Where to get strong magnets?

[Bike Mob]

anyone know of a good place in Cape Town?

Not too sure of the size of the magnets you are looking for but if it is strong magnets you are looking for,get an old computer hard drive from a pc shop and strip the magntes out of it. There will be 2 in each hard drive. They are so strong that you will not be able to remove them unless you slide them off or use a pai of pliers.  hope this helps

Cool idea on the hard drive...

 

I found magnetech on the web too. Called them and they have a retailer in the Canal walk Shopping center next to the MTN science lab thing...they sell rare earth magnets.

 

I want a super strong one for my cadence pickup, so I dont get limited to putting it ultra close. I may need some more room.

Hardware shops often sell rare earth magnets too, but only a limited range. They should be fine for a cadence sensor though.
