I recently had a sigma BC 1200 computer installed on my bike. I bought it
and paid for installation at a reputable bike shop. On the 15km ride home
everything appeared to work, but the next day I took my bike out for a 

short


ride and immediately noticed that the display was showing my speed at 

either


below my speed (half, a third etc) or at 0kmh. When the bike is 

stationary


I can spin the wheel and the speed will usually show what I'm guessing is
the correct speed. The next ride I was getting 0kmh most of the time, 

other


than right turns. I'm thinking that the right turns move the magnet
slightly closer.. Anyway in the manual it does say that the magnet should
be 5mm max. from the sensor/switch. The closest it reaches is about 8mm. 

Is


this the likely cause? I would usually trust the manual, but I'd also 

like


to think I can trust this bike shop.. What do you think? btw the 

computer


has not been exposed to any rain.

Thanks, Ted 

Move them closer together by sliding the magnet down the spokes closer to
the hub if possible, and the sensor further down the fork leg to match.


Shaun aRe - I made my own magnet out of 3 neodymium (sp?) disc magnets
stacked, and zip tied them to the spokes inside an old piece of inner tube -
I can set a passing riders computer off with the thing.

You Aussies get a little snow and you lose all control! Calm down. I was referring to your top-posting. If you would have posted your reply under instead of over, you would have seen what my comment was referring to. I fixed it for you in this message.

And actually, it is morning here.  You should be the one going to bed.
