front spoke sensor????
- Thread starter Eneale

Is it the speed sensor? they are normally a magnet attached to the spoke and a sensor attached to the frame
Most are on the back wheel - but the front would work the same
It could also be the same thing but connected to a speedo/bike computer - possibly by a previous owner and not removed

Yes as Michael has said for a speed sensor or a wireless/wired bike computer if you have recently acquired the bike.
Hi Michael
I have checked and it is Magnectic, i have attached a couple of Pics.

I can see the magnetic thing on the spoke - looks like a speed sensor to me
Does it pass very close to something on the front fork as the wheel goes round?
and if so what is this connected to??
can't quite see that side of the forks to tell

Hi Michael
Thanks for your help with this, i have attached a better view i think.
as you will see the magnetic bud is rather low on the fork and the only thing i can see that would pick it up would be the piece strapped to the fork covered in plastic, if this is the case do you think the Magnetic Bud needs to be further up the spoke.

I could really do with an image from the other side with the wheel rotated so it is just about to pass the front fork
and one from directly in front - as close to the wheel as you can get it
I need to see what, if anything, the magnet is passing close to
Basically to work, the magnet needs to pass a sensor on the fork - normally VERY close - about 1 mm or so away - is there anything like this??
