Fitting a cateye speedo tommorrow and in some of the pics on here the sensor is facing forward on some of the photos.

Why?

Is there a reason.......is it something to do with if you pop a spoke?

What way is recommended.

    If the sensor is behind the forks, the wheel's rotation may drag it further into the spokes, if it touches. In front, the wheel knocks it away. Also, with cordless sensors, it is closer to line-of-sight with the receiver on the handlebars.

    I got thrown out of my local swimming baths once when I wore my Speedo shorts.

    Turned out the 'S' had worn off...
