i'm trying to jam in some rubber washers for some friction. :wink:
So it wasn't miswiring that was keeping my speedo from working, it was a the physical sensor.
I had one washer in between the bearings of the rear wheel and the speedo rotor (that little metal/plastic sleeve with the 4 prongs). I had shaved off 2mm from the rotor as per instructions in a write-up, but I wuoldn't reccomend doing that unless you think you need to.
I ended up smushing in 2 rather thick rubber washers that I cut to fit over the bearings. one side of the rubber washer touches ONLY the bearings of the wheel, the other side is pressed into by the speedo rotor's 4 prongs.
so far i've only been back and forth to work a few times, but it has been working great. not sure about the longevity of this fix, but for now it works great.
also haven't calibrated it yet, but from what I hear from others, it shoud be about right.
