i work at a shop and was setting up this customers bike
he had ordered the cateye cc-cd300dw (http://www.cateye.com/en/products/viewProduct.php?modelId=2&catId=6&subCatId=0) and was excited for his first actual trials bike. unfotunately he has carbon wheels (the kind with three fatty blades) and so there's nothing to attatch the magnet to.

has anyone else had this problems?
any suggestions of how to attatch it (zip ties dont work...) OR any suggestions for carbon wheel friendly computers with both cadence and speed?

THANKS!

Most guys will attatch the magnet with a dab of epoxy and wrap a few layers on electrical tape to secure it.

use a dab of household GOOP glue and one
wrap of electrical tape. let set 24 hrs.

it'll come off easy when you need to take it off
