you will have to remove the sensor from the frame and mount it in a different place and put the magnet on the spokes if it is on the disc rotor.

For some reason it won’t let me send photos the guy from the store has just rang to say I need a universal adaptor for the speed sensor which he is sending out but with speed sensor unscrewed I have very limited wire I can just about flip it around 180degrees

all you need to do is get it so the magnet passes over it but you can get a new sensor with a longer cable if needed.

So it doesn’t matter where mounted as long as magnet can pass it and I guess magnet needs to be kinda close to sensor

yes as long as the magnet passes over the dongle it will work they put the sensors in the frame like that to stop you using these things but it is a simple fix most of the time and just move the sensor where you can mount the dongle over it.

a m8 has a canyon ebike and they done the same sort of thing and put the magnet on the disc rotor but just pulled out the sensor and used a adaptor like you also need and works just fine.
