| Chip,
Not sure I qualify as "Expert/Proven" advice giver, but FWIW......
I had a set of these wheels (the 1st rev - heavy clunkers they were..)
and mounted a magnet with a dab of epoxy. Worked fine.

p.s. I used a magnet that came with a Paramount computer. Used a
bench grinder to take off the excess metal housing which left
a small magnetic "dot".....I thought this detail might be
interesting to a weight shaver like yourself ;^)

| and since the tri spokes are so much lighter, he'd only be a little
shaver...

| Thanks... Second vote I received on the epoxy thing. I had thought
of it, but it sent a minor shiver up my spine to think I would
"glue" something to those babies. Epoxy is easy though.
I have an old CatEye Micro magnet in my collection of stuff I hate
to throw out (just happen to have some epoxy too). I guess I'll
"peel" off the plastic and see what's there...
Thanks,
Chip

| 2816.4 | velcro | STOWOA::SWFULLER | | Tue Jul 26 1994 09:14 | 5 |
| There is stuff called super velcro, basicaly a heavier duty version
of the original, I have purchased it with an adhesive backing. This
seems like a simple solution.

| 2816.5 | GE silicone sealant | SOLVIT::MEREDITH | another hill? ugh | Tue Jul 26 1994 09:57 | 5 |
| As an alternative, use GE silicone sealant. I've used it to attach
magnets to motorcycle wheels and car drive shafts. It can be removed and
usually doesn't damage epoxy surfaces.

| 2816.7 | another silicone glue vote | COOKIE::KELLER | | Tue Jul 26 1994 12:09 | 4 |
| I will second the silicone sealant suggestion. I mounted an Avocet 50
pickup on a Rock Shox this way and it has stayed put through many
miles of rough Colorado trails.
