I just received my BBS02 kit from em3ev.com last night, and haven't spent much time with it but I need to quickly sort the handlebar issues, as it appears I need to order some new ones, and perhaps brake levers.
I have a standard drop roadbike handlebar today (wide), 25.4mm clamp and 23.8mm grip I believe, although the calipers measured 24.2mm near the end this morning.
The brake levers that come with the BBS02 kit measure an opening of only 22.5mm, and are metal so there is not much they can open. So, I suppose that they were designed for a 22.2mm grip area?
However, it appears that the C965 computer mounts, with converter piece, fit perfectly on my handlebars. So, that was a bit odd.
What size are the throttles, at say www.empoweredcycles.com or em3ev designed for?
Bascially, what are the workable diameters for:
- C965
- Bafang default brake levers
- Bafang thumb throttles
- Bafang twist throttles
I've seen some sweet setups here with this kit (Kepler's for instance), and am very impressed. Some opinions or details on handlebars, brake levers, and throttle preferences would be greatly appreciated. I've searched around (very new here) and don't see specifics in these areas. I'm just getting started and excited to get stuff mounted!
Thanks,
Garrick
