cycle computer

Real trivial query but needing help.
Bought myself carbon forks, Mavic Kyserim SL wheels and a Cateye cordless cycle computer last weekend and I cannot get the three things to get happy with each other.
So what has been to date one of the easiest things to add to my bike I'm now feeling a bit stupid and asking for help.
The spokes are flat except at the very ends and the cateye sensor is curved whilst my forks are flat. It feels like one of those childrens puzzles where you have to put different shapes in different holes.....and at aged 27 I'm failing dismally.

You need a Krysrium Magnet, basically it fits on the aero spokes. You should be able to get that from GBs I would think. Getting the sensor onto the fork should not be a problem, you may need longer cable ties, again GBs should be able to sort you out.

i have mavic wheels, carbon fork and cableless speedo... all you need is a flat spoke magnet, its just got a flat slot rather than a round one.. .simple.
shouldnt be a problem attaching the sensor to the fork.. just use zip ties. (and a thin piece of rubber if you have it to help stop the sensor sliding down the fork.. )

i just fitted a cateye cordless to my forks which are fairly aero i suppose and i found it a bit of a hassle, found the only place it would sit comfortably was on the front edge, with the actual sensor swivelled inwards.
