  • Anyone have experience with dynamo lights off road? I want to try on my SSMTB but all accounts seem to be the same that on twisty single-track/climbing they aren't bright enough.
    Do you just supplement with a helmet light?
    Thinking of the b+m iq-x, have one on my road bike and I like it, don't want to shell out for revo/k-lite.

  • I've used a supernova triple pro and a supernova hub off road for a couple of years. It still works the same as the day I got it, and it has been through some miserable mud and water, so it is very reliable.
    The problem though is the flickering beam below about 4 mph, which on a muddy single track climb was a pretty big issue for me. I have added a decent helmet light now (Exposure joystick), and switch that on whenever I know I am about to need it.
    In practice the two work very well, as I don't run through the battery in the helmet light ever, the dynamo light produces enough light (it is amazingly bright and wide angle) for well over 75% of the time.
    Sadly it all cost loads of money.

  • I used a Hope to supplement the dyno when moving too slow to power it.
