To be honest I haven't got round to emailing them, I've been waiting until I decide what to do with the extra hubs I have.
The magnets are confusing me slightly as they are positioned under the thick metal beneath the lids screw thread. The nearest the traction fluid can get to the magnets could be as much as 8 - 10mm. If positioned slightly nearer the axle they would have only a few mm of aluminium to penetrate.
The part is definitely a NuVinci add-on so its not for a cycle computer unless its for the harmony kit.
Just checked Ebay photos and it is from the harmony kit. If nothing else it's given me a good idea adding magnets to collect any steel. There are plenty of places on the stator to fit a small neodymium magnet. I think some gear boxes have them but more as a way of checking for contamination.
