jase.g Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 again, this has been asked before, what should i look for when buying one? i am only really interested in speed but they all seem to be multi-function. which type is the easiest to fit? the diameter of the wheel (PL COMP XR) seems to be a contencious issue when fitting the sensor. any help please.

sgeorge9q Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 i had one fitted to my pl comp buggy when i got it second hand, all you need is a magnet and superglue, its not the best design i calibrated it with my GPS and it is spot on. so if you want a speedo just ask and ill send it to you Quote
rayens Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 sgeorge How did you callibrate it with your gps? Did you just do a speed comparison and then alter the wheel size??? Be interested to hear Quote
sgeorge9q Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 just compared the speeds, and "goofy" the guy who i got it from. has set it up perfectly, but if you just read the instructions its a piece of pi$$ http://www.ktcsc.co.uk/bpk/peterlynnwheelstandard.jpg measure the red bit and affix the magnet on the yellow dot Quote
tez_a Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 The best speedo you can use is a GPS. Its a bit expensive but its very accurate its not effected by wheel size or anything. Ive found mounting is very easy as I use a couple of velcro straps to hold it in place. You also get all the usual max speed total distance etc.... Quote
beardyjim Posted August 2, 2004 Report Posted August 2, 2004 I got a wireless one from Halfords for £10 and that made fitting soo much easier. Okay the magnet is only on with insulating tape at the mo but it works. The box states that it fits wheels from 18" and up but you can enter any circumference (damn maths teacher I spent so much time learning about pi that I may has forgotten how to spell cricumthingy) from 1mm upwards. (for reference I reckon my wide wheels are 1310mm) JIM Quote
william Posted August 2, 2004 Report Posted August 2, 2004 for what its worth i found silicone seal held the magnet on the wheel better than superglue Quote
