It appears that either this or making my own cable are my options. Although, the person who wants it really does not want a "janky" looking cable. Im trying to figure this out as a favor to the local bike shop to pacify a problematic customer of theirs.

The C end is correct, the B end physically fits, but I can't get anything to happen. The port on the Ebike is Micro A for some insane reason.

Heat shrink is the way I would go, but man, Im not sure how well that's going to work with the end coming off the short cable being a 90° connector.

That was my suggestion too, single cable would be preferred.

 

I wish this was a joke. Bosch used USB Micro-A on some of their e-bike motors to connect to a phone, which is USB C. The only one I've been able to find is the one Bosch made that's like 3 inches long and basically useless.

Add fuel until it stops going, add engines until it starts exploding, then add struts until it stops exploding. Repeat to orbit.

Unfortunately the only place I was able to find them was Amazon.

I found a bulkhead fitting that would fit through the barrel bung on mine. There is a string trick to thread it into place; but I just kinda shook the barrel a bit and it fell into place.

I bet that some where there's an electric mill that gets most of it's power from a local wind farm sometimes.

Discovered a couple days ago that the rear brake on my nice road bike was dragging badly. Like, give the wheel a spin and it would stop in half a turn bad. No clue how I never noticed that in the not quite a year I've had the thing.

The insane part is that for a similar effort, my nice bike with a dragging brake still resulted in something like a 2 or 3 mph higher average speed than the still pretty nice gravel bike. I haven't had a chance to ride it since fixing the brake so I'm curious how it does now.

Although, that also would explain some downhill coasting speed weirdness I noticed on group rides.

Half-assed Google search suggests he's worth somewhere between 20 and 70 million.

Astronomer as a company is worth around a billion.

Both the ones for adjustment, and the operator.
