Polar Speed Sensor Mounting on Aero Blade Fork - SECURE SOLUTION!
Hi all. I thought I'd share this little trick I came up with to
securely mount a Polar Speed Sensor to an Aero blade fork. I searched the internet for hours and found that others had the same frustrations as myself, but nobody had a solution. I got this idea and tried it out. I used a section of 1/2 inch PVC pipe and cut a slice out of its length with a hack saw. Then I filed the sharp edges off and cleaned it up. I cut an inner tube so as not to use the glue-backed crap that came with the sensor (it's stiff and makes a mess). Finally, I slid the PVC pipe over the fork using the cut-up inner tube as insulation to prevent my fork from getting scratched. When I paint it black, it will look fantastic and it will be extremely functional--no more having to move the sensor back into place after a ride on the roof-rack or a rough road. I was going to paint the PVC but in my haste, I let it be. In any case, it provides a super stable mounting area for the sensor and doesn't wobble around at all. I'll eventually take it off and paint it black, but, I just want to ride now that I have it mounted well. If you want to see pics, you'll need to join Yahoo's "Polar S625X" Group ... the pics are posted in the files section. I hope this helps someone else. Take care, Rich (don't reply ... dead address ... ultimate spam prevention) |
