Installing a Cycling Computer the Cool Way...

[SuperRomo1997]

bike man for u seems better to me



[djdiamond755]

kinda looks like aaron rodgers....

[JJAJJA]

It's not cool if your computer has a wire.... gosh...

[bipedalame]

@JJAJJA wired computers don't go mad when surrounded by other wired computers.

[dangernba]

Thanks, brow. And shave this mustache off, for god's sake...

[s0meguy0001]

uh... that's not the cool way (you don't need zip ties).

and what poser would have record 10sp levers but yet still have chinsy tektro brakes on their bike?

[MrRichardkidd]

@s0meguy0001 Surely someone that only cares about picking up speed... I'd rather have slick gears than powerful brakes. I run Ultegra shifters with Tektro brakes!

[GabeXI]

It always helps to see someone actually install something and walk you through it--thanks for posting this video.

[jpisc1]

Thank you. This video was very helpful.

this guy has a gay stash

[BillieJean900]

i have a rock shox fork does it work too?

[12niets]

That bike looks light as a feather !! damn i need one of those !!

[brutaka359]

you look like Bin Ladden

[hoseb87]

this nigga took all the tast and flavor out of something coo mang. so lifelifess and dry. get it together son DANG

[abelbalbo1978]

you look like David Arquette...

[cringeworthytv]

Very very boring

He looks like he hates his life..

does it matter wher you put your magnet

[xWHITExEAGLEx]

@ballerboy27100 Well it is generally recommended you align both the magnet and the sensor close to the axle because the wheel is spinning slowest there. That way the sensor has ample time to detect the magnet so that you don't get strange readings at high speeds.

[v35k037V]

@xWHITExEAGLEx

Umm the wheel spinning the slowest there...A single wheel can spin a different speeds at the same time. Since when does that happen ?

[danfromengland]

@v35k037V The speed of anything that is spinning is greater the further you move away from the center (the outside has further to travel per rotation).

[v35k037V]

@danfromengland True, true, but you cannot tell me that it matters if you put the sensor close to the fulcrum or not, because the magnet will go past it with the same frequency regardless of its position (plus on a road bike like sometimes the spokes are too close to the fork to put the sensor close to the axle and you have to set it up higher)

[xWHITExEAGLEx]

@v35k037V Yes the frequency will be the same regardless of how far along the radius you go but what I meant was that if the magnet/sensor is positioned near the axle then their rotational velocity is less, so the magnet spends a longer time close to the sensor so that it won't miss a rotation and give incorrect speed/distance. Just think of it as if it has to travel a smaller circumference in the same length of time.

[xWHITExEAGLEx]

@v35k037V It doesn't matter as much if you get a powerful magnet.

[Wooxful]

@xWHITExEAGLEx Objections! Wheel is spinning fastest the closer axle. Think about it makes sence.

[xWHITExEAGLEx]

@Wooxful No... the wheel "spins" slower, the closer it is to the axle.....

[kjplive]

@Wooxful Wheel is spinning fastest at the outside. The magnet will have passed the sensor the same number of times regardless of the placement of the sensor, however the actual speed of which the magnet is travelling IS faster the closer to the tire it is.

Think of a windmill blade, would you rather hang on to the very tip as it spins or closer to the shaft?

[bipedalame]

@kjplive both of you are wrong . they are both spinning at the same speed. attached to the same hub. they both do the same rpm. the nearer the spoke to the rim , the greater distance it travels. if it's closer to the hub, it has to be stronger.

[kjplive]

@bipedalame No matter where along the spoke you place the magnet it will be the same rpm, you're right. However the speed greatly varies along the length of the spoke. Closer to the rim is faster, closer to hub is slower. Placing the magnet closer to the hub allows the sensor more time to "see" the magnet and helps to avoid innaccurate readings. Pretty simple stuff, as I said earlier, would you rather hang on to the tip of a windmill blade or sit at the center? Which end is moving faster? Think.

[feelineGA]

great video . Thanks

[BigCatsWildlife]

you kind of look like Nicolas Cage!

[chopsyuk]

Thx that's helped a lot

[optimad51]

thanks mate

[jackwski]

BC 800 ?

I have the same computer.

[guitarfd0280]

very nice vid dude thanks for the help..

[simi1996simi]

you could make a tutorial and installed VENTURA III as we please in need

sorry for my English

[regisiam]

Before installing this one I want to uninstall my old speedometer. How can I remove the sensor from the frame of the wheel without scratching the frame? Seems to me impossible using what knife, scissor ...how?

[ninokrtanjek]

@regisiam Use some small wire cutters

[eitanito]

great instructional video !

[MaikUniversum]

at last, the most informative video abouyt installing a computer. Thanks, now I can try it with my sister's bike computer, lol
