    Hey guys can someone tell me how the hell I can get a wireless speedometer on my bike to work . I put new batteries into it and it was working when I set it up at first but I couldn't get it going the last day when I went for a spin. I had to detach and attach back on the front wheel again before setting off so that upset it.

    Hi

    Do you mean that its not showing up the speed when your wheel is spinning - if so i had this prob when i was first setting up mine and didnt realise that the sensors had to be just mm's from each other.

    Did you put the wheel back the same way? Easy mistake to make (I did this) resulting in magnet being on the wrong side.
    As above, the magnet should be just a few mms away from the sensor.
    Finally, it's possible the battery in the sensor is gone - coinciding with your recent work on the wheel?

    Yeah I put it back on the correct way. I will try and adjust the sensor as close as I can to wheel. I just dont want the sensor too close to the spokes of wheel just in case it collides with them.

    I will try again. I store bike in back seat of my car and I have to take off front wheel each time I put it in there.
