neodymium magnets for footbraces
does anyone know of any online sources for neodymium magnets that fit the footbraces?

They are not already neodium? What guass are they? No idea, will look into it if they are not already neodiums.

They're not neodymium. They're just junk 2000 gauss magnets. Alex now claims that neodymium magnets are "old technology" and you should be buy Gorgeouspil instead. As far as I'm concerned neo footbraces are awesome. You should be able to rip the brace open to replace the magnets in it easily enough based on what another user here said when I asked for feedback on magnets in general. 8 of these would give you the same size as what is in the brace now: http://www.magnet4less.com/product_info.php?products_id=52 And 8 of these would make it a hell of a lot more powerful if there's some extra room (I built my own braces with these, and they are awesome): http://www.magnet4less.com/product_info.php?products_id=53

Are the neodium's better than the regular rings? Is more megnetism neccessarily going to produce a better result, couldn't produce less effect could it?

The magnets that Alex has listed on his DIY page are 2x1x1/2, so I'd assume that it would be the same size he used in his official foot braces. The easiest way to find out would be to open them up and actually measure them.
