Maybe just get a battery light?

I supliment a dynamo with a head mounted diablo at night or if proper off road a big front battery light and head light.

Do SJS still do this? Called up the other week and was told it’s 5% off 😂

You will receive a 33% trade discount on all Jtek Engineering, Sun Rims, Schmidt dynamo, and some SJSC and all Thorn Cycles products (except complete bikes which attract only a 5% discount).

All other parts will attract a basic 5% discount.

Brompton parts attract no discount, sorry!

Ah gotcha! Was rohloff bits so that’s why :)

Do you not have the E3 Triple 2 though? My plan was to supplement with a head torch/battery lights but it's for Badlands. Times I was on shit road/offroad at night in the TAW I felt the E3 Pro 2 was a bit weak, especially at slow speeds.

Don't want to throw money at it, but I figure a decent battery light will be spendy too.

I use a exposure revo now. I've an e3 triple in a box, you could borrow it for badlands.

badlands dynamo will be fine, it's easy surface and rideable.

Thanks for digging this out. Exactly what I'm after. I still have my Talbot light mount but it was for my mudguards.

Edit: that instagram is dead. time to keep digging...

This is for a Brompton but could work. But instead of using it to reach over the caliper, use it to hang under my fork. Only five dollars. Worth a shot.

I've bodged a few things using those, I don't think it'll have enough reach

@amey
You ever found a solution to dynamo light at the fork crown with the TRP brakes?

I did for @Cycliste's winter bike. Just put the mount in a vice and squashed it a bit so the light sits a bit higher up. It's tight, but it clears.

Got my Supernova back yesterday and want to do a better job of wiring it up than last time.

(last time I used clipped brake ferrules wrapped in electrical tape as connectors... it worked).

Should I get myself some spade or bullet connectors? Will I be increasing resistance into the circuit with those? #notsureIcouldevenwireaplug

Will I be increasing resistance into the circuit with those?

With spades or bullets? No, they'll be fine

Nice one - so just 4x sets of m/f for the below setup? (running to the rear as well)

Yep, should be absolutely fine. The standard connectors on the lights are spades. TvH has the neatest I've seen:

Get yourself a tool that crimps properly too, it's a right faff without

anyone had an issue with water ingress on a Supernova E3 triple? I have noticed a nice little pool behind the lens- seems to be working OK for now. I have sent a message to Supernova but wanted a heads up to their customer service.

New supernova light on used wheel. Went out today and all was OK for 5 mins. After that the light stopped working. What is strange is that of flickers at low speed but then stops working completely when I go above 20k-ish, just the stand light.

Looking for a suggestion on how to mount a dyno light to a suspension fork.

It's not drilled.

Photo of fork please?

Like this.

Does it have to be on the fork? Id just mount it to the bars

He's running an ortileb bar bag that obscures the useful area.

I'm actually thinking a 3d printed mount that cable ties onto the fork crown might be easy enough to knock up at work.
