Sounds like a keeper to me! ;-)

Ah. ok. Makes sense.

1. Mount the wheel magnet on a spoke of the rear wheel so the surface of
the magnet faces the sensor.
2. Mount the speed sensor (long cord) on the left chainstay with nylon
ties.
....plus a picture of the rear wheel and circles and arrows. ;-p
So far, the sensor(s) have survived a windy bike ride, and a ride home in
the back of my car.
Thanks for the info!
