Hi all,I'm wondering how I would go about fitting a bike speedo to my car,it's a Halfords 6 fuction wirefree cycle computer ??
well i suppose you could stick the magnet on the inside of the wheel/hub area and the sensor on the upright, but not sure if it would go fast engough for a car but for the price they are i suppose its worth a shot
Yep,I've got one kicking about and intended giving it a go,only problem being,I need the setting value for using 13" wheels with it.Thats
the one thing that could pose a problem !!
Cheers
I doubt if a wire free will keep up with the acceleration on a car. They don't refresh fast enough on a push-bike to be worth taking any notice
of. They're alright for recording trip and top speed though. The setting value is just the circumference of the tyre, measure it with a piece of
string round it and enter the number in millimetres.

Excellent mate,thanks for that,I'll give it a go until I get something a little better set up !!
Thanks for the help
I don't think the wireless ones will work in a car, too much interference, I have had wired ones for years in my car and they work fine, magnet
on a rear drive shaft. Just not very good in the dark though
I know lads use them on supermoto's, work pretty well - but wireless aren't very good.
Worth a crack tho eh?!
believe the wired version has passed sva on a number of occasions - don't forget it needs to be lit on the sidelight circuit.
We've used a wired setup in the racing Mini for quite a while.
The sender is mounted out of harms way(?) in the rear brake drum.
There is a guy I know who used a front light (indicator repeater mounted so it illuminates the screen when on lights - much like those old gameboy
lights) that passed SVA.
I'll find a picture if you're interested.
Sounds like you'll need a wired one (I believe a halfords wired one has passed SVA a number of times).
That would be perfect mate,much appreciated
Picture about 2/3 of the way down this page
