MOUNTING THE
TURBO® COMP:
The Turbo® Comp wired
speed sensor can mount on
the right or the left side of
the fork blade. Use the
cable tie-wraps provided to
position the sensor. Do not
tighten until the final placement of the sensor magnet
is correct.. (See figure 4).
Wheel magnets have been
provided for
both traditional
round spokes
and bladed
(flat) aerodynamic spokes.
FIGURE 4
Attach the
magnet to a spoke across
from the transmitter with
the magnet screw. The
clearance between the
magnet and the
transmitter
should be
approximately
1/32”-1/16”
(1-2mm).
Tighten the
magnet and
transmitter. Do FIGURE 5
not over-tighten
4
the magnet screw. (See
figure 5).
For wheels with
bladed spokes:
Use some isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or a mild
detergent to thoroughly
clean the spoke that you
plan to attach the magnet
to. Remove the backing
from the adhesive tape and
firmly press the magnet
onto spoke. The tape uses
a special pressure sensitive
adhesive. To ensure a
strong bond, please wait at
least 12 hours for the
adhesive to cure before
riding your bicycle.
Attach the appropriate
mount (26.0mm and
31.8mm sizes are included) to the handlebar using
the bracket screw provided. Tighten so that the
bracket cannot rotate on
the handlebar. There are
several sizing straps provided to fit different diameter bars. (See figure 6).
Slide the computer forward
onto the mount until it
‘snaps’ into place with an
FIGURE 6
audible click. Plug the wire
from the speed sensor into
the socket on the bottom of
your computer To remove
the computer, remove the
speed wire (if connected)
then push it backward until
it releases from the mount.
To test for proper installation of the magnet, transmitter and computer, activate the computer by pushing the ‘MODE’ (right side)
button. Pick up the front of
the bicycle and spin the
front wheel. The “wheel
option” indicator will flash.
If it does not flash, check
the sensor and magnet
alignment. Realign as necessary until the “wheel
option” indicator flashes
while spinning the wheel

mode, distance mode). The
computer can be cycled
through these modes by
pressing the “MODE” button located on the righthand side the MODE/SET
rocker switch. There are
nine cycling modes available: 1) Clock Mode, 2)
Odometer Mode, 3) Trip
Distance Mode 4) Average
Speed Mode, 5) Maximum
Speed Mode, 6) Automatic
Timer Mode, 7)
Timer/Stopwatch Mode,
8)Interval Mode and
9)Distance Countdown
mode. Once you familiarize yourself with the mode
operation you will find it
5
very easy to navigate. The
