Bafang Brake Sensor Magnet Re-Re-Realignment

Several years and realignments later, the brake sensors on Mary’s Tour Easy became slightly mobile on the foam tape holding them to the brake lever mounts and, of course, anything affecting the sensor position relative to the magnet inevitably makes it overly sensitive to the brake lever position.

For unknown reasons, the DPC-18 displays devote zero pixels to the brake sensor status, so the only indication of a brake sensor being active is when the motor cuts out. This is not to be tolerated, particularly in traffic, so both the sensors and their magnets are now remounted on fresh tape with careful attention to proximity.

The magnet is snugged against the sensor when the lever is released:

The activation point is about a third of the way to the fully pulled position:

I would prefer having the magnet move parallel to the sensor’s long axis, but that’s just not the way these levers work.

The left-side sensor cable is now snugged to the brake cables to keep it out of harm’s way as she installs & removes the water reservoir on the handlebars under the fairing:

For symmetry, the right-side sensor cable sports a similar tiedown:

Having recently discovered brake sensors with integral LED status indicators, I plan to update that whole mess in the near future.
