Sigh.

What's the problem? Can't route the wires correctly? Can't get the sensor and magnet close enough to each other?
I fucking hate dealing with the finicky ass things
>>978328
I have a cateye and what drove me nuts was the engrish instructions that gave confusing and slightly wrong directions
It took me about 40 minutes of fucking around before I figured out the exact sequence of press-and-hold, double-press, and taps to set it up.
Needless to say I found it entirely by accident, so when the battery dies it's going to be another wasted 40 minutes
The sensors were the easy part, other than breaking the first set of zip ties trying to get it to fit at just the right tension on my tapered fork

Cateye mounting instructions are generally aimed at one kind of bike and in some cases those directions are completely wrong for many other kinds of bikes
Where to mount the sensor and where to mount the magnet are basically the same question. You want them to be close enough for the sensor to work, and preferably the magnet should be far enough from the axle that it can give a good reading at fairly low speeds (but this is probably the least important factor compared to just finding a good spot in general)
Try posting a picture of your front fork
jesus guys its a cateye, a 10 yr old could probably figure out how to install this.
The most difficult part of this was pulling the fucking zip ties tight enough. Fucking cunt things

LOL why would you do that?
>Get Ant+ compatible handlebar comp
>Get Garmin Ant+ wireless speed sensor (pic related)

It's like you don't even love mindless consumerism
>>978409
I only have one on my training commuter, but for my actual commuter I needed to shave weight. I am down to 25lbs from 27
How are people this retarded? Do you know what YouTube or Google is?
>>978403
These things are fucking neat, and honestly a pretty elegant and simple solution, I can't fucking believe the markup on them though, probably the single biggest instance of price-gouging in the cycling industry, which is really saying something.
I mean, they're literally ten times simpler and cheaper to produce than a traditional bike computer, yet cost nearly ten times as much as a whole wired bike computer bundle? come on.

No elevation data, but its not like a piece of shit cateye is going to give you that either.
Boom, GPS computer for 65, no need for bullshit sensors. Put mountain hardware on all your bikes, clip it in and go.
>>978445
>GPS computer
No thanks, I prefer to actually know how fast I'm going, not how fast the GPS is slewing when it got confused because I went between some buildings or I had a wall of rock on one side of me.

>it's more expensive therefore it's better
If I made a sensor computer with a couple of grams of platinum embedded in it, would you buy it? Or only if it's programmed to randomly fuck up the speed reading for fun?
>>978452
Hey man, don't get mad I'm richer than you, and therefore whiter than you.
Should probably work harder or you'll always stay poor and mad

Well then enjoy your cheap Chinese shit tech and wires all over your bike.
Besides don't most of you have N+1 bikes?
>2016
>Having to buy a handlebar computer for EVERY BIKE YOU OWN because you buy cheap Chinese shit electronics
>not buying 1 decent Ant+ setup and easily transferring it from bike to bike in *seconds*
It's like you want to throw your money away or something.

/pol/ go back to your cage or we'll send the snipers after you next.
