In the search box, enter # 5426K2

This $29 kit is enough material to do 8 wheels. You'll have to cut the banding to length, but It's the same stuff HRE and others sell precut for $75+.

HRE is supposed to now have a braket that cups the sensor. The strap is supposed to attach to it and not let the sensor slip out.....like all of my wheels have done more than once.

If you also epoxied the sensors to the wheels (which should be the primary form of attachment..the band is best used as a "backup")...simply put a drop of epoxy on the sensors as you tighten the band around it. It won't ever slide off.

I have over 20,000 miles on the expoxied/banded sensors within my Iforged wheels...no problems whatsoever.
