UPDATE! Further to the frequent spoke breakage problem I can report that Wisper and their excellent after sales service, suggested they rebuild the wheel! So with a 1 week turnaround and at no cost to me they have fitted a new rim, spokes and nipples assembled with Spoke Freeze which I am...

Hello, long time no post, this time I have a major problem with rear wheel spokes breaking on my 705. I am now on my 8th! They started breaking after 18 months from new. Wisper were very good at sending out replacements while under warranty for me to have fitted locally by my excellent local...

Hi Wisper owners. Another electrical fault, this time on my wife's bike, which I thought may be of use to anyone with the same fault. The charger connection has been intermittent for awhile now and yesterday the only way to make it work was to pull slightly on the cable and plug and hold it like...

After much searching I found the discs for the Avid DB1 DB3 and DB5 fit the Wisper 705 calipers and are available on Ebay here. They seem good quality and price and sent first class. The Wisper pads are 29.8mm wide and Shimano etc are 30.8 and do not fit!

Wisper fault update. New control box from Wisper fitted, cut off the bullet connectors and fitted MT60 3 pole 30 amp gold plated connector available here (thanks Nealh). Big difference, more power and no stoppages, 20 mile trip with some serious Cornish hills and no problems. Incidentally the...

Thanks David, great support as always.

Nealh, thanks for that recommendation great idea if they will fit in with all the cables otherwise I would solder and heat shrink. Problem before was it was all stuffed in the small space and the control box must get quite warm so very little air circulation. With Wispers legendary support...

Thankyou David, I have done that and sent the attached photos which I believe show the fault. I took the cover off the control unit to reveal a narrowly missed potential fire! I have to say I was disappointed to say the least at the quality of the electronic connections in that tiny compartment...

As I said it is fully together, simples!

Thank you for the speedy response. I have made sure the connector has not come apart at all but it is a major job disconnecting and electrolubing it, see attached. And its under warranty. I am surprised the connector is in such a vulnerable inaccessible place!

Hi all I am new here and am well impressed by this forum. I bought 2 new Wisper 705SEs at the end of last year for my wife and myself. They were bought online many miles from our Cornwall home, major mistake as warranty repairs have to be done by supplier!! In general they are great but we have...
