    Heat shrink to battery connections? Blanking connections?

    Both options work, though with amalgam tape if it touches it's self then it can be a pain . I find heat shrink to be a neater job.

    Swytch launched.......shame about the long wait.

    If you are light or don't have big inclines then the swytch is perfect for a very light weight set up and is ideal for a town errand bike, in which case the lighter smaller battery would be the way to go, it's horse's for courses. The unit and handle bar attachment could always be placed in a...

    Error code 1 on bafang hub

    Glued 3:1 heat shrink would be a better option to cover the julet end leave 5mm or so over the end and press it tight when warmed to leave a small flat end or bend it down before it cools.

    Error code 1 on bafang hub

    Double check the connector hasn't got moisture in it, any green staining caused by the copper pins may cause the error if a short is caused to the 5v pin.

    Heat shrink to battery connections? Blanking connections?

    Heat shrink is usually 2:1 or 3:1 shrink ratio so just buy a size larger or get a multi kit with differing sizes, plenty on ebay for a few £££'s. I use heat shrink on the open connectors, leave a bit longer and fold or flatten the end when heated. Adhesive heat shrink often 3:1 is ideal for...

    Looking for Help derestricting Carrera Vulcan (pics included)

    Doesn't look like there is anything in your pics, controller is potted in silicone. I expect the speed is set others have tried playing with lcd settings with little joy. If that cap in the controller says 63v under the white label you could try adding /wiring in a 3s/12v booster battery in...

    The trials and tribulations of fitting an ebay kit

    Unless you have the tools both hub and CD have issues. CD's also can have fitting issues with Bottom bracket and chain line. BB shell can have welds that need filing down.

    KT lcd-3 problems

    C11 try 0 for lcd3. C11/2 is for copying data to other lcd's. C1 is for pas setting which setting depends on the pas sensor fitted. If a KT forward version then either 00 - 02. If a v12 reverse sensor then 05 - 07. P1 setting can be played with but you need to know the motor magnets and gear...

    The trials and tribulations of fitting an ebay kit

    Spreading the rear D/O's 4mm shouldn't be an issue a bit of your 4 x 2 and a decent wedge should be enough to open the drops, allowing for a bit of spring back open the D/O's a bit wider. Once the motor is in situ you will probably find the D/O's need a bit of fettling with a file or dremmel...

    Best (and worse) bike kit you have ever bought?

    Vid cam's for bikes I think are generally still quite poor as battery life is woeful for a days filming of 5+ hrs, only the Fly12 is the real available option. Bike smart panniers at 12 odd quid each were a very good buy from Planetx, quick fit and release in 4 or 5 seconds great for a trip to...

    advice on connectors please

    I should have added that a couple of layers of heat shrink in place of the insulation sleeving will prevent shorting if not direct soldering, though heat shrink is still required.

    advice on connectors please

    The only thing to watch out for with the bullets is the insulation covers, heat eventually gets to them and they shrink and split .

    Rescue a failing Kalkhoff?

    Both should work and have balance function. Which ever charger you get you may have to change the dc end connector to match your batteries socket. Any 2 - 3a Sans type plastic charger will work or a quality meanwell hlg80/100 42a these have voltage and amp adjustment . Though give your...

    sugestions for good quality warm beanie type hats please?

    His demo is very good much better then the guy on the uk buff presentation. I have a 60% merino lightweight balaclava which I wear under my cool dudes helmet which works quite well in the cold, like Eddie a cold neck and wind chill makes for an unpleasant ride.
