I've got a several bicycle computers sitting around with different types of attachment mechanisms. One has the magnet attached to the spokes, another attaches to two spokes. The sensors have different ways to attache too, but generally they are set up to attach to a narrow bicycle fork. I'd like to hear how people attached the sensors to the KLR? The forks are huge (compared to a bicycle) and so are the spokes. If I am able to get them attached they are way too far apart to sense the wheel rotation. It would be really nice to be able to use some of these computers but Mike

selecting a bike computer is water resistance. If the description doesn't state up front that it is fairly water resistant you can be pretty certain it isn't. Also, I don't know if the wireless ones would work with engine electrical noise.

KLR and Softtail, ok. Mixed with the big gixxer makes for a most interesting assortment of bikes.

The two ways I've attached the magnet/sender units to the wheel: 1) safety-wired to a thin bracket I made, that I bolted through one of the lightening holes in the disk (between the braking surface and the disk center) 2) with silicon sealant, mounting the sender inside one of the lightening holes. tape it in place with the sealant, and it's cured in the morning. Works for me. Chris ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: Mike McC Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2006 12:52:37 -0800 (PST)

Here's what I do... Go down to Radio Shack and ask for a rare-earth magnet. They come two or three to a bag and are about 1/8 inch in diameter. Find an unobstructed spot on the disc and slap it on. Good ta go. I rode this way for hundreds of miles and the magnet never moved; then got anal and put a drop of superglue on it. The beauty of this is that the rare - earth is SO strong, you can locate the pickup much further from the magnet and it still generates a strong signal. I use them on all my bicycles too; it eliminated fiddling with the pickup to get it to work. And a question: On my other bike the standard wire length from the computer to the pickup was too short. Does the Sigma unit require the 'tandem' (ie extra length) wire length to reach the wheel ? Regards Coop
