Abstract

PURPOSE:To accurately measure running speeds even if a space between a frame and spoke is changed by providing an adjusting means adjusting the mounting position of a detected means. CONSTITUTION:When a space between a detecting means 8 mounting onto a frame 10 and a detected means 1 mounted onto a spoke 6 is narrow, the spoke 6 is penetrated into a deep groove 4 acting as one of an adjusting means so that the detected means 1 is thereby fixed. And when the space between a detecting means 8 and the detected means 1 is wide, the spoke 6 is penetrated into a shallow groove 5 acting as one the adjusting means so that the detected means 1 is thereby fixed. Thus, when the mounting position of the detected means 1 is adjusted by means of the grooves 4 and 5, even if the space between the frame 10 on which a wheel is mounted, and the spoke 6 is changed by the kinds of bicycles, and manufacturers, the space between the detecting means 8 and a magnet 2 can thereby be kept optimum while it is prevented from being excessively wide or narrow with the mounting position of the detected means 1 adjusted by the adjusting means.
