[QUOTE=cyclistjohn;5426412]Hello Chop!, I was reading about your tour in VV December 2005 yesterday :-)

I removed the clear reflector from my Strida front wheel, & used the spoke screw hole to mount a magnet for my wireless bike computer. There is another screw hole in the adjacent spoke, so I wonder if you could maybe use those, or is it a necessarily very short distance between light & magnet that's the problem?


Thanks for the suggestion, nice thought, but as you rightly point out I have the far superior spoked wheels on both Stridas. Actually, that is not the problem, the magnets attach to the Strida's spokes with no problem, the problem is that I haven't yet figuered a way to attach the spindle bracket to a single sided fork or rear as they don't have axle nuts protruding.
Very chaotic this week so sorry, still haven't spoken to Strida NL

Have you got a pic' of the setup on your back wheel on the Gobike?

PM me your mobile & I'll MMS it to you (I've lost my camera.....I think.....DUH!)
