We used it to. We had a shiny metal disk break and used an older model (for reflective tape). We painted a white disk behind the metal black. We were able to count the spokes that went by and so were able to move the arm percicly.

But the count was different if you went at regular speed vs counting by hand. So the number that we got at one point was higher than we wanted. But We tweeked it and things went OK (for comming in dead last)
