  • I seem to have settled on 32h front, 36h back as I´m a chunky fucker (for now), Archetypes front and back and DH-3N80 cuz wider and taller body and cup and cone . Those Schmidt hubs sure are purty though. Feck. Thanks Skinny.

    I´m a bit confused about the E3 Pro 2. People on here sing its praises but ze Germans say it´s not as good as the latest straßenzugelassen lights or at least not worth the premium. Can anybody compare and contrast the round-beam Supernova against the IQ-X and/or the Edelux II?

    Anybody have a D1 for sale?

  • I recently had my E3 Pro 2 nicked and replaced with an IQ-X. Can't point to a massive difference in beam without having them side-by-side, though I found the E3 easier to level than the B&M.

    One thing I liked about the E3 was the actual power button that felt like a real switch, so you knew whether it was on or off (easier to troubleshoot wiring faults) whereas the B&M has to be rolling to turn it on. The B&M standlight will turn off when you turn it off, though.

    If the IQ-X got nicked, I'd probably buy another rather than go back to an E3, though can't speak for longevity as I've only had it a couple of months.
