magnet ? Are you talking about the notched (ceramic?) piece mounted on the 
wheel or the actual unit on the end of the cable ? (sorry for the lack of 
the official terminology).

There has been a few, but I thought it was the tabs on the speedo drive 
that were breaking off - not the hub shattering.

Can anyone else that has lost the speedo, comment on which piece they had 
problems with ?

FWIW I found that it does take a little playing to get both pieces lined 
up. I can also see where the two might not be mated properly, but still 
allow the wheel to be installed. I would assume that this is where the 
problem begins.
