My wife has a Pendleton and the plastic disc holding the sensor magnets has cracked and broken possibly due to the magnets expanding in the very hot sunshine. Are these disc and magnet assemblies available anywhere?

I had a similar issue a few years ago with my Carrera Vengeance.. After re assembling it with 5 minute Epoxy I encased it in laminating film. (Several types available but the stuff I used had heat activated adhesive on 1 side and I simply "Ironed it on"). It's still going strong several years later and showing no signs of falling apart yet.

Thanks but a part of the original disc is missing. It may be possible to “infill” with epoxy though. I am just surprised I cannot find a replacement part.

I have never had one break on me and I have had several conversions over the years, more likely the chain coming off on the inside or debris strike from the road have caused the damage.
One can get replacement magnet discs quite easily though often it is cheaper to buy the sensor and disc as a set .

Not yet removed item so photo tricky. Digging on the net it looks like it’s a King Meter eight cm diameter twelve magnet item. Some of the generic ones on line don’t give a diameter so a little cautious about ordering. Obviously as it’s a Pendleton it is a Halfords bike but there website goes nowhere near this depth of spare parts.
