Adding an odometer, cheap.
I wanted to keep track of miles traveled. I could do it with a log, but then would have to remember every time. There are "hubometers," but they're made for semi-trailers and the tire sizes they use, ...

The magnet weighs 0.3 oz. and is ~1/2 the distance to the center of rotation than the rim a wheel weight would be placed on. For constant angular speed, the force increases linearly with the radius, so it's effectively a .15 oz. wheel weight, less than the minimum increment for good balance (if you've ever seen a wheel weight on a trailer tire). It's not an issue, and one could place an offsetting weight even if it were.
I wonder how it affects the balance on that wheel? Might want to have it checked.
