Question by eddieexpiggy: A bicycle odometer (which measures distance traveled) is attached near the wheel hub and is designed for ?
27 inch wheels. What happens if you use it on a bicycle with 24-inch wheels?
Best answer:
Answer by Andy J
The distance traveled in one rotation of your 24in wheel is 75.39in and the bigger wheel is 84.82in. So, when you are given a distance, you should multiply it by .8888 and it will give you the correct distance. The distance traveled by your 24 inch wheel is 88.88% of the 27 inch wheel.

Then it would give you an output (distance) that is 27/24 longer than really travelled…. unless you recalibrate it for the correct wheel diameter.
