To get the cadence working (which was more important seeing as how speed is measured by the GPS anyway) I had to put the flat rubber spacers that came with the gps under the cadence magnet. The spacer lifts the magnet just enough to make everything work, but not too much that the magnet hits the sensor.

Clearance tolerance is very tight, I am probably only 1 or 2 mm max from anything else.

I had to fiddle around with adjustments for at least an hour.
I mounted mine on a Carbon Cervelo and also did it upside down. It just seemed to fit better (closer) in the that position. It took some time to adjust but works fine.
