Gaffa tape? Whay doesn't the mounting that came with the computer work correctly? Maybe a trip to the LBS could fix it?

I had the same problem when I had my TCR since it had that bladed fork--there really wasn't a way to keep the computer sensor on there and in one place unless it was a flat one that mounted on the indisde of the fork. I ended up mounting my Polar wireless sensor on the seat stay and the magnet on the rear wheel.

Cheers for the replies..and I can spell bladed, but not check before I send..oops.
Errrrrrrrrrrrr trip to the LBS, I have no idea what you mean..oh hold on local bike shop? Duh..see I have 3 whole days off work & some sunshine & its all over for my mental processes.
It won't stay 'cos its to fat to fit on the flat side of the blade nearest the magnet, won't fit betwixt spokes & fork, won't sit on sharp edge of blade as it were, 'cos it's the wrong shape, it rocks back & forth, and far side of blade gives no contact. Surely some one must make a comp that will fit bladed forks..hardly rare are they?
thanks so far.

a small piece of rubber under the detector with a tie-wrap or two wrapped it tightly to the blade. You can move it by hand, but if you set it up and leave it alone it should stay in place. I have an Easton carbon fork and it has two tie-wraps around the detector. 1K+ miles so far and it hasn't budged.
