Computer magnet for disc wheel...?
Can you buy a magnet specially for use with a disc wheel?
Or, more specifically does anyone know of a cycle computer magnet with self adhesive backing?
I have a set of whizzy Roval Fusee Star wheels and use a Suunto T6 bike pod that is integrated into the front q/r. The "star" on the spokes means I can't use a traditional magnet and I'd like to avoid having to buy and fit a fork mounted sensor if at all possible.

I have heard of simply supergluing a magnet to the wheel!

Epoxy resin would be better.
Search ebay for various magnets.

I would be very interseted how you get on with these. I am looking at an upgrade and they seem to be an interesting option...
How do you find them at the moment?0 -
Sigma Sport sell "rare earth" magnets that are apparently very small and could be glued to the wheel - beware de-laminating the carbon fibre - unlikely, but certainly a possible outcome!
I think some of the CF wheels actually have a hole to mount a magnet (which no doubt costs a small fortune). [;)]0 -
Vandalise a fridge magnet and stick it to the wheel with bath sealant - then at least you can get it off again!0

Glue it inside the valve hole, heard of this done before and working fine.

Fitted them at the weekend. Haven't had a proper tryout yet. Will respond when I have.0 -
I have a rare earth magnet stuck to a carbon crank arm with double sided sticky tape. The stuff they use for sticking car badges and stuff on with. Never had any problems with delamination or falling off.0
