Hope stuff is obviously brilliant, but I can't bear all the cables.
Even on the Robin Mather which produces enough power from the dynohub to power front and tail, I only power the front.
I just don't run cables back and forth, and if I had the Hope I would buy the battery pack for it and fix it between the saddle rails with a single short cable going to the light.
Of course, we haven't even mentioned the Dinotte.

I managed to limit my Flare's decline in to uselessness by putting very stiff springs in it to ensure decent connection between the battery and the contacts, but it never lasted particularly long as a fix. I would be willing to give the Tracer a go, as I do rate Exposure's build quality apart from the crap with this Flare.
Pretty tempted to get something honky for up front like a Joystick or an Axis for night riding and winter lanes.
