Cycle computer for Fulcrum Racing Zero wheels

[Wigsie]

So my colleague has finally taken delivery of her new Pinarello but it has the Fulcrum Zero Wheels with the flat red spokes (technical term) so her cycle computer (cateye) magnet wont fit.

Is there a different brand of computer that has a more versatile magnet to attach to the spokes?

Magnets is magnets Wigsie.

She should buy the computer that does what she wants it to, and then buy a magnet for bladed spokes. I use the Mavic "universal" magnet on the aero spokes on my Aksiums with a Sigma BC-1606 computer.

Sigma magnets fit bladed spokes but are quite chunky.

Offer to swap your wheels for hers to avoid any further unnecessary expenditure. Tell her that "You're just that kind of selfless guy".

Either use epoxy resin to glue a magnet in place or get a Garmin - no magnets required

I think Polar have a magnet that has a flat and half round form within the body (bit like the owner of the Pinarello )

Or like Chris says, Garmin.

yer garmin 705 with cadence and HRM, might as well get a powertap hub whilst she's in to spending all this cash

Thanks fo the tips... think she is watching the pennies now, as I have just 'modified' a magnet with a round groove to fit the bladed spoke!

The things we do in our office to waste time!

I just got my Racing Zeros (they are currently sat under my desk waiting for me to hot-foot it home) - they came with special magnets/holders. I won't use them but if they are of any use to you PM me
