hello
sorry for slow reply (don't visit here often now) ok :)

#1. clean area with alcohol & lint free rag

#2. for cadence magnet on crank arm, a small blob of clear silicone sealant (bathroom tiling & a quariums) just slightly larger than the magnet & wipe away any excess or if your pedal axels are steel the magnet should stay in place

#3. bladed spokes, a small blob of s uperglue gel, you might need to mark the location for the magnet with highlighter (or it can get messy!) i use the mrs's silver pen normally used for xmas & birthday cards

#4. round spokes, i mostly use a small blob of clear silicone sealant & wipe away any excess with a lint free rag, if the magnet is wobbly after the silicone has set (approx 40 mins) - a tiny amount of s uperglue gel will help

tip: wear gloves to prevent silicone allergy & apply the small blob of silicone with a old chop stick (for example) - less messy


Carbonice magnet on Sapim Superspokes

hope that's of help
best
