Just a dose of reality, some of our members don't even own a controller & have to borrow a club controller for doing w.end events!!

Have just picked up this thread re controllers as John U has borrowed my brake box (yet to be fully tested).

With regards the standard Parma, it is possible to convert them to a three value device for around £2.0(Rapid), £5(Mapin):
60 / 45 / 34 Ω or 45 / 35 / 26 Ω with three power resisters, toggle switch, soldering iron , epoxy glue, 3Amp cable(12cm) and basic DIY.


NB: As it is resistor based will work with reversed voltage polarity

Alan,
Thanks for sharing that it seems quite simple to implement.
