Wheel Size and Circumference

Your speed sensor automatically detects your wheel size. If 

necessary, you can manually enter your wheel circumference in 

the speed sensor settings.
The tire size is marked on both sides of the tire. This is not a 

comprehensive list. You can also measure the circumference of 

your wheel or use one of the calculators available on the 

internet.
