Determining Wheel Circumference
In order for the Axiom Cyclocomputer to accurately compute distance and speed, you must enter your actu-
al wheel circumference. There are two methods of determining your wheel circumference: 1) the Tire Size
Chart Method or 2) the Roll Out Method (the Roll Out Method gives you a higher degree of accuracy).
Method 1 - Tire Size Chart Method
Using the chart below, locate the size of tire that you will be using on your front wheel. The wheel circum-
ference (in mm) is shown to the right of the tire size.
Example: for a tire size of 700x25, the corresponding wheel circumference is 2086 mm - 2086 is the number
you need to program into your computer.

Method 2 - Roll Out Method
Stand your bicycle upright. With your tire inflated to its proper pressure, rotate your wheel so that the valve
is located at the bottom. Make a mark of the valve’s location on the floor. Roll the bicycle one complete
wheel revolution, in a straight line, until the valve is again at the bottom. Mark this new location of the
valve on the corresponding point on the floor. Measure the distance between the marks, in millimeters (mm).
This is the value of the wheel circumference that you need to program in to your computer. (Note: inches multi-
plied by 25.4 converts inches into mm; i.e. 1 inch = 25.4 mm).

Tire Size
Method 2 - Roll Out Method
Stand your bicycle upright. With your tire inflated to its proper pressure, rotate your wheel so that the valve
is located at the bottom. Make a mark of the valve’s location on the floor. Roll the bicycle one complete
wheel revolution, in a straight line, until the valve is again at the bottom. Mark this new location of the
valve on the corresponding point on the floor. Measure the distance between the marks, in millimeters (mm).
This is the value of the wheel circumference that you need to program in to your computer. (Note: inches multi-
plied by 25.4 converts inches into mm; i.e. 1 inch = 25.4 mm).

Initial Set Up
Your Axiom 8.0 will compute distance and speed functions in either miles or kilometers. Press the MODE button
until ODO, odometer, is displayed. Press both buttons at once for two seconds, the kilometer (km/h) or the mile
(m/h) symbols will be displayed. Press the MODE button to toggle between the measuring units (i.e. km/h
or m/h). Once the desired measuring unit is displayed, press the RED button to exit set up mode.
If you already know your wheel circumference go to - Programming Wheel Circumference, otherwise go to -
Determining Wheel Circumference.
Programming Wheel Circumference and Odometer
When you know your wheel circumference, you are ready to program your wheel circumference into your
computer.
If the computer is in the wheel circumference setup mode go to If you must change the Odometer value
(below).
If you are not in wheel circumference setup mode, press the MODE button until the ODO, odometer, is
displayed on the screen. Press the RED button for two seconds, until the wheel circumference value of 2124
(or your latest wheel circumference setting) is displayed and blinking.
If the wheel circumference value shown is correct, press the RED button five times; you will then be in the
odometer set up mode (fourth paragraph down).
If you must change the wheel circumference value, press the MODE button to change the blinking digit.
When the correct number is displayed press the RED button, the next digit will automatically begin blinking.
Repeat this process until all four digits display the correct wheel circumference. Once the last digit is correct,
press the RED button twice and you will be in odometer set up mode.
If you must change the odometer value, press the MODE button to change the blinking digit. When the correct
number is displayed press the RED button, the next digit will automatically begin blinking. Repeat this process
until all five digits display the desired odometer value. Once the last digit is correct, press the red button
and you will exit set up mode.
Note: Your Axiom computer has the ability to easily convert miles into kilometers and vice versa. After you
configure your initial settings, you may switch measuring units at any time. Press the MODE button until you
get to ODO. Press and hold both buttons for two seconds. Using the MODE button select the desired unit of
measure, press the RED button and you will have converted units in your computer.
Your computer can switch between two wheel settings. The top left corner of the display indicates which
wheel setting you computer is set to, either wheel setting ((1)) or ((2)).
To program a second wheel circumference size, press the MODE button until the ODO, odometer, is displayed on
the screen. Press the RED button for two seconds, until the wheel circumference value of 2124 (or your latest
wheel circumference setting) is displayed and blinking. Press the RED button again for two seconds to tog-
gle between wheel setting ((1)) and ((2)). See section above on how to program the wheel circumference.

Mounting the Computer
The sensor should be mounted to the right fork blade. Using the cable ties, mount
the sensor approximately halfway up the fork blade, but do not tighten yet.
Mount the magnet to a spoke directly opposite the sensor. Line up the magnet so
that it is centered between the top and bottom lines on the sensor. Tighten the
spoke magnet screw, taking care not to overtighten it. See Diagram 2.
The distance between the magnet and the sensor should be 2 mm or less. Once the
sensor is positioned properly and centered on the magnet, pull the cable ties
tight. Recheck the sensor for proper alignment.
Route the cable upward (either winding it around the fork blade or laying it in a
straight line on the outside of the fork blade). Wind the cable around the front
brake cable. Be sure to leave sufficient slack so that the computer cable will not
interfere with the handlebar movement. Secure the cable to your fork blade with
cable ties.
Note: Do not route the sensor cable along lighting wires/cables. This may cause
the computer to not function properly.
Secure the mount to your handlebars, using a rubber shim if necessary. See
Diagram 3.
