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.
