Magnet for Fat spokes?

popette

Hi
The magnet that comes with my Garmin 705 doesn't fit on my Fulcrum's fat spokes. I'd like to have a magnet set up so that my indoor miles count towards my yearly totals. Do you know of any magnets available to fit fat spokes please? (I guess a magnet is a magnet and you don't have to use the one that comes with the device)
Cheers

I've found that these Mavic magnets work well on a variety of spokes - http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=33419. The Cateye ones are pretty adapable too.

Stellite

+1 for the mavic magnet, fits bladed spokes too

I find I'm just a magnet for fat full stop, or it could just be those biscuits.

And this is the Cateye magnet I mentioned if you want/need an option - http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Cateye_Computer_Wheel_Magnet/5300001235/

(Didn't have time to post the link earlier as was rushing out)

mostly harmless

Alternatively the zero cost option is just to araldite the magent from an old fridge magent on.

If you really want to perk up your computer, buy a tiny neodymium magnet of eBay and glue that on. Never miss a revolution again!

I used magnetic tape for a while. Recommended to me by a weight-weenie, as it only added about 3g (to my 40kg bike).
