Abstract
A sensor assembly includes a shank shaped for mating with a socket in a head of a bolt about which a portion of a rear suspension of a bicycle pivots. A magnetometer (or a permanent magnet) is coupled to the shank. A permanent magnet with a north pole and a south pole (or a magnetometer) is positioned adjacent to the magnetometer (or permanent magnet) and pivotable relative thereto. A linkage couples the permanent magnet (or magnetometer) to the portion of the rear suspension that pivots about the bolt. The magnetometer senses changes in the magnetic field as the suspension pivots.
