The Trek Incite 6i, 8i, 9i, and 11i computers share similar sensor setup requirements. Since there is no mention of model-specific sensor incompatibilities, the 6i or 9i should work with sensors set up for an 8i computer as long as the magnet and sensor are properly aligned and installed.

Page 9: 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).
Page 10: Attaching The Computer Wire
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.
Page 11: Attaching The Sensor
