Also, has anyone used the Mity vs. the Enduro? I have the Mity on my cross bike, but I was thinking I might want the beefier cord of the Enduro for the street. Anyone damage their cord before?
i also have the Mity 8. I bought it 3 days ago (Saturday). It says in the manual that the magnet must be within 5mm of the little black receiver thingy. On my bike ('05 Giant AC), the closer the magnet and reciever were to the hub, the less clearance there was between the two, so yes, I'd say that the magnet should be installed close to the hub for stronger magnet impulses (thats how the computer determines speed etc.).
Hope it helped
