FAQs

Can I use this magnet with a center-lock rotor?

No, this specific magnet is designed for 6-hole disc rotors only.

Does the magnet position matter?

Yes, it must be mounted to align with the speed sensor mounted on the bike's chainstay to function correctly.

Is this compatible with older BDU2XX drive units?

No, this magnet is specifically engineered for the BDU3XX and BDU4XX series drive units.

What should I do if the magnet becomes loose?

Remove the magnet, clean the mounting surface, and ensure it is tightened to the recommended torque specification to prevent shifting.

Do I need to replace the magnet if I get new brake rotors?

If your new rotors are also 6-hole and the magnet can be safely transferred, you may not need a new one; however, ensure the magnet remains flat and secure against the new rotor surface.

Troubleshooting

Speedometer shows zero or fluctuates while riding

Check that the magnet is perfectly aligned with the speed sensor and ensure the gap is consistent and within manufacturer specifications.

Error 503 displays on your console

This indicates a speed sensor signal issue. Clean the magnet of any metal dust, confirm the sensor is not loose, and check for broken wires.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures accurate speed sensor calibration
  • High-quality, durable Bosch construction
  • Seamless installation on 6-hole rotors
  • Optimized specifically for BDU3XX and BDU4XX motors

Cons

  • Not compatible with center-lock rotors
  • Requires precise positioning for optimal sensor response
  • Limited to specific Bosch drive unit series

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, secure the magnet firmly to your 6-hole disc rotor using the appropriate torque specifications provided by your rotor manufacturer. Proper alignment is critical; the magnet must pass within a few millimeters of the speed sensor on your chainstay to trigger it effectively. Check the gap regularly, as vibrations can cause the sensor to shift over time. Maintenance involves periodic inspection of the magnet for cracks or debris and confirming that the sensor cable is not pinched or frayed during the wheel installation process.
