Hopefully a simple question... will a 2.4 W dynamo hub sufficiently power a front light?
Specifically, I'm looking at pairing this cheapy Shimano hub (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/392281228871) with a B&M IQ-XS. No intention to run a rear light as I only feel comfortable using blinking rear lights (except in group rides).
Motivation is an approx £80 hub+light setup vs the £300 or so SON I'd planned. £220 would be nice not to spend. Google has led to some real rabbit holes so any help would be grand.
2.4 was good for a strong B&M light, which would also give light on very steep and slow stuff. One thing though, I find shimano hubs quite notchy. I thought my cheap 2.4W one was to blame, but an Alfine I recently installed feels just as rough.
