    1. can you integrate a rear light into the forum's favourite "son or sp dynamo, b+m iq2 for light+usb" set up or is it just front & usb?

    2. @xkittyx was telling me about some removable dynamo lights but i can't remember what they were now. halp?

    1. very very yes. Most front lights & rear light combos are 3v, which is exactly what these dynamos generate. The front lights generally have 'rectifiers' in which stop you overloading them if you don't use a rear light. So using a rear light too is sort of the whole point.

    2. dunno. Anyone? Do you think you really need removable lights? B&M front lights have semi-secure 'torx' bolts holding them together and holding the light onto the bracket, I reckon most thieves don't carry these. So with something similar fixing the bracket onto the fork/wherever, it seems unlikely that you'd worry about them being removed. Too fiddly.

  • oh right, cheers skully! makes sense, i just couldn't see much info about it on the b&m page.

    i don't suuuuper need removable if i fit them securely to the bike, but it'll be both my commuter and cx bike when i'm not touring on it so i worry about mashing them up/them getting nicked if the bike's locked up outside work, especially as the iq2 looks pretty chunky. am i overthinking this?
