It's actually really pretty easy to bend them if you just do it little by little and check it against the casing until it is flush. Took me 5-10 minutes. Yeah the pads stick to themselves so I just added an extra layer in the middle channel part of the motor so it would be flush with the rest...

I received the 3mm pads, but haven't tested them at all as I have been very busy(in the process of moving currently). I am also generally satisfied with the cooling performance I'm getting at the moment with the pads I have in there. When I have more time I will mess around with the 3mm pads and...

It's so cool that you guys are looking into better performing thermal pads. I am curious how much of a difference they make in cooling performance compared to the cheap $1-3 pads. I like the cheap easily replaceable nature of the ones I am using now, but if there were a solution that dropped...

I used these 2mm pads (The only reason I chose these was it shipped from the US and I am inpatient :D ) https://www.ebay.com/itm/Grey-GPU-CPU-Heatsink-Thermal-Conductive-Silicone-Pad-100mm-x-100mm-x-2mm-US/254000030793?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 The 2mm seems...

Thanks for the kind words. Yeah I tried to keep it as simple as possible. I wanted to keep the sealed casing and weatherproofing of the motor intact because using the bike rain or shine is very important to me. I also realized that passive cooling would totally get the job done in addition to...

Thanks for the input! I don't think servicing the motor will be too much of an issue. The silicone pads are slightly sticky/tacky and can be taken on and off pretty easily. That stickiness and the case tightened up against them are what hold them in place. (They are also pretty cheap at $1-3...

Here in Boston we just had the hottest July on record, so I took it upon myself to do a thermal management mod for the TSDZ2. I was routinely having to dial back my assist usage to stay below 75C on my 23 mile (37km) round trip commute so I decided I would do something about the TSDZ2's awful...

I figured out that the V cutoff was set for a 48v battery @ 39.0 by default. I think this might have been what caused it. Thank you for taking the time to reply as well as the time and effort you've put into this project. I've made a small paypal contribution as a token of gratitude.

Hello everyone, I just installed the opensource firmware for the first time on my TSDZ2 36V, but for some reason it is limiting the power to around 320-380w. No matter how hard I pedal I can't raise the assist above 380w. What am I doing wrong? Is this normal? It seems significantly less...
