Maybe. I have the other side to heat-shrink so I'll try that.
Wish I'd not started it tbh but I've given it a go and done my best.
I had trouble crimping them tight as wires were very thin.
Good job I got a box full of fittings
Only good thing is everything still works.
For now.
Doc, would it help if I popped over at some point to help with this? Wish I'd offered earlier, before you bought all that equipment, but those pink crimp connectors just did it. I would remove all that, re-solder and replace with black shrink wrap on each wire, then shrink wrap the whole thing. I will already have the stuff needed.
That's very nice of you thanks.
I'll see how it looks when I've finished it and see how neat it looks.
And yes I spent £80 quid on gear. Problem i also had i couldn't use the wire strippers on most of it and stripping the wire with wire cutters was difficult and the wire was getting shorter.
as I kept cutting the whole wire instead of the casing.
Use fag lighter (I know you have a large stash of them) to shrink the pink tubing around the wire.Wiring stuff arrived and had a practice so good to go.

I recon that 2mm wire is a fair bit thicker than that what you have on yer trundlecycle.
I feel your pain Doc.
Enthrusted my G/S to an expert that was recommended on here .
Got no receipt, no list of work done.

Yes it is and yes I do.
Will do and thanks again. I'll finish it in the morning and see how it looks.
If you bring it up to me I'll fix it, properly, for no charge (with my good arm)!That's very nice of you thanks.

Don't bring any tools as I've got them all here.
Yes i know and knew that was coming.
Bit of a trek. Bring your stuff to Moffat and I'll buy you a wine when you've done.
Fair f***ks for having a go…..but it’s always best to practice on someone else’s bike first….
