    On my way home today my speedometer quit working. I believe it's the gear unit assembly on the front wheel, the two small tabs are not fully engaging into the slots on the wheel spacer. Anyone else have this happen? Any other ideas as to what it could be? That part alone is going to run me about a $100 if that is it. LOL

    The cable seems fine, I think it's the lower gear unit on the front tire that the cable plugs into. I think the two prongs aren't fully engaging in the notches in the wheel spacer. Anyone else have this problem?

    I have something similar, well, mine works, but riding longer dinstances it starts wobbling even if im on stable speed. Normally its when im above 60 mph, highway driving. If i go slower it seems to stable out. Any clue what it could be about ?
