Yep I'm a moron. Needs to be in parallel like any other voltmeter. Forgot because I'd initially planned on using another meter that had amps and had to be wired in circuit.

Mostly just needed confirmation on the speed wire. Am I supposed to wire this up in line? I have it going battery pos>to controller>controller negative>positive LCD>negative LCD going back to the negative of the battery. The problem is m voltage drops to 43v from 50v when the controller is added...

Does anybody have info on which wire does what? Don't want to short anything out by connecting things up incorrectly. I really only want to use the speed function and have little use for the other features these things have.

Not in this situation. They're 15mm too short when cross and radially they're probably 5 mm or so too long.

Got back to looking at this to true it and the spikes seem way too long to work. I could probably file a little bit but I think waiting and ordering new spokes would be much stronger due to the reduced number of threads if I file.

Anybody have photos of it working yet? :)

Managed to get it laced radially. Had to put the heads on the inside of the flange as outside they were too long. Now it seems about a perfect fit. Will work on truing it tomorrow to see. Seems fairly sturdy but I'm imagining ill have to be careful about hard starts and using a lot of torque.

Radial is safe on a 26" wheel at 1000w? I seriously considered it but it didn't seem like it would be strong enough for sure.

They're about 15mm too short according to the shop. Looks like ill be calling Dan soon

Lol I bought one last night too. This looks like a nice, cheap CA alternative. Certainly not the same but it ought to work for my needs until I can financially justify a CA

Measured and confirmed with the spokes I had. For the holes, I gently filed just a little to make them fit. I'm just going to take this bad boy to the bike shop tomorrow since ill probably need new spokes anyway.

Well, I can't even get the 4th one to tighten down at all. Guess that would indicate they are too short?

Thanks! I had a feeling the Sheldon Wheelbuilding tutorial had a reason for being like that. Some other tutorial had suggested doing them like this but I was going to try it one spoke at a time like you said this evening. Hopefully it'll all look better when I do things like that. Going to leave...

I'll try that as well. If all else fails, my local shop will do this for me for $45 (+ parts potentially) so one way or another ill sort this. -- Amber, if they seem to be on the short side, would it be best to have them all facing out instead?
