 Speedometer for 26" Beach Cruiser August 25, 2010

This type of Speedometer's are so hard to find. Have tried the digital ones, but the old types, are the best.
Fits older bikes just great
 Instructionless speedometer August 2, 2010

Nice speedometer and works great! but came with NO installations instructions at all. Good thing that I am mechanically inclined.
Even with that it took 1 hour of trial and error to get it install correctly. The greatest problem with with the bike's front
wheel itself. The speedometer sensor changed clearances with all of the bolt arrangement on the front wheel. Instructions about
this short-coming would have been very welcome. But still it is a nice speedometer for the money. I only rated it lower due to
the absence of instructions.

I just got this in today and like everybody else no instructions,I installed it and the meter was all the way to the right so I tried messing with it and got it to the 0 postion but then it didn't work when I took a ride and then the miles were so off it was a joke.I regret not seeing the bad reviews for this,I learned my lesson,wish someone out there would make something like this that would actually work and NOT a plastic piece of junk.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R39HMUS8A8TRDD This speedometer worked great, I used it on my 26" tire for my sedona dx mountain bike. It was accurate, and it looked cool. I got up to 45mph downhill with it! But, theres two negatives: 1.) The wires to short and had to stretch it some. 2.) It's a hassle to put on. If I could get a new wire with no cost and longer, that would be great. Sorry for the video direction, I recorded it and thought it had my face in it.

I bought this product and was unable to attach this to my bike. There is not enough room for the gray piece to go between the axle nut and the fork. The old bikes from the 50's and 60's had two nuts on each side of the forks. First you removed the outer nut and when you would loosen the last nut on the outside of the fork, the fork would flex out wider. This design gave you plenty of space between the fork and the axle.
The bikes that are made today do not have a locking nut on the axle and the forks do not flex. So this speedometer will not work on the bikes that are made today. This company should tell people that this product only works on the older style bikes.
I am going to try to modify the hole on the gray piece by making it bigger and allowing the gray piece to fit closer to the spokes. Right now the gray piece fits so tight between the fork and the axle and there is no exposed threads left on the axle to put the nut on.
Someone needs to design a speedometer for a bike that is mounted to the front fork and touches the side of the tire for the calibrated speed.
Hmm, that gives me an idea!!!!!
