Here's a picture with both (and the YT ThirstMaster 5000 that fits quite snuggly in the L frame)
Stuff I have in my tool wrap : 2x CO² cartridge (as I run tubeless), a spare sram battery as I don't always put it to charge and don't want to have to come back home on a fixie, an energy bar, a...
can't imagine running wires from the front wheel to the engine there ... that would take a lot of work and wiring to get it through the internal routing in the downtube back to the device, how would that be more practical then having a reed switch ? 😅
EDIT : actually could have two device with...
Not yet, but guess it could indeed be a good addition, altho we'd still may not be getting the exact same pulse from our spoke magnet there ...
@megabobra did pique my interest with his idea of actually keeping the rim magnet and using that, this way with a hall sensor we could actually truly...
I'm using the OneUp pump+tool attached aside from my fidlock bottle, and a peaty's trail tool wrap to stash the rest... works like a charm to keep all I need on trails at hand ;)
AFAIK square pulse would "work" with any version, at least for the first 1000km ... what we don't know (and won't until someone does that much with it on latest firmware) is if all the stuff from the patent would be implemented, and what version they would implement which of those "features"...
This is also just (part of, getting there later) the material part, it takes time to make them especially if you want to make them well and are not an electronics expert (which is the very reason why people are asking for some for sale/made by others who have the skills to make them to start...
Ideally we'd want a precise measurement of what is seen by the hall sensor at various speed or figure out a formula to output such a pulse and according variations in a truthful manner. Right now I'm using the detected pulse time to try and replicate that (or slow it according to the selected...
@Koekie posted in another thread a while ago a link to a Bosch patent that's pretty interesting. Based on this I started working a while ago on introducing a H-bridge to the MegaBobra cricuit to simulate the behavior of the electromag passing by the sensor (polarity reversing at the middle of...
This doesn't look like a sensible option to me : this Wh/km is going to vary greatly based on rider's weight. They sure could have boundaries but a 60Kgs (~132lbs) kit'd rider will have this waaaaaaay lower then, say nrml_mtber and his ~330lbs and Bosch would likely run into huge problems if it...
I don't think he's planning on doing any more of these but plans and software are available in this thread. I've made one myself and would consider my soldering skills as pretty basic (haven't soldered anything since college basically), hardest part being likely creating your coil and keeping it...
Fitting is really easy, most "complicated" part being removing the Bosch Connect module (GPS tracker) ... only made difficult by the cable being pretty hard to remove from the tracker that scared the shit out of me the first time as I was scared to tear that tiny cable ...
Sweet spot for the...
Hi, fitted one on my Strive on, works quite fine, and spot for the magnet is pretty easy to find/fix (as in, doesn't require taking out the whole motor to find/fit) ... Haven't had a chance to take it out to really harsh riding or weather conditions since fitting it but there's a way to fit the...
"enable all the ports" might not be the best idea tbh ... enabling the lights ports (at least on the EU regulated ones) get the engine to keep a battery reserve for the lights in case you have to pedal back home in the night ... meaning you lose ~5-10% of your battery capacity to that...
while riding it seems to require some extra cable length to be available, which is why I did put it on the outside for my first mounts so I can evaluate that extra length while on the trails so it wouldn't end up possibly too close to the tyre (altho ended up stressing that it could possibly get...
The name is actually "Bosch ConnectModule" (better for googling, sry for the misleading name before)
Comes standard on the LTD, unsure about other models tho
LPP is already activated OOB, so didn't have to do anythingg there ...
Had to remove the smart connect (GPS/anti-theft) module tho just to make sure it wouldn't report my GPS speeds to the engine.
Really not feeling like enlarging the brake hose hole tbh, bit nervous about punching holes in such...
