Do you think it would be able to provide significant range of output before the brakes (cable-actuated Avid BB7 in my case) begin to apply noticeable / significant mechanical braking?
fechter said:Those sensors don't like being folded or even curved unless the radius is very large. They also need to be vented and the vent would need to be protected against water ingress. I have a bunch of similar sensors from another project. You may need a simple circuit to linearize and scale the output. My guess is it will tend to be twitchy at the low end.
It might work pretty well for regen control, as sensitivity is less critical. It might also be good for a totally stealth throttle that's integrated into the grip or other part on the handlebars.
