Hi Rich,

E-mail sent.

Keith, if I tell you, will you swap 7s with me...?

Click here!, as they say.

The tricky bit is price. I have long suspected that 7s are overvalued by sellers and now it's my turn... Who has recently sold one and for how much?!

Pierre - who manufactures the "liquid aluminium weld" and what is it meant for? Ie, a sort of 'plastic metal' for fixing things like home radiators? It might help me to track it, or something like it, down.

Thanks

Nick

James - be sure to measure the rolling circumference of the wheel as the tyre distorts in contact with the road.

The Sigma BC1200 only seems to work if the magnet and sensor are in the same plane, ie parallel to each other, rather than forming a 'X' when they pass.

I inititially had some dodgey readings but traced them to a wheel balance weight knocking the sensor.

Failing that, check your maths?

I applied high beardage and measured 10 wheel revolutions to counter error; however, this proved unnecessary as the final reading was only a digit or so out. Subsequent calibration of the Sigma with a GPS showed it to be accurate to a percent or so, and then comparing that with a measured mile it seems accurate to 1/100th of a mile.

Richard - my wheel seemed OK without rebalancing it, but I have since moved the magnet, like Pierres, to the head of a brake disk bolt, so I can swap wheels around and retain the speedo. Although the epoxy glue is only guranateed to about 60 degrees C, it is still there after a couple of trackdays.

There is some detail of mounting the display on my site at www.confessions-of-a-beard.com.

I can't believe it hasn't sold. If you can find a buyer for my 1.6K Supersport, I'll have your Superlight.

I'm not trying to upset anyone, but they're less than that new.

All the best

Nick

I've past your details on Ed, along with Keith's, who e-mailed me direct.

Thanks for your interest.

Ed, very small pictures are here, here and here. It's carried a Toyota Hiace van so is bigger than a Minno!

Regards

A friend is selling a 2 tonne braked trailer, with powered winch. Good condition, approx 4 years old. He can deliver. He's asking for 750UKP and already has an offer of 650UKP.

If anyone is interested, e-mail me and I'll put you in touch.
