I just obtained a set of Ksyrium Elites. Problem is my wheel magnet will not fit on the spokes. I know that people with these wheels have computers, What is the solution? Thanks.

You can purchase wheel magnets that only attach to one spoke. Cateye makes one that works with round or bladed spokes. It will cost you no more than $3.

I have shimano r540 wheels with bladed spokes as well. Try to screw the magnet onto one of the spokes. It wont be perpendicular to the spokes but if you do it right you should still get a reading on your computer. I have it set up this way and it works fine. You might have to tilt the sensor in a little bit more but it saves the hassle of getting a purpose magnet.

I just got the mavic magnet designed for the wheels because I could not get the others to stay put. $8.95.
