Re: [BikeE] Vetta Bike E cyclometer

Just splice in some wire.  If you can solder that will make the most dependable connections.  I almost always splice in a splice of heavier wire when I get a new computer.  The stock stuff is so cheap/lightweight that is takes almost no abuse.

installed it on my Bike E. I tried to install it tonight and the wire
was too short. Everything I have read about Bike E cyclometers have
stated not too worry they have extra long wires. Well not this one!
Now what to do?? Can I splice? Just hang it up and get a wireles or
use the one I had before that didn't work with a small wheeled Bike E.
Thanks Sue

The wire is coaxial (small wire inside a conductive outer shield) and is so fine that I found it impossible to work with. I can solder, and have built numerous...

There is no commonality between cabling for these things. What you see on one computer will not be seen on another. After splicing at least 8 different...

Who knows what else they did then. You could use a pickup made from a two wire hall effect sensor and maybe that requires shielding? Doesn't make sense to me...
