I know there's been a lot of complaints that the retro style speedometers don't hold up to the rigors of motored bicycles but I'm curious what part actually fails?

I have a good looking vintage one I'd like to use & I assume it's better quality than the modern repro's, but the cable is pretty short...

So I'm thinking of just using the cable & perhaps driver gear from a new one.

Bad idea?

What say you...

Well, I have been using this one and not one bit of trouble after 165 miles. Its easy to read and is very accurate. It is designed for a 26 -27" bike.
