can this be calibrated to a small 12 inch diameter wheel?

Hi Ed, I converted 12" to 304.8 mm, I then entered 0305 into the computer and it took, no problem. Some advice, First you need to determine the exact tire diameter in MM. To do this is pretty easy. 1st, place the tire air valve so that it is in the 6 o'clock position and mark the floor with Tape, erasable marker or even a tooth pick. Then move the bike forward till the tire valve again reaches 6 o'clock and mark the floor then measure the distance between the 2 points with a tape measure. If your tape is not metric, no problem, just Google "Convert X inches, including any fractions to MM" and google will do it for you instantly. Please note that this and many other brands will tell you to have the rider sit on the Bike while moving from point a to b as the tire will flatten slightly and give you a very slight but different measurement. I did not do this, my reading was exactly 2000 mm and that works for me. you can also go to 'youtube' and enter "how to measure tire circimference on a bike for a cycling computer" and see someone do it. Another thing to keep in mind is that No Cycling Computer Mfr will tell you where on the wheel spoke to place the Magnet or the Transmitter. Why? because it doesn't matter. Some people claim it is better near the hub while others will say it is better near the rim. Technically the hub spins faster than the rim, but you'll notice the valve and the hub reach full circle at the EXACT SAME TIME. I placed mine closer to the Rim 'cause it does not stand out (I will post a picture) and the wireless transmitter being closer to the computer will give me better performance over a longer period of time. I hope this answers your question and then some. BTW, this computer is a lot easier to set than others that have way more functions added.

Yes, it will work with a 12" diameter wheel. That converts to 957mm (12" * 25.4 mm/" * 3.1415927--the answer below forgot pi). I use this with my Trikke T12 which has 12" wheels.

I do not think, the manual shows the measurements of the wheels and I have seen that there is to that extent, my bike is 18, anyway tomorrow morning give security because right now I have no manual to hand. regards

My wheel is about 41.25 inches around. That gives a diameter of around 13 inches.

Possibly, it's just a simple pin that holds it in so if you could find a wheel that inserts in and is held by the pin. I dont see why not.

Yes it would matter. The length of the device is spelled out, and take a quick measurement of your wheel spacing to ensure you have the proximity you need to make it work for your application

Yes. This computer can calculate speed/distance for wheels up to 28". During setup you will be asked to punch in the code for your wheel size that is found in the manual.

Yes, the manual has a wheel size chart which includes 26x1 - 26x2.125 as well as 26x1/38 - 26x3/4. Or you can measure the circumference of the wheel with tire mounted. One rotation of the wheel measured in mm equals the number for computer input.

Yes, each wheel has 4 or 5 settings very low to very high. Easy to adjust each setting.

Kurt Kinetic makes an adaptor to use if you have smaller wheels. I have a 20 real wheel and I had to get the adaptor for it. It can be taken off and on with a couple tools for using standard size wheels and the 20" and smaller.Jim

Probably not. The little magnet attaches to spokes on a bike. Unless you have spokes and room for the send unit, you aren't going to get a signal. You might jimmy-rig something. The computer has directions to determine wheel size. Not a great deal of money involved so you don't have much too lose messing with it.

Yes. Calibration is not a big deal. it is a matter of choosing a weight and a distance from the head and applying a simple formula. Simply do a web search for calibrating a torque wrench. There are multiple sites with detailed instructions.

I'm not 100% certain, but I'd say no. This is a very large difference (12mm or ~0.5inch). I can imagine that it won't clinch to the wheel.

It is best to measure the center hole of the wheel. Mine were 55mm size, whatever that worked out to in inches (which i measured in) worked out.

It can be calibrated the same way any torque wrench is cal'd. Any precision calibration shop will be able to do it. Scott Reilly, A&P Mechanic

it will if you have spokes to connect the magnet to and you know the circumference of the wheel.

Yes, I can confirm that the wheel is exactly 10" in diameter. I measured it just to be certain.

You are correct, Al. This wheel will work with tires from 1.75 to 2.25 inches wide. I put a 2.25 inch tire on the wheel and it's doing fine. Your 2 inch tires will fit as well. Don't forget to add the rim tape and a tube.
