2LO Plug & Play Harness Discussion

Gotcha, thanks for that.
I’ll prob wait a bit until I hack into the harness.

Do you know if it’s possible to put on some manual hubs?

 

Yup:

That is on the top of my dream list.

 

If you were thinking of me I can 100% confirm this is not up on my radar. Stoked to see this was taken all the way to a finished plug and play product! I know you put a lot of work into it and looks like @lapoltba has too.

 

Honestly if you have the ambition to go that route, i'll step aside. That would be sweet, but I just don't see it as a cost effective option. It would certainly be a very slick implementation, but I think the cost outweighs the gains. I'm happy to be doing the PnP harness. It is an extremely worthwhile modification.

I just ask everyone to bear with me while the final details get worked out. I was hoping to get the sample harness shipped out to my vendor by Friday, but I am still waiting on wire (the 20AWG I had was too big for the connectors). I probably won't be able to do that until I get back, but the vendor is 100% on board.

 

Seriously, no rush!

 

It’s bike season now. We’re in no hurry

 

Hahahaha!

We're also getting back to wheeling season around here.

I did miss a good ride day today by trusting the weather app. Oh well.

 

I’m giving up on weather apps. I’m 2 for 3 getting rained on so far this year with 0-20% chance of rain according to the weatherman. Goretex is getting put to use

 

weather.gov is all I use.

The winter weather probability maps are fantastic.

WPC Probabilistic Winter Precipitation Guidance

 

Weather Underground is usually solid. I do like the Taco. That is something I have not said in 12 yrs.

 

Lol wunderground is what I’ve been using. It’s usually good except this week apparently

 

It was until TWC bought them out. Then it all went to poo. I’ve been using Dark Sky since then.

 

Interesting! How long ago was that?

 

I don't have the time, or even a 3rd gen lol. I agree the harness / relay route will work out much cheaper and get the job done just the same. It looks like the harness turned out very well, hope there will be some decent demand to recoup for the time you've put in

 

They all get their data from noaa.
WU was ok but I refused to use them on principal....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_Underground

The Weather Underground Organization, commonly known as the Weather Underground, was a radical left-wing domestic terror group active in the late 1960s and 1970s, founded on the Ann Arbor campus of the University of Michigan. Originally called Weatherman, the group became known colloquially as the Weathermen. Wikipedia

Founder: Bill Ayers
Founded: 1969
Ceased operations: 1977

 

Yup, everyone's data comes from the same place. Why not go to the source. The maps on weather.gov are nice and the high resolution national radar is sweet.

 

I guess the other sites make an easier to read packaging.

I never understood why wu chose that name considering the history.

 

I'll be interested in one of these when you come out with them. Looks pretty slick and I love PnP stuff as I'm not the best at fiddling with wiring (and don't really like cutting into factory wiring either way).

I'm not sure whether I'll want to put the button in the center or on the left. Are you making them all long enough to go to the further location and then people can just bundle the wire if they decide to go to the closer one? If not, might be what I end up getting just in case.

 

Here you go:

 

I missed that part about the length. Make sense!
