    Return to the bent!

    The lcd3 I just fitted had a separate wired 3 button switch, it only has a short wire to fit on handlebars next to display, I had to extend it to fit between the display on the bent boom and the handlebars.

I soldered the wires with small heat shrink on each...

    A trailer for ebike or non ebike towing.

    Welded, not, brazed, a bit of 25 x 5 flat bar with a bit of 12 x 3 flat br for the little cup. I have an ancient sip stick welder, I must have had it for 40 years. It's just a big transformer, nothing to go wrong now the broken switch has been bypassed , just plug it in.

    A trailer for ebike or non ebike towing.

    Re the tow hitch dropping down under load, I adapted mine with a brace, posted it before but can't find it. There's a bit of webbing in the cup that fits under frame to stop scratching.

    controller replacement advice wanted.

    My life history would be far more exciting I can assure you, even the censored version without the pictures! The controller is ancient, has a Dutch label on it. Kit may well be around 2010. DD motor works on the throttle, pedal assist doesn't work. Can a throttle be fitted to a KT...

    the small magnets are glued to the lever, there is an adjustment screw underneath, can't use that now. The sensor is glued to the body, there's a 1mm gap between them.

    Brake sensors on Magura MT4 levers

    I fitted sensors and magnets to my magura levers, they had sticky pads on but I used super glue at well, they haven't come off yet. If it's a rounded surface use a little bicarb of soda at a filler with the superglue.
