Mounted dial-type speedometer driven by a cable that was attached at My brother’s late ‘60s Schwinn Speedster 3-speed had a handlebar.

Thousand miles, and on fast downhills, the pin could deflect the unitĮnough to make it hit out of alignment on the next rotation. Odometer, which was mounted on the hub axle. Pin attached to one spoke, which spun a star-shaped wheel on the There are several old technology speedometers and odometers. But Honestly, you could see a more stable Needle Movement when Riding, with the InBetween the Spokes Type of End on Cable from the Speedometer. And again, on this 1985 Le Tour Luxe, they installed the same Speedometer, with the Small Wheel on End of Cable. I asked the owner why? And he replied, that I had no choice.since I had Quick Release Wheels, I needed the small wheel End of Cable.that rides along the Tire Sidewall. Then when I got a New Continental, in 1980, the same Schwinn Shop, installed the same Schwinn Speedometer, but this time, with the Small Sidewall Wheel on the End of the Cable. When I had my 1976 BiCentenial Varsity, I had the same Schwinn Speedometer, but the Cable was different, well the End was the between the spokes type of End on Cable, but my Varsity had Bolt on Wheels. The Era was very Late 1970's into the 1980's, which was right along with Quick release Wheels. I cant believe that more people in the Bike World have not seen these Cable Ends with the Sidewall Wheel on the End of cable. But I thought more along the lines you mention. Someone mentioned that a 27 inch tire has less revolutions per mile than a 20 inch tire, therefore it would be inaccurate on a 20 inch tire. That is the part that caused the conflicting answers in the other forum. But was Told, that with Quick Release Wheels, I had to have this Kind of End, with Small Wheel, riding on Sidewall. I always liked the other End of cable better, that goes in Between the Spokes, because there was less Bobbing of the Needle when Riding, it was more Steady on the Speed your Traveling at.

Anyway, I have 27' Tires, and the Special End of my Speedometer Cable, is instead of being the between the Spokes End, It is a Small Box, that Mounts onto my front Fork, and then has a Small Black Plastic Wheel on the End, that Rides Along the SideWall of my Front Tire. Again, this is the Chrome Analog Schwinn Speedometer and Odometer that mounts on Handlebars, and has a Reddish/Orange Needle that monitors your speed, while riding. Well, since my bike has 'Quick Release' Wheels, I had to have a different End on my Speedometer Cable. On my 1985 Schwinn le Tour Luxe, I have a Schwinn Speedometer, that was put on when I bought the bike, from the Schwinn Shop. I have asked this question, in a different forum before, and got conflicting answers.
