Dynamo Lights

It's all good @Skülly - the mud is self-correcting

Anyone have a tip for search terms to find generic version of the di2 external cable sheaths? I've been using these on my bike, but the diameter of the supernova cable for the rear light is slightly too large and is causing the sticker to pull away.

I would try ‘electrical’ and ‘tape’.

😛

I like that this is a bit more rigid and has the channel.

Googling so far hasn’t turned up anything.

Just kidding, but leccy tape works really well. I’ve had the same bit of tape routing wires down the inside of my chainstay for 4 years of shit winters and it hasn’t even gone tatty.

Clearly done a better job than me. I tried with some I had and it came off after 1 ride even though I’d cleaned frame with isopropyl before.

Slice them down the middle with a sharp blade. They'll still work and as a bonus they'll be rewirable.

Electrical tape works ok if you add some perpendicular bits at either end, and preferably secure the wire to something else (like a gear cable boss) so it can't be pulled.

I was pretty successful using a 3m clear chain stay protector.

Oh smart idea I'll give it a try!

I’ve a K-lite bikepacking light and the handlebar bracket has seen better days. Any recommendations for replacement mounts? I’d like to get a bit of height off the bar to clear any bar bag. Thanks in advance.

I feel like a bike isn’t fit for purpose without Dynamo lights since I fitted them to my commuter so I’ve gone for a Supernova / Shimano combo from bike-discount.de for my XC bike. Happy with how it turned out.

I know exactly what you mean. I'm on a slow and expensive mission to fit them to more bikes

Dynamo ALL the things!

The dynamo I bought as a fully built 32 spoke 26” wheel with Mavic rim for about €80. I thought that was fucking great.

Is anyone selling a usb charging device that'll run alongside a SON hub and lights?

I wanted to sell my cycle to charge v2, but now I can't find my Igaro D1 anymore.
Its a nice thing, not as good as Igaro and only makes real sense if you can route the cable through your forks.

I have one. But it was intermittent to work... need to find a multimeter to test it... been needing to do this for a while ...

I have an igaro I can sell. Interested?

Neat but not horizontal!

I might be if mk1mark isnt

Lol, no one is listening.
It's odd why there isn't many horizontal mounts. Might have to fabricate one from some old copper tube as some one did earlier in the thread.

I use a Busch & Muller usb-Werk along with the son coaxial plugs.

Silence!

The revolution is coming.

It's the IGARO D1 Model 4

Used for approx 1800km.

Will dig out pics soon. Let me know if you're interested @mk1mark or not. @MCamb next in line.
