Anyone removed the Trek Rail Battery Lock?

Do all M3 bolts have the same thread pitch?

No. But the odds are on your side that what you find will be. Just don't force anything.

As @BAMBAMODA always tells us. Be gentle. Be sympathetic. But sometimes if you want something, you just have to pay more.

 

[Dave_B]

I don’t have any M3 bolts so will have to order some. I’ll get a wrists of thread pitch’s. It looks very fine on the OEM bolts.

You haven't posted to me either.

Will hopefully get this working with the 750wh battery.

 

[Dave_B]

hopefully this dimension is the same between the 625 and 750wh frames...

 

[Dave_B]

I fitted the bracket today to my 750wh Rail.

Took a while to get it lined up, had to drill one more hole into the bracket to align it to the 750 mounting holes.

There is a lot of stuff to remove. A bit of a faff getting the rail plate off, but not too difficult.

Weights and measures below.

I also used some P rubber to fill the top and bottom gap.

The bad news…. My intermittent electrical issue has returned but I’ll post separately about that.

Nice one
Glad it worked out for you in the end
especially with you being our UK distributor

PS. You have a key grommet just like mine LOL

 

[Magictorch71]

[Dave_B]

Feel free to contact @Arron M and organise one.

I have had a few electrical problems with my bike so been unable to ride it with the new battery bracket.

So far so good
No movement and the bike is definitely quieter on rough trails and off jumps
All in all happy

 

[RustyMojo]

I haven’t fitted mine yet! Need to get on with it later

I’m in the US and would like to do this. ‘22 Rail 7 625mW

There’s an order being shipped out soon heading to the US. Might be worth asking if there’s any extra

There is a spare for the US batch as buzzinhornets hasn't paid for his. I'll add you into the group email and you'll be able to message arron m to arrange being included.

Hi, have you got any destined for the UK - or do you have another batch planned in the future?

I saw this guy had removed the entire battery lock and saved 360g weight from the rail by removing the mechanism.

Anyone here done it? I don’t like this key mechanism, seems a bit flaky and although the RIB removal is good if you need to remove the battery, I’m interested in removing it completely.

Another option instead of angle Aluminium is Carbon. You can buy the carbon angle off the shelf (easy to cut than Ali and easy enough to trim with dremmel or similar)at reasonable price, use floating anchor nuts (can be glued or drilled to fix) instead of tapping and even lighter weight. Just a thought

 

[Dave Carlyon]

Anyone able to post 625wh bracket to New Zealand? Willing to pay top dollar and postage

 

[Magictorch71]

I would be interested as well please

 

[Dave_B]

@Arron M can probably make some and ship them to you.

 

[Dave Carlyon]

@Arron M are you able to ship a 625wh bracket to NZ or to a mates address in OZ?
