If we don’t find an unexpected problem, we will start testing the M210 in two weeks. We are anxious to see the bike on the track!
Meanwhile we continue working in a lot of details that are necessary to finish completely the bike. For example the instalation of all the data adquisition sensors, which require the design of small parts to locate each sensor in its position, in order to make it work properly and allowing an easy replacement.
For example, next picture shows the linear potentiometer of the rear shock. Fortunately the K-tech shock we are using has already threaded holes to clamp the sensor brackets. This makes the work much easier.
Last week we visited Totimport, one of our technical sponsors. They built for us the braking lines under our specifications. The lines are from English brand HEL, and have been designed for using quick couplings and pressure sensors. Quick couplings allow a quick and leak proof disconnection of the brake calipers from the rest of the hidraulic system.
The two orange connectors are for the front brakes, the red one is for the rear brake. Next picture shows a coupling connected and another one disconnected.
As always you will find bigger pictures in our Flickr gallery.
We will keep informing!!
