MODEL A - Purchase Replacement Speedo Online

Post by Brent » November 15th, 2015, 9:45 am

Hi Everyone,

I found this website ( http://www.pistonbikes.com/product-p/jbspd.htm ) while searching for a replacement speedo for a schwinn airdyne, and thought I would let other model A owners know that a replacement exists. Here is the link to the thread, http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthrea ... 461&page=1 .

Thanks again to those who responded to my original posts.

Thanks for the tip on the site-- I've been trying to find a replacement for a speedometer on my old Airdyne. It's a solid old machine, and a pretty decent workout can be had on one.

Glad I could help :)
If you know anyone who lives in Winnipeg and is looking to sell either their rower or airdyne, please have them PM me.
Cheers,

It looks like it would work ok. I've ordered one for C2 to check out and I'll let you know my findings.....C2JonW

I purchased one of these http://www.pistonbikes.com/product-p/jbspd.htm
and it seems to fit and work ok on a model A. It's drive ratio is different so scores are going to be skewed and not comparable. While the stock Model A speedo registers 1/10 of a mile for every 90 revolutions of the flywheel, this replacement unit registers 1/10 every 70 revolutions. C2JonW

So the maths is simple. New score * (7/9) == old score.
