Using zip ties or clips, secure any loose wires to the bike frame to prevent them from dangling and interfering with your biking experience.
Step 7: Test the Speedometer
Double-check all connections and make sure everything is properly secured. Test the speedometer by spinning the wheel and verifying if the display shows the speed and other data accurately.
Step 8: Calibrate the Speedometer
If your speedometer requires calibration, follow the instructions provided with your particular model to ensure accurate readings.
