Bravo, finally someone to answer whether to mount sensor on leading or trailing edge of fork, and with a reason...and you mention wrapping the wire around the brake cable! Good, professional video.
Good informative video. Thank you. I am embarrassed to admit that I never looked at the inside of the sensor to see that it had marks to indicate the correct location of the sensor to the magnet. As soon as I moved the magnet so that it aligned correctly to the sensor at the indicated point my computer started working. I was about to go out and buy another computer. I also moved the sensor (and magnet) down closer to the hub. I had mounted it relatively close to the rim, but realized, after watching the video and looking at my bike fork and wheel, that since the spokes are wider at the hub than at the rim the spokes are closer to the fork and the sensor can be aligned closer to the same axis as the direction of travel/axis of the bike frame. Now the sensor is not angled in towards the wheel/spokes and the computer works great .
Thanks for your help mate. Was for my sons bike and we followed instructions and couldnt get a reading! This video got it working, son and myself are far less stressful! Well explained and easily followed mate. Well done and thankyou for your extremely helpful video
I have 27.5 inch wheels, which aren't listed in my instructions, so I simply marked my tire with tape and stuck a piece of tape on the floor, then rolled the bike so the tire made one rotation, then measured it, converted it to mm, and had my number to program it. The reason I had to find this video was because I didn't realize it had to be so close. I had it more like an inch away. lol. I also noticed that the magnet looked like it should be mounted where two spokes crossed to keep it from twisting, then rotate the sensor to get the proper clearance.
Me too.. i have 27.5. I split the difference between 27"&28" seems pretty close, around here the fuzz WILL happily give a bicycle a speeding ticket... slimy scalliwags
THANK YOU! for thsi video. I am not a tech person (65yo female) and I bought a pretty amazing wireless cycling computer with so many features that my jaw dropped BUT...while the instructions for the computer part were pretty understandable (Chinese product_ there were zero instructions for the installation. While I knew a few basics, your video gave me a visual explanation that was much needed. My new toy is working great now!
I had trouble at first getting mine to work. I think the key is making sure the spoke magnet is close enough to the sensor. On some bikes, you may have to put something underneath the sensor so that it sticks out a bit closer to the spoke magnet. At first mine was too far away and I thought something was not working properly but a little bit of tinkering led me to figure it out and it works just fine.
Thank you!! I just put mines on, i had to keep messing with it and made sure it was might close to each other and not rubbing at the same time, got it about 3 or 4 tries lol
Bought one yesterday for a BMX, did not worked, was about to return it, saw this video this morning works now! seems i had the magnet to high on the spoke! ty
No one ever says definitively how high up the spoke and fork you're supposed to put the magnet and sensor. It's really frustrating! Manual says nothing, this guys said nothing and I've already seen multiple videos were everyone has a different position! What's he answer on this?
If you look at the pic in the video or any other bike that has these, including mine, the sensor and magnet is approximately 1 inch below the rim of the tire. You want the sensor closet to the OUTSIDE of the tire as possible so the magnet makes a true revolution. The lower the magnet is to the sprocket, the more inaccurate it will be. Also you will need to know the size of your bicycle tire so you can input the info so the computer knows if your on a 26' bike or a 28' bike. As the gentleman said at the end of his video you can download the complete how to guide in PDF form if you like more instructions on how this works. Hope this helps you. Best of luck and have fun!!
Now listen very carefully draw a circle and take a good look at it. Make a mark on the circle. Draw a line from that from the mark you made to the center of the circle. Now if you make another mark on that line, we will call it the radius of the circle and turn that circle(or wheel) 360 degrees. It won't matter where that mark is on that line(radius line) it will turn only one full revolution. Another words if you put the magnet high close to the tire or down low close to the axial it will still only detect one revolution. The distance of that revolution can be determined by the circumference of the tire. You can find that by measuring the radius, multiplying that by the number two, and multiplying that by the number pi( 3.1415). The formula is C= 2 X 3.1415 X R.
The set up instructions give you the number to program into the computer depending on what size wheel you have, for example, 26" = 2073, 27"/700c = 2124, 29"x2.1" = 2288
@@fushion243 hahaha.. I posted that 4 years ago and still no answer... I bet the guy himself don't even know... I might be wrong but center go faster.. make NO sense to install that randomly on the wheel
Okay, so here's the answer roughly 5 years later: 1-The maximum distance between transmitter-computer can't exceed 60cm 2-The ideal space between the magnet and transmitter should be around 1.5mm, that's the point where you get the highest accuracy possible from those systems. You can try 3mm, 4.5mm tho 3-You need to calculate your wheel circumference and configure in your computer. Mine is a 29" x 2.1" so my tire circumference should be 2288mm
This was pretty helpful thanks. I spent some time wondering why I wasn't getting a reading, seems my sensor had to be awkwardly close to the magnet. But it works now. Thanks again.
Sorry to be off topic but does someone know a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Chase Arjun Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
I watched this for one piece of info that wasn't given. I then looked at the comments and found it! And the answer made me question the score on the IQ test I took. Where on the fork and spokes you place the sensor doesn't matter because it will still be one rotation no matter where it is. Yep. Subtract 10 points off that test. I jumped around sites before commenting here and most recommend placing it lower on the wheel but no one gave inch/centimetre above hub/bearing/mount of wheel.
Thanks so much, I have one similar to this and was confused how to fit on my bike, but this really helped me a alot, works great. Thanks a lot for the clear informative video.
i even make the magnet smaller,my handmade magnet is just needed mount to the wheel spoke.the magnetic force and the cradle when cycling will force it to tight to the wheel spoke.i had tested it with high speed on road and the magnet was still staying in.
Thanks for this video. I was having trouble getting the sensor positioned and your suggestion of angling it a bit must have made the difference. It's working great now.
Very good video but you should mention that you also have to install a battery into to the transmitter. My instruction for a supercycle wireless bike computer from canadian tire never mentioned it eider.Drove me crazy I thought the second battery was a spare.
Small question: is there a difference in speed and distance range when installing it in different positions? That is close to the center of the wheel or the farthest possible?
Clearly, the radial position matters, otherwise you'd have to calibrate it specifically for your bike. I can never find this information anywhere, ever. I was hoping to get some insight here.
I notice that you had the bicycle on a trainer how do you hook the unit up then if only the back wheel is moving. Also, will it read it from the back wheel rather than the front while on a trainer?
i have 3 simple questions as a beginner. 1. lately the clock in my save mode does not disappear even after an hour unlike before, only the very small icon of distance unit remains. 2. if the battery drains and replace it, will the recorded distance in the odo remain? 3. how long is its battery life if i ride only 4 hours a week?... thank you.
I have the Bell wireless platinum series f15 cyclocomputer for my 26 inch mountain bike, the size of my tires are 26×2.0 which is not listed in the calibration chart, do I just go with the 26×2.25 size?
I have a bell speedometer but have lost the directions. Worse...I forgot how to use it. Is there a video on how to do that? I want to learn how to use it before a ride!
Maybe you can help me. My bike has different brakes than yours. My brakes are on the forks of the bike. I have to put the sensor right below the brake brackets as the distance between the computer and the sensor can't exceed 60cm. The computer doesn't seem to be picking up a signal from the sensor so I'm guessing it is because the brake bracket is blocking the straight line from the sensor to the computer. Does this make sense? Any ideas or suggestions?
I got this product as a gift! woo hoo.. but I am wondering if I can mount the magnet and sensor on the back of my Malahat Norco as I do remove the front wheel frequently. thanks :l
My computer resets it self to start mode when I turn it on with the button on top kind of like I just changed the battery. Is there a way to store my wheel size, weight,etc without losing it each time I turn it on?
I recently purchased new tires for my bicycle and have ridden them on three separate occasions and have noticed that my average speed times are worse than they used to be on my old tires. So it dawned on me that maybe I shouldn't be using the same circumference reading in my cycle computer that I had been using with my old tires. So I re-measured and found out that my new tires had a significantly larger circumference than my old ones (old-2127 new-2184). So my question is this, now that I have the proper reading in my cycle computer and the circumference of the tire is significantly larger, what can I expect? Will my average speed time on my next ride be faster or slower?
I bought a Planet Bike Protege 9.0 and installed correctly but it's not working. I spin the wheel and it doesn't trigger computer. Sensor pickup and magnet are correctly installed. I must have bought a lemon.
I've tried two different computers (one was a Bell) on my bike. One wireless, and one wired (the Bell). I did exactly what this video showed and got nothing both times. Makes no sense.
I would say place the sensors closer to the handle bars. Reason is the transmitter is closer to the receiver. As far a tracking a 360 degree revolution. I would say it takes the same amount of time placing the sensor anywhere up or down. I am not a math geek, but it seems like it would be the same time for a 360 degree rotation. Thanks for the video.
The sensor may be closer to the receiver (computer) but the signal still must travel the length of the wire so having the sensor closer doesn't make a difference.
Any reason why it shows me correct speed, then it suddently drops from 20km/h to 6km/h then goes back up to 20km/h?? even though i'm still going 20km/h?
I bought a Belle dashboard 300, which has a different sensor and cant figure out how to install it as well as the magnet correctly. Can you make a video on how to install the dashboard 300 model?
allthe wireless bike computers that i tried were not working properly if the magnet was located too low on the fork because the distance was excessive. contrarkt ro this vide, i suggest to place it as high as possible, just below the breaks otherwise, it will not work well
My speedzone sport wireless did not provide extra zip ties in the package! You have to get it right on the first try or suffer the consequences! The zip ties at Lowes are either too short (cannot wrap around the bar) or too wide (cannot feed the tie through the small holes). Luckily, my local bike store had extra ties. The guy asked, "do you need 1 or 2?"). Frustrated I asked, "Is there like a zip tie shortage?". After a little bsing he gave me 3.
How can the computer read the circumference of the wheel correctly, if the transmitter is mounted so far low on fork? The way shown, it will read equivalent to a much smaller (children's bike) wheel, not the correct wheel circumference!?
you set you wheel circumference in the computer, so it knows how much distance is 1 rotation...it doesnt matter if the sensor is low or high, its still 1 rotation
For use on a turbo trainer (where the front wheel will not be spinning). And is the Wireless signal really so weak that it couldn't handle an extra 3ft of distance?
The sensor says its water resistant so if it's like pouring will the sensor be ok? I know you can easily detach the computer in case it rains. Which it is right now. Its pouring right now lol I didn't install it yet. I will tomorrow. Cuz it's night. So if it rains the sensor can handle it right? Cuz I won't detach the sensor all the time of course. So can someone reply to my comment and let me know. I could cover it up but idk. So please let me know.. Thank you
It doesnt even show that i have any kind of speed i have a wireless one i just want to atleast get something on the comp but it shows nothing im really frustrated can somebody help me! I have put my magnet as close as possible to the transmitter but nothing.
The one that you buy at the store never is the same one that they show the instructional videos for.

Exactly. It makes no sense to me that it doesn’t matter where it is placed. It has to affect accuracy!

What the model of computer you install.

Is there any reason you didn't connect it to the rear wheel/seat-stay? or just personal preference?
For use on a turbo trainer (where the front wheel will not be spinning). And is the Wireless signal really so weak that it couldn't handle an extra 3ft of distance?
Interesting, wouldn't have known that, thanks for the heads up!
+Bungle2010 I have inverted forks on my bike, you can't really mount to that. So seat or chain stay would be preferred.
+Bungle2010 Where the sliders are the lower part. Such as Manitou Dorado.
Ok but when i do that and spin the whell it doesnt count the speed thats the problem to me and dont know how to fix it🤷♂️

is there any recommend distance between the magnetic sensor and the whee axle ?
1/8"
What are you measuring? Speed of the wheel axle?
which is the correct distance from the fork to the hub in a 700x23 cc model for a wireless computer
Thank you very much
