Hi,
What contraptions/installations you use to prevent water from reaching your entire electric gear on your bikes?
I am mostly talking about the Cycle Analyst JST connectors, but also about throttles, any handle-bar mounted switches, and of course the motor.
I am using a GrinHub on the front wheel and geared ezee on the rear.
It seems there is nothing much to do with the ezee, and probably the grease will "scare" any ingested water away. Is it correct?
About the GrinHub, and in fact any DD hub, I thought to drill one or two small holes as close to the air-gap as possible.
These will be sealed with rubber plugs, but while it's raining (and especially after the rain stops) those would be opened, so any ingested water (or more practically, steam) can evaporate it's way out.
What do you think?
Regarding the CA, it seems almost impossible to gather and route somehow the short JST cables into a sealed box. Also, there is just no space on the handlebar of a bike for doing that. The solution must be service-able one, in case any debugging/connector replacing is necessary.
And last, about throttles - I absolutely have no idea....
If your solutions are documented in pictures, then please share them.
