Huret mileometer/speedometer connection?
- Thread starter sooper8
- Start date
In my youth i think i had one of these. It fitted at the axle and a two pronged attachment which fitted loosely between the spokes. The attachment spun round and drove a gear which turned a cable which went into the speedo unit and gave the speed.
No doubt, other posters will be able to assist further.

It was a sort of enclosed worm gear, both of us used these on training bikes in the 1960's. No perceptible drag, had one on our tandem in the 60's, but the 40 mph calibration was not enough for slight downhill.
This was a way of showing Mrs.K how to keep up the speed on inclines, which for TT's is more important than trying to catch up downhill, if you do the arithmetic.

The Huret Multito is not at all like those described. The huret Multito is belt driven and has no cables. It uses a rubber "belt" that is actually a large o-ring seal. The belt connects a multito specific drive ring that is snap attached to the hub or can alternatively be fitted by means of supplied aluminum bands that get wrapped around the spokes, to a gear on the multito unit. The gear has two different diameters and was available in either metric or imperial units.
