This is a NEW Rare Earth Magnet. It will give you more reliable readings at a greater working distance than the stock magnet. This must be epoxied to the spoke by an epoxy like JB Weld. These are the strongest spoke magnets I have. They will work at 1/2" on my bike. These are about 3/16 square N50 magnets and will lift a 500 gram weight. These will be shipped in a First Class mail envelope. If you haven't received it in 7-14 days email me. The Post Office has been getting slower so please be patient. I WILL NOT SEND TO MAIL FORWARDING ADDRESSES. I have had problems with them losing magnets. If You do not live in the US and are using a mail forwarding service there may be problems.
