A somewhat common cause of K bike odometer failure is that some of the teeth may break off of one or several the gears that drive the odometer as the plastic ages and weakens.

KPH vs. MPH

Kilometer and mile odometer gear sets have different numbers of teeth on some gears:

Gear Color KPH MPH
Driver Clear 12
Top Orange 44-16
#2 Green 40-34 40-28
#3 White 23-22 28-22
Bottom White 33-11
