hey kids.
Kev was nice enough to give me a vapor, including the speedo sensor.
Seeing as i have already mounted a hall effect speedo sensor for the front wheel with 4 magnets, i thought i would try just rip off 3 of the magnets, put the TT sensor in the same spot and all would be good... not so.
I got it all set and it just didn't play the game. when i have the sensor away from the bike and wipe magnets past it it registers, but it seems when it is on the fork bottom and the magnets on the rotor i have no joy.
I can even swipe magnets past the sensor when it is mounted and its all fine, it's just when i have a magnet on the rotor it doesn't trigger.
here is a pic of how i have it mocked up. Anyone got any advice? do i need bigger/better magnets?
