Bike Speedometers in Bike Computers(4)

How do bike speedometers work?

Bike speedometers are similar to a cycle computer, and they connect to the bike through magnets on the wheels. Every time the wheel passes the sensor, it generates what's called a fork signal. The speedometer then measures the time between the signals and speed the bike is traveling.

Are bike speedometers waterproof?

Yes, most bike speedometers are waterproof for any kind of weather conditions. A speedometer is made up of durable aluminum alloy that protects the mechanical parts from getting wet or damaged. Covers and wipes also help protect and clean the screen.

Where should I attach a bike speedometer?

Put the bike speedometer on the front or back wheel of the bike. Secure it with the clip and loop it through the fork of the bike. Many people prefer to place it on the back because it's easier to route a wire to the front fork then the rear fork.
