Speedometer


Is there any info anywhere on how to properly modify a
Bicycle speedometer for use on a buggy?

I don’t know how much longer my duct tape will hold up:spin:

Put a 1/2 to 1 inch wide by 4 inch long piece of Velcro on the down tube about half way is ok. Then you put the same size piece on your GPS. Then you apply the two together. Works better, looks cool, and it is a heck of a lot more accurate also.

speedo


Hey Dave
I used to put a bike speedo on and would break a wire, then got a new one, snapped the magnet pick-up, then busted another one - each one was about 20.00 then just saved up the Canadian Tire money and got a GPS - it's the best. You can use it winter kiting and buggying.
Are you going to make it to Wasaga this year - or come on down to NABX next week and bunk in our room.....come on...!
