My plan on my Yuba is to go tubeless with the wheels, but currently it's still running regular tubes in the 26x3.0 tires. The way the geared hub motor is wired, there is no way to remove the cable from the hub, which means you can't easily change flats or anything else, like truing the wheel or whatever. It occurred to me that the drip loop of the motor power supply would be a good place to install some connectors to allow the front wheel to be completely removed from the bike. Besides power, there's also Hall sensor leads coming out of the motor. What sort of connector would be the best to attach in-line along the fork blade that would allow me to split that cable to allow for complete wheel removal and would also be weatherproof? I saw the "Weatherpack" connectors in spinningmagnets' weatherproofing thread, but that would only seem to work for the power lead. I'd still have all of those "phone-wire-thin" Hall sensor leads to deal with as well. Is there a way to do this with something like weather protected Anderson power pole type connectors or something similar?
