A look at the 3 main components of a simple analogue speedometer, and how the system works.
The speedo unit, the wheel mount unit, connecting cable.
The cable on the bike concerned snapped so the cable shown in the video is a 2nd hand replacement I had lying around. It was suitable to use for demonstration in this video, but is actually way too short to use on the bike. I will need to find a longer on before i reinstall the speedometer on the bike.
I thought it was useful to see the system working with the power drill attached. And it was very interesting to see how the odometer could be rolled backwards by reversing the drill. I know the video doesn't show much detail on this point, but it was scary to see how easy that was to do. I know I won't believe the mile counter on an analogue speedometer again anytime soon!
Questions welcome!
