Hobby Lobby you can get some very small high powered magnets real cheap, just use some ShoeGoo to attach to a spoke.

If you ride with groups, ask around. I have 2 spares in my toolbox right now and almost gave one to a riding partner, but he found the one he lost before we met up.

If your magnet is for a cadence count, just place a small rare earth magnet on the inside of the pedal spindle where it threads into the crackarm. This assumes some ferrous content on the pedal spindle. Works great, never falls off, and being so powerful, the tolerance issue is greatly deminished.

Just buy a pair of Lightweight wheels. They're only $3700 and the magnet is woven into a spoke.
