The fixed ring has an outer groove and an inner groove with upper and lower end faces at both ends. The speed display belt comprises a speed display part, a joint, a connecting part and a fixed part. The spiral spring installed on the connecting part is placed in the inner groove of the fixed ring with one end at the lower end face of the inner groove and the other end cooperating with the joint part and the upper end face of the inner groove of the fixed ring after the speed display belt is installed in the outer groove.
