Hi

After a lot of deliberating I got my shamals and they are all fit and lovely, however they come with a little computer magnet things (nicely done I will say, a lot tidier than ... wheel most) but will this work with all computers ? As it comes with the rear wheel is it rear wheel only ?

Thanks in advance

Chris

    Yes - it's only a magnet
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    The magnet thing fits around the spokes, I believe the spokes are the same front and rear so it should fit on the front wheel if need be, have you tried it?

    I used the magnet that came with my computer, it fitted fine.

    Good choice of wheels by the way, gold or grey? By the way I've found that the proceedure for adjusting the cones is a doddle, (rear hubs a little tight on my set), clever development on the old lock nut method.

    I thought that was the case, just a little suprised to see a wheel magnet come with the wheels, is a lot more protective of the spokes than say, the metal specialized lump. Very low progile though which was my main concern

    I was going for the gold ones, but decided that they were a little to bling and went for the grey, nice and really pleased with them so far but thing the gold would have been a little more 'bling'. Only had one ride on them so far, and seemed to go well ... but it was with a group that I am faster than anyway, being on my summer bike for the first time (ever) AND not having a computer on left me feeling a little 'well was it worth the money' rode nice but ????

    Making a real meal out of deciding what computer to buy, would like a strada double wireless but can't find one, V2c seems expensive and without the computer module a lot of computers (mavic) won't fit on my pro stealths .... how to make a mountain out of nothing

    He, he, I wonder how many people go through the same thought process, can I carry off the gold finish?
    I have a black bike and gold might have worked, I just couldn' quite bring my self to do it.
    Probably a lack of self confidence!
