Yep. :oops:

So do these digital speedos work at high speeds or are they just as inaccurate?

Mines pretty exact, computed from the wheel diameter.

Shows 30 on speedo as 28. Actual 30 is around 33. It's only a cheapy one too, cost me £10. Sigma's aren't too expensive either and seem to be the fave...

I'll share my tip for magnet mounting in that case...

If you look on the front brake disc rotors, there are some round holes about 15mm where the carrier joins the disc - these are excellent for putting magnets in and travel close enough to the fork to mount the sensor.
