Forgive me if this has already been asked but is there a way to add a Schmidt female coaxial connector to a Shutter Precision hub?
Connection at the hub is going to be two wires in the Lego brick but you can buy the Schmidt ends and wire them in up line
Sounds like an opportunity for a 3d printer
Why you need a connector connected to your connector?
Swapping wheels from one bike to another
Maybe the 700 is the son and 650 is the sp
Exactly this. Different dynamo hubs on different wheelsets.
I’ll allow it
My harness terminates about 4 inches short in a connector, xt30 or xt60, cant recall. Then the last bit has a different spade. One of them SP, one of them SON.Edit. incase that was confusing. I have 2 separate detachable segments for the last 4 inches, with their own spade.

I used this same method for a while. Worked great.
The stand light has stopped working on my iq-x. What should I do about it?
Don’t stop

But stopping is one of my favorite parts of riding!
Sit in the dark. See if I care.
Did someone here buy dyno wire in bulk? I’d really like to get my hands on a spool of that small coax that SON uses. Will settle for the regular 2-conductor stuff if one of y’all is holding.
I’m not much of an electronics person and I did search digikey for the wire but there’s like 2,841 options and I’m lost. I bought some stuff that I thought was a direct match for the B&M 2-conductor stuff but its bigger and wont fit through the vent holes in the frame and fork and I’d rather not enbiggen them any more than I already have.
Guide me, supply me, or educate me please.
I was into coax when I started but it’s a pain in the ass. You can’t think of it as a one time project. It needs maintenance. You are going to redo it. The 22 gauge is way easier to deal with.
I haven’t had any trouble with the durability of coax on my bikes but I still kinda agree that it probably isn’t worth it
I used to work with coax on a regular basis, stripping and terminating the ends is NBD. What kinda maintenance are you needing to do to your wires?
Also, found it, I was searching the wrong words. found it by searching bulk.
Wondering if there’s any reason to not run this stuff as its a little smaller diameter and has a better flex and tensile rating than the stuff @JUGE_FREDD posted.
this is the stuff Fred posted.
I end up shredding the outer conductor. Seem like I need to redo an end a couple times a year and it’s way easier with two wires. But I’m also running mostly internal so not worried how it looks
None of the Mogami lavalier microphone wire options I tried are really as ideal as Schmidt for this usecase, and they’re all much harder to terminate successfully
It’s just not that expensive in practice, and I like to support mechanics that go above and beyond selling it pre-terminated like Karl here:
same guy that built Freespoke: the spoke calculator

I gotta terminate it myself for a bunch of reasons.
Thanks for the info, I’ll get the real stuff by the foot from Perennial. Now I gotta measure how much the 4 bikes I’m going to wire up will take.
