Replacing Wheel Spoke Sensor

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

My friend bought a Trek bike from a shop on eBay. He recieved the bike with the wheel spoke sensor missing for the Trek Incite 9i computer. Does anyone have any ideas on where to find a replacement? Will a Cateye sensor work?

The bike shop said they would send him a new one but that didn't happen.

Thanks very much.

It appears to be a standard magnet type sensor. A Cateye sensor should work, it wouldn't hurt to try. Your LBS should also be able to help out with this, especially if they are a Trek Distributor.

Once I got by for a while with an ordinary magnet taped to the spokes. It was pretty powerful though; not some common refrigerator magnet.
