Thanks Martin.

Yeah thats the one many of us have, and it will need to be rewired
(extended).

Hi Denis

I picked up a 'Smart' brand computer from DSE in Botany yesterday – it was
the only brand they had that I
could see. Also $36, it's in a lime green box and the only place the brand
appears is on the actual unit
visible though the window on the front of the box. The Box just says "3 in

1

Cycle Computer – model F9116".
They had about 3 or 4 left yesterday afternoon.

According to the instructions it is fully adjustable for wheel

circumference

(in mm increments) from 2999mm
down to 10mm! Beats me how they could fit the magnet onto a wheel that

small

though. Have yet to try fitting
it to the Kart. It will need some form of extension as the wire from

sensor

to head unit is only 800mm long.
Has km/h or MPH speeds – current speed, average speed, max speed (0.0 to

199

9 km/h, or 0 to 110 mph), trip
time, 24hr clock, alarm clock, trip distance, max speed alarm (fully
adjustable up to 199.9 km/h – anyone game
to try THAT?!?), trip time alarm (in case you have an apointment to get

back

for!) and trip distance alarm.

Instructions also specify it is a most advanced model, and they believe it
will become an inseperable friend!

Regards
Martin

Dave,

Are yousure the brand was 'Smart'
'DSE only have the 'Liam' model ($36) but I want to make sure I get a
replacement that can do the job. There are no useful specs on it.

Cheers
Denis

Hi Denis.

Your adaption sounds great. You should take some pics and post it on the
Smartgroup to show others.

I knew the limitation of the new Cateye's, so avoided buying that type.

The Smart brand speedo has given me no trouble at all, and I have reached
and recorded speeds of around 65kph. (Very hard to control at that speed!)

Hi Dave,

Interested in your speedo adaptation, as I have been experimenting quite a
bit as well.

I am using a 10-year old 'Cateye Mitty 100' but it can't process the
information past 20 pulses/sec which is about 53 km/h.

How fast can the Smart brand' register?

(I made up a reed switch and slid it up inside the front fork, then

drilled

a hole up directly into the steering column – so there is no visible

wiring

or sensors at all. It's a very reliable arrangement since it can't get
knocked or wet.)

Regards

Denis

For value for money, I think the best bike computer you can get, which

will

calibrate for a Blokart wheel is the "Smart" brand available from Dick

Smith

electronics for $35 ish. I think that this is the type that the Blokart

guys

have modified.

I know of many people that have used this speedo, and if you are not

afraid

of doing a little re-wiring yourself then they work perfectly. I have

tested

the accuracy against my Garmin GPS unit, and it agreed almost perfectly.

The

key is to enter the correct circumference of your tyre at the laden

pressure

There is nothing wrong with the accuracy of the GPS's these days if all

you

want is a speed reading.

I have wired my bike computer through the handlebar piece, so it is
effectively 'cordless'. You just have to remember to disconnect it when

you

pull the handlebar out. Some people have done much better jobs than I

have,

and may have their advice also.

Keep in mind that this is only MY opinion, but hope this helps.

Dave

I am also interested in the best type of speedo. Has anyone any
comment on the accuracy of the small GPSs you can buy now?
