2. Mounting Instructions
STEP 1:
Attach the wheel sensor to the right or left fork using two quick ties (diagram #1).
Note: Do not fully tighten quick ties until final placement is determined. We recommend a
sensor placement of 1-2 inches up from hub axle (diagram #1). Position sensor and wire on
backside (toward rider) of fork blade to offer protection from debris while riding.Ł
Ł
STEP 2:
Attach magnet to spoke using screwdriver (diagram #2) so magnet lines up
directly across from one of the flat round dots at the lower or upper portion of wheel sensor
with a distance of 1-2 mm between sensor and magnet (diagram #3).Ł
Caution: Do not over-tighten magnet screw.Ł
Ł
STEP 3:
Attach the wire harness to the fork using quick ties (diagram #1). Excess wire can
be wrapped around brake cable before securing bracket to handlebar. Note: Allow slight wire
slack between fork and brake cable for turning handlebars.Ł
Ł
STEP 4:
Attach the computer bracket to the handlebars near the stem (diagram #4). Use
any combination of rubber shims to fit different diameter handlebars. Tighten the screw so
the bracket will not rotate on the handlebars. Slide the computer head into the bracket until it
"snaps" into place.Ł
Ł
STEP 5:
TEST. Install computer head into bracket and rotate front wheel to test for proper
function of magnet/wheel sensor alignment. The mph/kph indicator will flash if the sensor and
magnet are properly aligned. Tighten quick ties on sensor when correct alignment is acheived.Ł
Ł
TO REMOVE COMPUTER HEAD FROM BRACKET: Push the computer in the opposite direction
you would to mount it (diagram #5). The computer head will "snap" out. Note: You may have
to push hard, do not be afraid of breaking it, it will pop out.
