The sensor tethers to the fork via rubberised 'foot' and cable ties. A precautionary lick of Vaseline on the contacts never hurts, but both units seem genuinely well sealed against the elements. Batteries are easily accessed (simply slide 10p coin, or replacement battery into the slot and twist). The head unit is reckoned to last a year (Based on an hour's daily use), the sensor 6,250 miles.
