Placing the magnet The wheel magnet must be aligned so that it passes across the sensor. As the magnet passes the sensor, it must be no further from the sensor than 1 to 3mm (1/32 to 1/8 inch). The wheel magnet has a ‘T’ shaped slot with two configura- tions: round spokes and flat or bladed spokes (Figure 7). To install the wheel magnet 1. Remove the screw from the magnet. 2. Slide the slot in the back of the magnet over the spoke. For a flat or bladed spoke, start the spoke near the end whe

Attaching the computer wire The computer wire is usually longer than needed. Extra wire length can be diverted by wrapping it around the brake housing prior to routing it down the fork blade or down tube (Figure 8). Make sure the computer wire is not pulled tight when the handlebar is turned all the way to either side. To attach the computer wire 1. Determine the length of wire to divert by holding the sensor at its desired mounting point. 2. Wrap the wire around the front brake cable, di

Attaching the sensor The magnet must pass across the line on the sensor (Figure 9). To install the sensor 1. Align the sensor with the magnet. 2. Orient the sensor so that the clearance between the sensor and the magnet is between 1 to 3mm. The sensor can be rotated around the fork about 45 degrees. If needed, the sensor and magnet can be moved up or down the spoke and fork to 1.0 - change the amount of clearance. 3.0mm 3. Attach the sensor with nylon ties, but do not fully tighten. Figur
