How do you attach the magnet sensor to the spoke. Thanks for an advice.

Its a thumbscrew, so just loosen it, put it over one of the spokes in alignment with the sensor mounted on your frame and tighten it up........

I had a little trouble with mine (I have aero spokes that are thin and long) and had to rig up some rubber around the spoke to get it to stay in place.

I put the sensor on my own bike and my GF's bike. On my bike, it went on with no problems, but on her bike it didn't. It kept slipping and moving. From what she is saying her readings are, I think that it has moved on her. For some reason, on her bike, it just doesn't want to stay put. Maybe I need to find a bit of rubber or something to keep it in place.

As far as rigging the magnet, once you get the thum screw off you will see that in the black backing there are two indentations, one for round spokes and one for flat spokes - use the round either way, holds better.  N.B.  The magnet is for more acurate speed not cadence, the sensor on the pedal is for cadence, this attaches with double sided tape and secured with a plastic tie.

 

As for coupling the devices, I can't remember the actual sequence, but go into Options and then Accessories (or words to that effect), there will be an option for the cadence sensor, then in that an option to pair the device.
