ok...it doesn't matter where the magnet is on the spoke. The whole spoke sweeps through the plane with the same angular velocity (though they have differing linear velocities); each spoke goes around the same number of times per minute. The number of times the spoke goes around is the same as the number of times the wheel goes around. From the wheel size you enter, the distance traveled is calculated.
