Thanks for your thoughts, McLewis. Just to clarify, though, since my original post I have determined that the torque sensor is actually working as it should. Because of my inexperience with torque sensors, the general condition of my legs and having only ridden cadence sensor bikes, I simply...

I know what you mean about "upgrades" and all the hassles involved. I'm several versions of Mac OS behind and intend to stay that way for as long as possible, even if it does mean missing out on a few app upgrades. I often wonder how much time and money is lost in this world through individuals...

Haha... I love how this thread has got completely off-topic. I assume the moderators around here aren't too pedantic about this kind thing. ;-) Yeah, sorry, CoolEdit and then CoolEdit Pro. The original had a very cool brainwave entrainment feature that was easy to use and that I had a lot of...

Great sounds, and definitely very film-appropriate! I've never done anything close to that standard! I have just been struggling to recall the name of the first DAW I used, but early Cakewalk was the second - probably around the time you were beta testing. Never did get to Sonar as I kinda...

Ahh so you're a musician too? I know what you mean about plugin versions. The same thing happens, of course, with OS updates (particularly with Apple it seems), but that's a whole different thing. Thanks for confirming my suspicions about checking the sensor itself. What I found interesting...

Hi again, Amberwolf. I was wrong about the Comfort Cruiser. Closer inspection does reveal a cable coming out of the bottom bracket, and this must be the cadence sensor. There is only one cable coming from the same place on the Interceptor, but it has 5 pin connectors, so I would think it likely...

Thanks Amberwolf. I tried disconnecting the TS today. As predicted - no assistance at all, regardless of the settings. So the cadence sensor isn't working at all. I guess it could be "simple" hardware issue.. like a loose connector... or it might be the firmware. Hard to know. And it's hard to...

I don't really want to start cutting wires, as it could be a very difficult thing to undo. I have thought about disconnecting the cable at the torque sensor end though. Do you think that might be worth trying?

I owe you an apology. You were absolutely right. I had a friend - someone with two good legs and who rides a bike with only torque sensors - take it for a few trial rides today. The results confirmed exactly what you said. It performs much like his own bike in torque sensor mode. I guess the...

Sorry if I gave the wrong impression there. The bike is not functioning as designed. If I turn off the torque function (which should then default to cadence PAS) it changes nothing. The first 4 levels of PAS still offer exactly the same amount of assist, which is about what I would expect from...

Cheers for that. :-) Any suggestions as to where I go from here?

Yes, according to their website, this model does employ CANBUS comms on this model (and, perhaps, on others). It's not clear if they've always done this, but it would seem likely. With regard your second observation, I would point out that the bike was essentially "new" when I bought it. It...

Yes, the part number was different on the packing slips and invoices. That doesn't necessarily mean they couldn't have made a mistake, of course. It is the same physical device, after all, with just different firmware options, but I would have thought it'd have to be a pretty unlikely coincident.

Yes, I have come to realise that few, if any, e-bike maintenance people have access to the kinds of software/hardware used to test and/or program these kinds of things. I've toyed with the idea of buying a new C55B LCD Display direct from China, but they custom program these before sending and...

At this stage, I must admit that the meter on the case is the least of my concerns (the one on the display seems to work OK) but I thanks for your ideas here. If and when I manage to get this other issue sorted I might just take you up on your offer :-)
