No dynamo on this.

I thought about it, and it's nice. But I'm not doing so many days of contiguous riding without the ability to encounter power. The rear lights with AAA batteries is universal and easy to carry spares. The front lights I have multiple battery packs for and can carry about 24hr of high beam lighting or low hundreds of hours of low beam lighting.

I just don't have the need for a dynamo. I'm not an ultra endurance rider or a multi-week remote area tourer.

Fair enough, I think the 2 spectrums of dynamo are Hippy and Commuter. Somewhere in between is 'is it going to add that much (weight, price) etc, so might as well'. I am the latter.

hippy is a commuter

I do like just being able to grab my bike and always have lights running. I'd often forget to charge batteries or lights and I'd always get the fear on audaxes that my lights were not going to last so I'd run them lower than necessary.
