5.There are two spoke magnet options. You only need to install one of them. One is installed by rotating it around the spoke before putting the metal cover on, another by tightening the screw. The magnet must be facing the speed sensor.

6.Fine-tune the positioning of both the magnet and the sensor so that the magnet passes the sensor closely but does not touch it. The maximum distance between the speed sensor and the spoke magnet should be 5 mm/ 0,2". Once positioned correctly, tighten the cable ties securely and cut off any excess cable tie ends.

Your safety is important to us. While riding your bike, please keep your eyes on the road to prevent possible accidents and injury. Check that you can turn the handle bar normally and cable wires for brakes or gearing do not catch on the sensor. Check also that the sensor does not disturb pedalling or the use of brakes or gearing.
