passes the sensor once a revolution. I am thinking it doesn't matter, just wanted to confirm.

It doesn't matter. It's calculated using revolutions and wheel size and time, and a handful of flux capacitors.

 

[Engignar]

It does not matter, as long as the magnet on the wheel is close enough to the sensor to pick up the signal.

Put two magnets on the spokes. You'll be crazy fast. :rofl:

 

[Engignar]

or program in that your wheel is twice the circumference it really is. With that and the dual magnet set up you can average 35 mph every ride, easy.

just dont put it on backwards or else you'll be getting sub-zero readings.

That would be like back to the future. Just make sure you crank out 1.21 gigawatts of power. :rofl:
