Fitting Instructions for the Cook-Jones 1 piece counter
The
Cook-Jones counter will fit on most bicycles without modification. When you
receive the Cook-Jones counter unscrew the 2 brass toggles and locate the
counter housing over the threads and replace the brass toggles. Don’t over
tighten the toggles, when in place make sure the toggle bars are facing down,
this will stop the toggles from working lose. Remove the wheel from the bicycle
and slip the counter over the axle on the RIGHT side. Make sure that the drive peg sits between the
spokes. Put the wheel back on the bicycle with the counter between the fork and
the wheel. Tighten the wheel securing nut or lever.
CAUTION:
IMPORTANT - DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ROTATE THE WHEEL OR RIDE THE BICYCLE UNTIL YOU
HAVE CHECKED FOR PROPER CLEARANCE. YOU MAY DAMAGE THE COUNTER.
Wiggle
the wheel about a little. If the large counter gear rubs against the fork the
fit is not correct. If free rotation without rubbing cannot be obtained, the
counter cannot be used on your bicycle.
If
there is interference between the small gear and the spokes, then the amount
that the gear protrudes can be adjusted by using the allen key provided and
undoing the grub screw which can be found on the outer collar.
If you are unable to fit the counter to the bicycle,
it may not be possible to use this model counter on your bike, please contact
us for details of our other model which may be more appropriate.
Again
– before attempting to rotate the wheel, check for interference. If you do not
do this you will damage the counter. We will not be responsible for damage due
to improper installation.
PROBLEMS
The Cook-Jones
Counter fits the majority of bikes; however, some bikes have front wheel
geometry that makes installation difficult. If this is the case then please
contact us as our other model of counter may be a better option. When the
counter is put on the bike, and the axle nut tightened, there should be some
slight play, or movement, in the mechanism. If there is any binding at all, the
unit must not be used until the binding is eliminated.
