inside an eTap blip

[BmanX]

Can some of you post pictures of these switches installed.

I got mine the other day, slightly lighter (2.8 grams) for a 185mm Length and they work perfectly.

Once installed in the shifter they are a pain to get back out (which is a good thing I suppose), when installed you can barely see them, which is the look I was going for, will update with a pic in the next day or so

Haha nice one so... in the back of the plug is a little pair of holes that is prolly mostly full of glue to water proof the plug but it's deep enough though to get a pick Into it and pop out the plug.. don't pull the shifter out by the wire

Really happy to see you boys got the shipments

First attempt at install: (White circle is shifter)


Going to redo it as not 100% happy with it, did not want it under the bar tape, but might move it there.

[stevec1975]

Redone these, bar tape end completely covers the switches, but you can feel them easily enough

Can anyone confirm if 2.5mm plugs fit as I'm having trouble finding 2.35mm as earlier mentioned in the thread in the U.K

Thanks

I just leave it as it is under the bars, a slight shift of my thumb only to use them when my hands are on the bar top.

I made a few home made blips. Its pretty easy and i think most momentary normally open switches would work fine. The first set i made, I drilled out the plugs that came pre-installed in the shifters. I then connected it to a momentary switch hijacked out of an old computer mouse. see below for some pics.

Next set I started using some prewired connectors. I had to trim down the plastic/rubber a bit to get them to fit properly in the shifter. They work really well and fit a bit better then the hack job i did on the etap plugs. I am now searching for a better switch option. I'd like to find something similar in size to the computer mouse switches but rubber coated or encased somehow to make them more weather resistant. The hunt continues Here's a link to the prewired connectors I am using http://www.intertexelectronics.com/Philmore-48-410-240mm-x-075mm-DC-Plug-wCord-6-24-AWG-P10010.aspx

I'm curious if you could include a link to the push switch that you use to create a blip?

"so i have waterproof buttons both to suit the climbers and the sprinters..
i've also managed to 3d print the plugs.. "

Would you mind sharing the model for the plugs?

Thanks,
Scott

I took the buttons out of an old computer mouse. Pretty common part though just search mini momentary tact switch on ebay

[dontpanic]

I could only find DC connector 2,35x0,75 instead of 2,4x0,75. Will this work or is it better to wait and order the right size?

[2old4this]

These work.

You have to shave the plastic around the connector but...

Do any of you who are making these know if it is possible to wire two together to make a single button to do a front shift or splice a third button into two of the regular ones. I have a friend running etap who only has the use of one hand and something like this would make his life so much easier. Thanks for any input you can give.
