Necessary Alarm Changes

In a prior post I was concerned with the location of the Alarm on the left handlebar. And my concerns were warranted. The alarm is equipped with a ball bearing switch that detects the slightest movement. These ball bearings created a racket over bumps. Not that it was that bad, just distracting. I decided to move the alarm to location two, which is on the front dérailleur tube. I used the Minoura bottle mount to raise the alarm above the Terracycle accessory mount. The hardest part of the job was closing the cover with the four miniature slot head screws provided to do this. The screws were so small that it became a long and tedious job holding them and getting them into the four slots. A jewelers screwdriver was used for this purpose. I also removed the anti-false alarm mode as this location is not as sensitive as on the handlebar. Now if the trike is touched the alarm sound without the two warning beeps.

The photo above and to the right shows the detail of the Minoura mount raising the alarm above the Terracycle mount.
