@@EdStravagent I tried, but the sugru would only smear the brake levers with bad results. Instead, I preferred to proceed with the legendary cable ties, always indispensable help. Thanks again for the video and best wishes!
you can cut those sides off with scissors, you shouldn't need to mess around like this, the sensor should fit in tight, only apply a small amount of epoxy resin mix around the sensor, only tape over the rubber button when applying, then use epoxy putty to mould a better finish and sand down to smooth it off, this method can work with any lever that has the gap type this shimano lever has.
Yikes! Don't destroy your brake levers just to get the switch. You can just pop off the pin to remove the levet, slide the sensor out, remove the cap the desolder. Just solder it back on when you are going to use it already.
@Greenish Man If i remember correctly the sensors in this video are "opener sensor's" so they need to be pushed in normally and when you brake they need to lose contact with the lever.
@Greenish Man nope, thats wrong advice pal, the button should be pushed in, i have this and can confirm the button must be pushed in, you need to watch properly before given advice or at least have done this, the sensor works when the circuit is connected when the magnet is next to the sensor, it stops the circuit when the magnet is pulled away from sensor.
Loved this video! You just saved me 3 weeks of my time waiting for the ebike break sensors to arrive from China, thank you!
The e bike sensors are tough to get right
The idea is certainly excellent. Personally I would have used sugru as a glue. You gave me a great idea.
Did you do it?

Thank you very much, good and useful video, you helped many people 👍🏻🙂

I think this helps me a lot thanks men
Very clear tips..nice one this is the kind of instructional video that i looking for.👍
Very nice...simple and useful..thanks a lot
Great Job!!! 🙂
is the sensor compatible with brushless motor run ebike?

you don't even need that, the bafang ones have two screws at the bottom side, remove them and pull out the sensor part
@@what-about-mike83 mine weren't bafang like the ones the owner if the video had so I had to
You are the best👍
finished product when taking the masking tape off
1st video on youtube without background music
My bike thinks its braking and wont give power
same here did you manage to fix this
