I was talking to Jim today with regards what is the correct way to fit the sensor (not the magnetic plate) and he checked his made up bikes and one was with the sensor box of tricks facing the magnet disk and one was the other way around. Now we think that maybe it would work either way although I couldn`t get mine to work unless I faced the plastic box of tricks towards the magnet plate but! on my bike the gap is very large when I face the box of tricks the other way so it might have been the gap that was causing it not to work. You are governed by the bottom bracket spindle and where the square drive of it ends, if the sq drive went right up to the BB securing cap then you could get in nice and close and maybe that would work. Trying to get the magnet disk to go past the sq drive section of the spindle is difficult and of course if the disk is on the round section of the spindle it could easily spin around maybe.
Now I`m thinking, if the sensor was turned around on my bike and I managed to close the gap could I get it to work? and if so would that now change the way the pedal assist works (instead of adding more help on a fast chain wheel like mine does which is opposite to my bought built bike would it maybe change it to assist on a slow chain wheel
Worth a try me thinks.
