Ah yes, makes sense. Bummer Have seen some hacks where the magnet is moved to the crank arm, that could maybe work?

Thanks, but even if it counts rotations wont it technically be doing fewer as it takes longer to complete a rotation?

Yes, remember growing up with VHS and parents talking about how great Betamax was :) Have looked at the Giant and seen it uses a magnet to measure speed. Was thinking if moving the magnet closer to the rim increasing the circumference - would that make the bike think it's going slower than it...

Thanks for the info. Why do you think Specialized is moving away from hub drive?
