I often see on users bikes some kind of gadget on the fork, what are these? I have a Garmin Edge 500 so all the sensors are on the rear wheel and crank, it is just a case of other models having their sensors mounted at the front?
Obvious question, just curious.

Just a plain old bike computer - to record revolutions of the wheel. Cheap and effective.0

As per the pic really, some like Garmin are rear to inc the cadence sensor other brands make theirs for the front forkPain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.0

I have a magnet that sends a signal to the wire all the way up to my Aldi bike computer.
Well advanced me.Hills are like half life - they wait until you're 50% recovered from one before hitting you in the face with the next.

Ahh, not mine, it had a wheel that ran on the tyre like a drum dynamo. Happy daysCoach H. (Dont ask me for training advice - 'It's not about the bike')0 -
