I have since posting the original post used one of the suggestions and used a tie wrap to attach the original mounting bracket to the handlebars for now. This will do for a short term solution but I really must find something better long term. I have since come up with another problem though.
Go to the links in my previous post. Those will work for current model Speedzones but not the Speedzone Classics. There's a
different mount for the classics.

As a result the field isn't passing the pickup the right way and therefore the pickup isn't picking up the magnet. Does anyone have any suggestions for this dilema?
Mavic sells a
universal magnet that will work equally well on bladed or round spokes.
Specialized also sells an
adhesive magnet that works with bladed spokes.

There are many different designs in cycling with components coming in all shapes and sizes. Specialized participates in covering many of the different design types but can't cover them all. They also impliment across a broad spectrum of those design types. One can't expect a universal fit between all Specialized components against every other one. They do provide appropriate fitting solutions however.
