I may but not yet, I have this idea I'm busy with to use 2*18650's and 1 of the 'control units' in a 3D printed 'container' for want of a better word

Busy with the design, hope to print a prototype in the coming days

I'll keep y'all updated

Did you ever find those 18650 batteries? I tried to import some a while back but customs said no..

I have one old unit that I'd like to have a go at re-equipping

[NotSoBigBen]

Coincidently got 2 from my son's mate, a 'vaper', just this week. Need to just get finished with 2 other projects I'm busy with then that's the next thing 😎

I know the chances are remote but is there a hubber that could perhaps help out with something similar?

I have a Small gravel frame and fork but very little else, unless you want to go hybrid with a mtb cockpit then I will be able to whip something together

I'm looking for a 24mm FSA Pressfit BB. My next question: will a Shimano Pressfit not work on the FSA crank?

Definitely 24mm ? 

 

They are 22mm or something from what i remember? 

 

But yes if 24 , i really can't see why a shimano won't work

24 yes but I can see a problem, the spots where the bearings sit are marginally bigger, like 0.1 or something, I can foresee this will be an issue going with Shimano 😁

Mmmm , go take a bb52 ( i assume you must have one laying around ) and see if you can slide the cup over the spindle by hand both ways.

 

If yes then I'd go for a pf shimano bb , if not then you might have some Searching to do 

Thanks, I will check in the morning. We can also chat about the steady rack you need

Those 18650 batteries are very common and easy to come by. I bought 6 the other day for some lights.

Yes, Mr Panda stores stock them in various A/H options.
