Dynamo Lights

Do mine pls

Might drill my frame and braze a washer around the hole for internal wiring...

Do mine pls

Maybe

internal wiring...

No.

drill my frame plez

Ideal, looks good.

Naturally like the bike because matching Thomson...

I have a sinwave beacon and a e3 taillight. E3 is DC so need to run a resister between front and rear lights. Can I do it without the resister? does it matter that much? If I just plug in tail light to lamp it won't blow up will it?

silly hipster awkward headlights

nah they are great. Just bit of a fiddle with DC rears.

Might flicker

will flicker

Just hope it flickers fast enough !! less than 10ms or so

isn't rear light always DC? My E3 taillight (plugged into a variety of B+M) wouldn't turn on until connectors were switched around. Then it's fine.

edit - hadn't realized DC was referring to the E3, my bad

Would it not be a capacitor/diode bridge rectifier (or some shit) you need for AC → DC? Rather than a resistor

Probably only a few more pence/solderings

Just going off what Sinwave has on their website..

E3 pure on b&m mount and trp brake, the mount hits the brake making it sit wonky.

Whats the solution?

I told you!

Bend it back, then forward if you need the light to be forward to clear cables etc!

Looks shit. Burn it.

New bike

Disc brakes

Link to the site? @frankenbike is right, doing it properly would involve a rectifier. I guess the rear light has sufficient protection circuitry to survive the AC signal.

Can you straighten the bracket a bit (at the brake caliper end). I guess it depends on how much space there is between rear of light and headtube.

I had this exact same issue with TRP brakes, I couldnt find a bracket that would sit nicely with the caliper. I ended up mounting my E3 Pro 2 down by the dropout on the mudguard mount, it works really well in fact. I used the Supernova mount and unscrewed the two halves, putting one half on the inside of the light.

whats the story with the fargo bike? is there project thread somewhere?

so even the og supernova mount wont . work?

Not with the Trp brakes due to the bracing on the arm being in the way. I’ve tried a bunch on different mounts I had including the supernova one to no avail. Either a bar mount or side of fork mount like mine would be your easiest options
