I know of a few Brompton user that they bought a strong magnet on ebay that attaches to the inside of the pedal without the need for cable ties. It works just as well and the magnet has not come off on some demanding rides.My Orange Bromptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11527237035726801401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386936010311519.post-23303360060809639862013-07-01T04:22:17.123+01:002013-07-01T04:22:17.123+01:00Thanks for the review!

I'm interested in the Garmin Edge 800, but after looking at the manual, I'm not sure if the main sensor can be placed so that both magnets can be detected, because the wheel are too small :/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386936010311519.post-51931439673911138892013-02-06T22:28:43.788+00:002013-02-06T22:28:43.788+00:00Great review!

They make you become very lazy as people become irritated if you miss a turning by a meter, but they were great. Battery only ran out once on a 14hr day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
