Opened that bit, didn't like what I seen and bottled it. Went out put it together and I've lost one of the bloody screws! Going to find a away of getting a soldering iron down to the garden and splice the old cable with the new cable and connector unless someone can point me at those...

If it were me, and it was a couple of years ago, I'd get this. https://www.halfords.com/cycling/bike-parts/bike-brakes/shimano-br-mt200%2Fbl-mt200-disc-brake-set-794302.html It's pretty much fit and forget.

Have you got any pictures of the inside of the bit above? Just for a bit of advanced warning before I open it up.

It's this bit in here, there is a gland on the frame where the cable runs in to here somewhere.

Yeah, got one. Not sure how difficult it is to open the bit of the downtube the controller is stored in and swap it out without bricking the rest of the bike.

It's more the location, the connection box is in the down tube and I worry about getting it all back together again.

It's a funny connection, hard plastic and I can't get into it with a soldering iron, I thought about that it would have been much easier! I suppose the easier thing would be to replace the plug but it's not one I've seen before.

The head light cable has broke at the light end. on a scale of 1 to new bike day, anyone know how to replace it and how difficult it is? I've got a spare cable but I assume the brains are in the down tube.

No I know, I generally only full charge the battery every few charges though.

Any one else got a Wisper Tailwind? Did the included charger have a fan? I'm sure mine did but it wasn't spinning last night so I emailed Wisper and the reply this morning said none of their chargers had fans. So am I mis-remembering? I wouldn't mind but it was hot as hell after a two hour charge.

Has anyone come across a meter with a barrel connector? I some times think it would be handy to monitor during charging. Unplug, check voltage, decide whether its charged enough or put it back on.

Cheers I'll have a look. Don't suppose I really need the width of the carradice since I'm not commuting every day any more.

Not sure exactly, they're fairly chunky but the quick clip on the pannier fits but the rack is a bit short and missing a central support for the anti sway clip on the back of the bag. QR would be preferable yeah.

Got my new Wisper Tailwind yesterday all good so far except my fancy Carradice Bike Bureau doesn't fit the fancy integrated rack. Any recommendations for a replacement?

@Wisper Bikes what height range is the Tailwind able to accommodate? I'm 188cm but can't see from your site if it'll be too small.

Oh damm. I'd be way overloading that frame before I even added the conversion kit. Thanks- good spot.

Hey Paul, did you ever do the conversion? Thinking of getting a tube rider from gumtree for this.

Aye, but maybe a bit less father brown :) Thanks though I'd missed that section.

I've been using the gTech for a couple of years now as my round town bike*, I bought it as a minimal maintenance commuter then covid stopped by commute a week before it arrived. The motor really does take the sting out the single speed however it is a bit limited. The motor is little weedy for...
