Does anyone know if the sensor for the Avocet LCD Cyclometer can
be mounted on the *left* front fork instead of the right front
fork?  (Avocet says to use the right front fork in their directions
for installation, but doesn't say if using the left fork is impossible.)

I ask this because I currently own a Huret "rubber-band" odometer,
and would like to use them both of them at once (Huret on right front fork,
and Avocet on the left front fork).

I *do* know that the Avocet can work regardless of which direction
the tire spins, useful for seeing how far you coast backwards
on short trips, :-), so even though the tire rotation is
opposite on the left side, it should work.  What I don't
know is if one side of the sensor has to be closer to the
round magnetic hub attachment.

[chuckles, :-) ]
By the way, I didn't plan this too well, and already installed
it, *opposite* to the way I want, ie the Huret is now on left front
fork. Result: the Huret is now measuring mileage backwards on the
big 9999 mile odometer, and the short trip odometer stays at 0.
