Default liquid speedo

My Gaffrig speedo is leaking down. The thing was down a hair last year but has dropped even more over the winter. What is it you put in these things and how do you do it?

Glycerin I believe. You can buy that from your local drug store. I sent mine back to Livorsi to have it refilled and resealed with new o-rings.

Pull it and send it back to Livorsi. Ed Mannion is who you want to talk to. They will be very happy to fix it for a very nominal charge, and you will have it back in a couple days.

try putting a GPS one in its place.... youll be a lot happier and youll actually know how fast you are going instead of being plus or minus 20 mph
