    I was out a run the other day and my speedo would only read about 20mph even when doing 60 or more. Under 30 or so mph it doesn't move. Would this be a cable problem or pick up problem?

    Just checked with a drill on the end of the speedo cable and nothing so think it might be the speedometer that's the problem. :-(

    Does anyone know about the internals of the speedometer? I took it apart and it look like the speedo cable turns a magnet which then moves the needle with the magnetic pull. Anyone know if these magnets lose their magnetism?
