Hi Peter and All,
It's all right for you but civilisaton and Wilkinsons stop at Plymouth.
I was lucky once and got a Cycle Speedo which actually went down to 4" dia
wheels. It must have been a funny bike.
Since then so that I can use the normal speedo's available which start at
about 16" wheels I have had to use a little gearbox to drive the magnet
around.
As there is no real force involved, I find that a friction drive from one
of the axles is sufficient and simply have a rubber faced wheel about 2" dia
driven from a 1/2" axle to give the required reduction.
Regards
Clif
