Has anyone used this bike computer with a wheel less than 12" in diameter?

I install these speedometers on 8 to 10 inch golf cart wheels. Work great. Live in The Villages Florida Gated community where golf carts are the second mode of transportation 100,000 residents.

Good question, they do give you a formula to figure out the rotational code to enter when installing the sensor. may need to find instructions to see size ranges.

No, but I was able to assemble the entire bike and true the wheels after purchasing the topeak alien ii tool. Not too hard if you are the least bit mechanically inclined

Dorsey, I did verify that this bike computer does accommodate tire sizes 29 x 2.1 and also 29 x 2.3. Let me know if I can assist further.

I'm very familiar w the nxt spinner bike but I have never tried to use this computer on it... but thinking how a computer works it should work I'm not sure how acurate it will be due to the flywheel size difference but if anything it shouldn't be that far off good luck.

Short answer, I don't know. Manual is here file:///D:/Documents%20and%20Settings/John%20Dilsaver.COMPANY-67CDD05/Desktop/3_1_Manual_BC906_USA%20(1).pdf In the set-up you can enter the circumference of the wheel directly (diameter x pi, or diameter x 3.14) and it seems like 29" wheels would work ok.

YES. It will work with 24" wheels, as well as 20 & 16, and the larger wheels found on road / racing 'style' bicycles. If you go to YouTube there are instruction videos for this model... as well as on the actual Sigma site, there is a virtual model where you can play with and familiarize yourself with the functions. The instructions come with some numbers which you can enter in for your particular wheel size. I decided to take a cloth measuring tape and just wrap it around my front wheel. The measurement I got was about 10mm different than what was in the manual... but by measuring your tire yourself, you get a more accurate reading on the computer. YES.

The computer is designed to have the wireless sensor directly underneath it on the front wheel. If you put your bike on a trainer, with the sensor on the rear wheel, the wireless signal will not transmit to the computer. My computer stops receiving the wireless signal when I move it 2 feet away from the sensor. Unless you want to mount the computer over the rear wheel, I recommend looking for a wired bike computer with a long enough wire

Yes. This computer can calculate speed/distance for wheels up to 28". During setup you will be asked to punch in the code for your wheel size that is found in the manual.

Went to a bike shop yesterday with an older scooter 12.5" wheels-not kent scooter. They had bike tires for about 5.99 each that would fit the scooter. Have also bought 12" wheels at bike shop. Do not see why 12" would not fit if 12.5 bike wheels will.

This bike comes with 24 x 1 3/8 wheels. It is a bit of a rare size, a tiny bit bigger than a standard 24" bike wheel and is actually the size that is most common on wheelchairs. My kid is actually riding his bike with wheelchair tires on it (they work fine). If you're replacing a front wheel you could probably just get a standard 24" wheel (much easier to find) but you'll need to get a new tire to match it and the front brake pads may need to be adjusted a bit but it should work fine. I saw a front wheel here on Amazon called "Wheel Master Front Bicycle Wheel 24 x 1.75" that is cheap and gets good reviews.

Probably not, since most folding bikes have wheel diameters at around 16". A good rule would be to see if your rear wheel is at least 26" in diameter.

Robert, the bicycle pictured in the Sunlite ad appears to have wheels in the 24 inch range looking at the adjustment bolt placement. Shouldn't have any installation problems if your frame and gear changing mechanisms are similar. I would guess tipover at speed in turns with taller wheels would also be a concern. Can't answer that as I jury rigged a set to work with 16 inch wheels for my grandson,not very tall at all. Ed

I've had no problems. The foot pedals are a little bigger than my recumbent bike. I really like that. In fact I haven't found anything I don't like about the bike.

No, and the pedals are smaller than what I'm used to. Fortunately I was able to take the pedals with straps off my old bike and use them on this one.

Search Google for Schwinn 12 function computer. There are lots of videos of people setting it up. I hope this helps.

Something I tried and it worked fine: Google the vendor and ask. Generally a 26" wheel bike will handle a 6 footer just fine. I have a 20" folder, am 5'11" and it works fine for me outside of being spendy for tires.

Can't see why not. You can dial up differing wheel diameters in the settings. However, if your wheel diameter is greater than the wheel diameter of a 29" mountain bike, then you are in trouble, because that's about its limit in the settings menue. Can you check with the manufacturer? Ged
