I did for a long time on my Day One and had convinced myself it was stronger because there wasn’t any rear power drain. Probably complete bollocks, but eventually chucked a cheap B&M secula on because I hadn’t bought any bike stuff in a while.
Don’t have to fit it to the guards as well - could stick it on the stays or seatpost

Could get an axa bottle dynamo.
Edit- sorry misunderstood what the issue was!

Many thorn customers fit dynamo with front only; then just a AA battery rear... no idea why....

@M_V
Anyone running just a front light from their dynamo? Is it a daft setup?
I was about to buy a jtek hub to build a front wheel for my do it all bike but then realised that the idea behind cutting back to one fixed bike is that I can quickly go from guards and 32 slicks to no guards and 38 knobblies to hit up rougher stuff.
Chucking a dynamo and cabling to the back of the bike in the mix is only going to complicate that transition so I can't decide on what to do.
