Replacement Magnets for wheel and pedal sensors

Some time ago I lost the wheel magnet on my MTB, I didn't worry too
much because at my present stage of fitness I'm trying to simply
maintain (and slowly increase) cadence.

Anyway, today I've managed to knock the magnet off the pedal and now i
have nothing.

The computer itself is a very old Cateye unit 77 - not that that is
particularly relevant to anything at all.

Anyway, what I need to know is does anyone know where I can simply buy
replacement magnets to put on my wheel spoke and on the pedal crank?

I got some magnets at my LBS for the spokes, not sure about the crank ones
as I don't have one of the cadence fangled devices.

Your LBS will probably have them, they're just magnets anyway, you can
buy magnets from many places if you want to make your own, but it may
be easier to get them from your LBS.

I'm using a fridge magnet and some silicon to hold it in place on my
cranks for cadence metre.

I used araldite to glue a magnet to a spinergy spoke and it works well.
Much neater.

OK, I get the message guys.....

I just thought that someone might be making a buck out of replacement
magnets in nice little plastic carriers just waiting to be cable-tied
on.

I've just pinched the wife's favorite fridge magnets and about to
perform surgery to remove the magnets.

The pot of super-glue is waiting....
