I recently decided to upgrade the headlight on my Brompton Electric bike to the Cyo Premium E. I followed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osCbgMQwlY0 but found the video lacking in detail, so this guide goes into more depth on the parts and procedure needed.

The main difficulty with this upgrade is that the Cyo headlight does not come with the Molex connector used on the stock Brompton headlight, so you'll need to either install the connector on the new light yourself, or remove both sides of the original connector and solder the wires together. I went with the former approach, as I found it a bit "cleaner", and avoids modifying the battery side of the wiring.

Requirements

• Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 Receptacle Housing, 1x2 x 1
• Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 Crimp Terminal, Female x 2
• Open barrel cr

Modding the Kinesis Advantage2

I recently became the owner of a Kinesis Advantage360, and thought it would be fun to replace the awful Cherry MX Browns in my old Advantage2 keyboard with some decent switches. I had read online that you could purchase replacement empty PCBs from Kinesis, but when I contacted them I was told that they stopped selling them years ago :-(

Well then, guess I'll have to do it myself!

Tools required

• Phillips-head screwdriver
• Soldering iron (I used the Pinecil, but any decent iron will do)

Windows 7 install ISO with slipstreamed updates

Preparation

Create three directories. For the sake of this tutorial, they will be:

• c:\image - holds the contents of the ISO file
• c:\mount - mount point for the install.wim file
• c:\updates - holds the update files
