February 12, 20188 yr I decided I'd better carry a spare kill switch magnet cap in case the worst happens at an inopportune time. $25 for a new one, or fire up the CAD, borrow a mate's 3D printer and bingo. If anyone cares to print more it is available on Thingiverse: Magnetic Stop / Kill switch top Leonelli Apico Jitsie I tweaked the design a bit so a bootlace fits through the hole, avoiding the tiddly bit of string. Also included a bead to tighten the lanyard on your wrist. Common 10 x 5mm disc magnet (approx $1) slips in and just melt the lip to hold it. I found melting the surfaces of the lanyard and squashing them together made a solid & neat join.
February 12, 20188 yr @biffsgasgas made up some spare magnets for us to use, they are called "Nancy's"
February 12, 20188 yr Kids modelling clay (a couple of £pounds) wrapped over magnet and left to go solid, no need for CAD or 3D printers Edited February 12, 20188 yr by onefootup
February 14, 20188 yr I have made a silicone mold of the magnets. As @zippy mentioned i mold them up with some carbon fiber and attach a bra strap to them. If you lose or forget yours then you ride with Nancy all day. I need to make a female version with some tighty whitey elastic and we will call it Dirk or Yanni or something. Team WGASA is an equal opportunity organization. --Biff
