Can you get the battery magnet for a centerlock rear wheel?

[argee1977]

I've got a set of centerlock wheels, but wondering how i go about getting the magnet to fit as the current one on the e-reign is part of the 6 bolt locking system, do giant do a centerlock alternative, or can it be fudged?

I picked up a neodymium magnet and just stuck it on the disc. Hasn't fallen off yet!

Yeah, i have one of those, also seen the rotors that shimano do now, but 70 quid for a rotor is a bit steep!

Just buy one from GIANT?
Failing that it’s quite a common part. I recall the Levo has used it for a long time..

Here you go...
good seller too, I use them a lot.

The cleanest way to to buy a Shimano CL rotor with the built in magnet. That's what I currently use.

The cheapest way as @lumpy suggested is to slap a Nd magnet on your 6-bolt disc (assuming it's steel) and use this Shimano adapter:

Be careful using your SL wrench. The adapter lock ring is thin, and I needed to sand off the chamfer on my Park wrench to prevent it from slipping.

I also recommend a dab of epoxy around the magnet to make sure it doesn't slip.

Surely, the easiest, cleanest and cheapest way is to just fit the genuine £4.99 item I listed above. Two bolts. Done.

Stu - advise reading the original post more carefully: "I've got a set of centerlock wheels . . ."

 

[Evolution Stu]

Ah damn...
He’s doing it the opposite way to me! I went from centrelock to Hope Fortus 6 bolt.

Apologies guys. I’m an idiot! ?
