Hello everyone, long time browser, first time poster.
I’ve been looking to electrify my little folding BTwin Tilt900. After a browse in here I settled for a kit from woosh.
After a few emails with Andy and a phone call to hand over my credit card details I had the kit. Then came this morning where I did the fitting.
Problem 1: I don’t know how to use a crank puller properly. Five minutes later all the threads are stripped from my crank and I have to go to a local bike shop sheepishly. They can’t get it off either now so I put the magnet disc on the left side instead. I’ll come to that later.
problem 2: my cassette tool doesn’t fit over a 12mm axle. Sigh. Still it got the old cassette off and I used needle nose pliers to tighten it enough on the new wheel. Thanks poster on here who suggested that hack.
the rest of it went really smoothly. The battery and motor controller was mounted on a rear pannier rack which needed a couple of holes drilling into it. Some m5 bolts and it’s golden.
Now onto the pas issue. Because I moved the magnet disc to the left the wheel only kicks in when pedalling backwards. Not ideal. I tried changing the pas direction in the display settings but couldn’t get in to the personal settings page (km5s display). Then I had a brainwave: what if I move the sensor to the chainstay and have it upside down? Some modification to the unneeded metal bb mount plate and it’s affixed and when I pedal it goes vroom.
it’s been a bit of a day getting it all done but now it’s all together it’s a great little kit. Thanks to Andy the rest at Woosh.
one last question for the forum: does anyone know where to get dust caps for the julet connectors? I’m only using one of the brake levers so I have a spare connector left naked.
