So I'm electrickerying my lad's Trek touring commuter beast. He built the new LX dyno up into an old rim himself. He started the truing, got pretty close. I finished it off. Dead proud.
Fitted:
IQ XS (says 2.4W on it). Lightly used 2nd hand.
Mini Toplight (single LED, can't be a huge wattage needed)
LX dynohub rated at 2.4W
Span wheel while fitting lighting loom etc. Seemed fine, a bit flickery at lower revs, as expected (discussed upthread, i.e. rear light).
Finished much fettling (had to move a canti hanger, tidying cables etc).
Now Doesn't work. Not an electric sausage.
Checked hub on another lighting rig, immediately powered up (Luxos U & Toplight Brake).
Can anyone help me guess what's gone wrong? Seems like the IQ XS had died. Anyone!?
