Hi folks, my name is Danny and I am a fully qualified NOOB ;-)
I am e-assist upgrading my recumbent trike with a Bafang BBS01 unit.
The standard wiring anticipates a traditional DF bike layout and the length of the standard wiring for the brake lever cables is woefully short for a recumbent with USS. While I can see lots of "speed sensor" extender cables out there for sale, I can't see any Brake Sensor cable extenders. Do they not do such a thing? It seems such a shame to spoil a waterproof wiring system by cut-extend-shut if an extension cable with the correct waterproof/resistant M-F connectors was available.
My second question relates to Lighting. I have a number of Buck Converters that are allegedly rated at 3 - 40V input and providing a range of Voltages as output (up to a max of 2A current). I am considering using this as an intermediary between my 36V/20AH Battery (42V when fully charged?) and LED lighting. Is this a bad move, should I be buying standalone CREE lights with their own battery packs instead? My riding will not include a significant amount of night time riding, it is more to comply with the law in the case a ride extends into the hours of darkness.
Many thanks in advance.
