▲ 12 ▼ Does anyone know where to find a USB Micro-A to USB C cord? (beehaw.org) submitted 1 year ago by SteevyT@beehaw.org to c/askbeehaw@beehaw.org 28 comments fedilink hide all child comments I wish this was a joke. Bosch used USB Micro-A on some of their e-bike motors to connect to a phone, which is USB C. The only one I've been able to find is the one Bosch made that's like 3 inches long and basically useless.

Although, the person who wants it really does not want a "janky" looking cable. Im trying to figure this out as a favor to the local bike shop to pacify a problematic customer of theirs. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jarfil@beehaw.org 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) does not want a "janky" looking cable I'm wondering... could you use a USB-C female-to-female adapter, hook the Bosch cable into it, and hide the whole contraption somewhere, so that it would look like the bike came with a USB-C port? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] SteevyT@beehaw.org [S] 2 points 1 year ago Not really, could maybe camouflage it in with the brake/shifter cables, but not truly hide it anywhere. Also, when I say the Bosch cable is short, it's like 3 or 4 inches long, at that length I dont think I could get the joint anywhere good to hide. permalink fedilink source parent
