Cateye or Mavic have a Magnet that will work. Try your LBS.

If you don't mind moving your sensor, then just stick the magnet at the round end of the spoke
(either extreme -- close to hub or rim).

Well, there's no magic to these magnets. On one bike, I have a small round magnet (from an old
plastic thing that used to hang on the front of the refrigerator). This is attached with Goop (a
thick glue, sort of like airplane glue) and thin strapping tape. It actually works better than the
original one, although it might be a couple of grams heavier.
