This makes me feel dumb - but I have just bought an R540 wheelset for my wife's tri bike & I cannot figure out how to fit the cycle computer pick-up magnet to the spoke(s). On a higher spoked wheel (we have three different wheelsets using the same comp) it just clips across two spokes near to the point they cross over. On the 540, it is a single spoke - any ideas???

Go get a Cateye magnet for bladed spokes. It will go right on your wheel.

Yup- thanks for that. Just like I thought it was a dumb question. LBS had a whole box of different magnets.
Thanks
