I used the hope rotor with the standard e150 magnet mate. All i had to do was bend the magnet inwards. When you first fit it with the hope rotors, because there is a sunken bit around the bolt holes, as you tighten the bolts it causes the magnet mount to bend outwards. All i did was fully tighten bolts, undo them and bend the magnet mount inwards just above bolt holes and it will fit flush to rotor.I have already asked for advice on this subject but was advised to post here just to avoid having to wait for my rotors, I’ve bought some Hope rotors but I seem to have overlooked the speed sensor magnet, I want a Hope magnet to go with the rotors, but I’m unsure what size to buy for my Whyte e150, can anyone with the same bike help with this question please, thanks guys
Hi I’ve got the Hope rotors and I bought the Hope sensor magnet there are 2 versions an R32 & an R24I have already asked for advice on this subject but was advised to post here just to avoid having to wait for my rotors, I’ve bought some Hope rotors but I seem to have overlooked the speed sensor magnet, I want a Hope magnet to go with the rotors, but I’m unsure what size to buy for my Whyte e150, can anyone with the same bike help with this question please, thanks guys
No sorry my bike is a cube actionteam but was just commenting to let you know the choices and specs of the Hope magnets looking from the none drive side of the bike I.e the rear rotor side I turned the wheel so the magnet was pointing to the 9 o’clock position I then measured from the magnet to my sensor located on the none drive side chain stay and this measurement was 32mm so bingo it was ordered previous to this my cube magnet was like a ring that used to be push fit on the axel and every now and again my motor wouldnt give me any assistance if I’d been stopped for 10 minutes or more but this is totally cured since purchasing the Hope one, Hope (pardon the pun) that this helps a little
Bit of a disaster if the glue ever gave way due to cold & wet conditions unless you carry a spare and one & some superglueI super glued a magnet onto my rotor for my KSL worked fine
They are magents so they stick to the rotor anyway the superglue just helps it stay in place. Plus it's a KSL so it's hardly anymore effort to pedal it anyway.
No apology needed mate, I appreciate your feedback, to be honest the R32 might work even though it would be a decent distance away from the speed sensor, when I can see properly again (post eyes surgery) I will have a go with the magnet I’ve bought from eBay
Hope it all works for youNo apology needed mate, I appreciate your feedback, to be honest the R32 might work even though it would be a decent distance away from the speed sensor, when I can see properly again (post eyes surgery) I will have a go with the magnet I’ve bought from eBay
Ah well I hope the surgery goes well too & ur back out there soon, here’s a couple of shots of my hope R32 magnet in line with the sensor, what you also have to watch out for is that there is enough clearance between magnet and sensor I’ve got about 3-4mmIf you meant with regards to the surgery, thanks, if you meant the magnet, thanks also, I’m going to buy an A2 stainless steel machine screw and nyloc nut to secure the magnet, that way the machine screw will become magnetic too, I thought that the rivet was made of stainless steel too but it must be made of aluminium as it’s not magnetic, oh well not to worry, I’ve got time on my hands to sort it all out
I’ve had one eye done already (right eye) but my vision is all over the place, I’m very short sighted and at the moment I’ve got one lens in my glasses, in my right eye everything is bigger than the left but my vision is still blurred despite the surgery, colours are different between both eyes too, sounds weird but in my right eye everything is brighter and whites are whiter, it’s just horrible at the moment and will only be corrected when my left eye has been operated on and I’ve got new glasses and that’ll be in the New Year I can’t work 
which is the only good thing at the moment but I’m also unable to drive or do anything that could create dust 
I feel for you there mate as our sight is the most important thing for us to have so I hope it all goes well and it’s a happy new year for you in the biggest wayThanks buddy, and thanks for the pictures too, my speed sensor is in a different place and neither of the Hope magnets is tall enough
Same to you mate and ur family you seem a top fellaCheers pal I really appreciate that and you couldn’t be more right, most people don’t really appreciate what we’ve got until it’s not working right, I hope you and yours have an awesome Christmas and New year too buddy 🫡
I’m sorry to hear your not riding either mate, nothing too serious I hope, I’m keeping everything crossed for a cancellation at the clinic that’s doing my eyes, so I can get out sooner rather than later, your right though mate, the trails will be there, all the best for you MikeKnow how you feel Sean being off the bike. At least it’s winter time so come spring hopefully you will be back out there, as I will. Recover well. The trails will still be there when you’re ready.

I expect there could be even more clearance when I fit my new Hope calliper, there’s one thing I did forget to mention, if anyone else is going to do this modification, be cautious with the magnet as neodymium magnets are brittle and shatter if subjected to excessive pressure, this is my second magnet as I over tightened the first one and it did shatter into several pieces, this one is just nipped up
