Install it in the same position as this and you wont go far wrong, you might have to fiddle about with it to get the magnets to pick up so dont do the zip ties up to tight till you have it in the right place. ( This is the sensor for my edge 305, not sure if its the same as the one you have )





HTH

Fizz - thanks for this.

I actually managed to do it (dead simple really) just always worry about sodding things up when I have forked out good money for them...

Just need to test it now. It appears to flash red each time the pedal passes it, does that sound right?

Have let the seat down a bit much I think.

How should it feel when the seat is the right height? When it was too high I was pulling my legs up the up and having to move from side to side...

I know it isn't quite up there with the bikes in this forum, but:

That is a great looking bike man! no need to be humble about your bike, it's the man in the saddle that makes it go that matters.

Have a read of this, I found it very useful http://www.bottombracket.co.uk/saddle-position.html, but then dropped the seat 3mm for a more relaxed ride. Only move the saddle a small amount, like 3-5mm each time until it works for you.

They must be reffering to me, I go so fast

Mine would read, " YES i HAVE PAID MY FECKIN ROAD TAX, 3 TIMES OVER, NOW GET OFF YOUR PHONE WHILST YOU'RE DRIVIN, UNLESS YOU WANT IT HANDS FREE SOMEWHERE, WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE"

lol... you wanna be careful Zap, you might wind yourself up if you're not careful

me and my lowly specialized hardrock sport disc have now done 140 miles in 8 weeks.. Switched to spesh nimbus armadillo road tyres about 30 miles ago - managed to beat my top speed of 33mph with them but not come close to doing it again since. I stupidly tried to tackle a bit of grass banking with a diagonal climb and promptly fell off - will carry it up next time

Now upped my daily ride to 12 miles and looking to add another 3 miles in there soon... Really wanna go to dalby again but scared of slowing everyone down... again. Right enjoyed it, even the falling off bit.

Reckon you might tag along sometime zappy?

Just an in joke,one of our knuckle draggers thinks that all cyclists shouldn't be allowed on the road because they don't pay road tax

Yep, its in the plan, just got to get round to buying the new MTB. I've got my Halfrauds vouchers now, so I'll hopefully order it before the end of the month

Alberto Contador did a lot of damage to the Schleck brothers today, but surely with a deficit of 3:42 that is just too much for him to claw back on the leader?

Ignoring the final parade day, there remains just two stages to be contested, tomorrow another mountain stage,(nowhere near as tough as today's) and a time trial. Is Cadel Evans this year's winner or can the fantastic Contador snatch it away from him?

[fizzwheel]

YES YES YES thats how to win, Nice job Contador and Evans, thats what I want to see attacking and taking risks, not more wheel sucking from the sucky schleck wheel sucky brothers.

One of the schlecks is stuffed now as he cant time trial for toffee, the other one isnt that brilliant either.

Contador looked good I thought, but Evans looks even stronger. But I woudlnt be writing Bertie off. I can see Voeckler getting on the podium if he keeps fighting like this.
