Hi All. Decided to upgrade my e160 wheels and hub to Hope with the Pro 4 hub. Stupidly didn't even consider the wheel magnet on the back wheel.

Hope use 6 bolt config rather than centrelock so need to source a new magnet. Have seen a few 6 bolt rotor magnets from specialised/bosch etc but the positioning is slightly different.

Just wondered if anyone else has made the change to 6 bolt rotors with their e160 and fitted a new magnet and which one they went for so I can avoid some trial and error? Trying to avoid just gluing one on if can be helped.

Thanks

I got one from Commencal that works perfectly well.

Same question:
What bike model did you fit the Comencal magnet on? What rotor do you use?
I ride a 2020 e160, and it looks like there are 2-3 mm of clearance between the Center Lock sensor and the rotor. I’m concerned the protruding magnet won’t have enough clearance.
Thanks

I've just recieved the Commencal one (bit of a postal mix up so it's taken an age to receive) so I was using a bosch one for last few weeks. Zero issues with that from a usage perspective, didn't think to look at clearance but no rubbing noises from anywhere. Shimano one I now have from Commencal does look a bit of a flatter profile though so will try that out. Bikes a 2021 e160 8000. I'll try to take a photo with the Shimano one fitted later.
 
Plenty of space with the shimano magnet fitted. Spec is 2021 e160 8000 with Hope Fortus 30 wheels and Shimano RT86 IceTech 6 bolt rotors.
