vintage bike speedometer

[MIGZ]

looking for some guidance on how they work and about the small part that goes on the wheel.

Sounds like a good start to a photo thread! I'm interested as well for my Schwinn build.

I picked up one of these on eBay because it was cheap, only issue is it came without instructions.

After messing with it I figured it out, not hard but have to make sure the worm great spins the right direction to provide the input into the gauge.

I think most of the speedos were meant to have the axle piece mounted on the left side of the wheel.

How do people typically attach or route the cable?

Run it down the side of the fork and put some zip ties on it. Gary

I was trying to see if there was a cleaner option, I remembered something I used one previous build so I order some in black .
