Speedo Problem !

My DT has SM wheels on and apparently the front wheel hub doesnt have anything for the speedo drive to grip to when the wheel is turning , is there anything i can do to fix this problem ?

 Are they actually the original DTX excel rims mate?? reading what you put I guess not? does it look like mine in the pic below?? best thing to do is take pics and get them up so others can see clearly what your talking about smile.gif

I am not 100% sure but the wheels you have are not for the speedo drive type, so that would mean you would need the digital speedo, but I am not 100% sure but wil lwait till someone else knows

Take the cable out, block the hole in the speedo and buy a Trailtech Vapour

Looks the same to me mate plus u got the speedo there lol have u taken it off to check inside it if the 3 little tags are still on the hub if they are then it's ur speedo cable ,, check the cable first as it's easier, jus unscrew the bit on the end of the cable at the drive end ( on the wheel ) and check if the inner part of the cable is still square and that it hasn't frayed and come apart , if that's fine and the tags on the hub are fine then check the inner part of the speedo drive to make things easier clean out the speedo drive thuroly and take a clear close up pic and post up and we can tell ya if it's nakered

yeah I was thinking that Brad mate now he has put a pic up, the little tab (mine only has the one) could of snapped off as they are very delicate as you know..................OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR I know I may have read it wrong but someone sold me the DTX speedo drive once and it wouldnt fit onto my hub either reason being after looking they actually cut it down in the middle bit, so it wouldnt fit over...........hope that makes sense smile.gif
