I have a problem with the speedo drive on my Marshin Cheetah :scooter:

It appears that the cable drive (that is part of the front wheel) is giving up the ghost. It appears to be part of the front hub and I am guessing expensive to fix.

I figure that I have two choice:

a) Bite the bullet and pay some $$$ to get it fixed - it only cost me $1,400 to buy the bike so dont want to spend heaps on it

b) Get another form of speed measuring device for it - cycle computer, GPS or any other suggestions.

One further thing to keep in mind is that I am going for my full in a month and a half so wont be keeping the bike for much after that. I do however need to get a warrant with it so it will need to be VTNZ friendly......

Thanks in Advance

Not really sure about this one so you will need to carefully check this out but I understand that you can fit a bicycle speedo device to your front wheel and the other bit to your handle bar. To be legal you need to keep a log book of the kms that you do with the dates.

I guess there is always the trusty alternative of going to your freindly wrecker to get sorted.

Good luck
