My grips are so hot, that on half power, they happily burn my hands. Great! But unfortunately, I need the variable resistance.
So for this little problem, before putting the control box together, it got coated in Epoxy resin, then put together, then cable tied to the bike. IF it fails at any point outside of the warranty, I'll bomb-proof a potentiometer & use that. I could probably get finer control that way anyway, but I can't be bothered fixing something that works. Glad to hear you sorted it jenni! |

The control box is pretty much rubbish... Oh aye, jenni, Thor's spot on about the hot glue gun, not exactly manufacturer recommended but it works brilliantly. Self amalgamating tape is better than electrical tape as it's, well, better Not quite so easy to work with but it seals better and doesn't go off with age, or leave horrible residue.
Mine jus tstopped working last night... Mind you, the conditions were pretty horrific, I bet water got in somewhere it shouldn't and blew the fuse. Naturally, that'd only happen when 50 miles from home in a rainstorm.
