| Any body done this? I want to put a sensor off the rear axle or off the flywheel some how. Do not want any cables on my front fork. Any ideals? Thanks, Kent |

A GOOD SITE TO JOIN UP ON FOR THIS IS Triketalk.com lots of people there can help.. I am also doing a vw trike. I have seen this done before you have to drill the tin behind the hub and be careful of placement check out the other site prolly can help better. |

I've seen solutions like this used to provide a signal for an aftermarket electronic speedometer...

This application is too large for a T1 CV, but similar sized chopper wheels are available for T1 CV's.

I think this would actually be easier than a chopper wheel(a lot easier if you have a swingaxle and no CVs) and probably just as cheap and accurate

Another chopper wheel/pulse generating ring source -

The Quick Sync GPS was an option that I wasn't aware of... how does it do in mountainous terrain/cities with high-rise buildings, etc? Any tales of satellite 'line of sight' issues?

| I'm sure there are interruptions in areas like you mention, but its probably rare unless you live in a city like NY and if you stay moving its probably brief. |
