Dynamo Lights

I am, just PM'd

Does anyone local to me in SE London have a rear dynamo light that can/would like to sell please?

is it a bad idea to mount a front light on the side of the fork? Is the crown or even the bar a better place for visibility's sake?

handlebar is also an option, but if mounted upside down you need specific models.

I've been running mid-fork mounts for ages to make space for a dog basket. Haven't died.

Hello I have something that's really just beer money, Busch & Muller. £3? Location SE4 near Lewisham Way

I won't be offended if your response is 'That's too basic'!

dm'd gratefully!

Some people find mounting a light lower down to give a better contrast to potholes and other obstacles in the road. If by visibility you mean other road users seeing you, then you are best having a light on your helmet. Some evidence has shown that moving lights are much more effective than bright lights to get people to notice you.

I've had mine under my rack/basket for 8+ years and not died.

does anyone know what size spade connectors a secula plus takes?

Hi all, I am taking delivery of a Specialized Turbo Creo for commuting duties and want to put a dynamo light set up on this. the problem I have is that the hubs are boost spacing with a 12mm axle and 24h, are there any dynamo hubs that fit this criteria? I have found boost with a 15mm axle or non boost with a 12mm axle.
I have thought about getting the non boost then just using a 5mm spacer each side to take up the slack- good idea or not?
Also not sure I could have a higher 32h spoke count on the front with the 24h on the back

B+M are always the tiny ones… what are they? Think the ‘male’ part is 3.5mm or something like that

How much money do you want to spend?
The hubs do exist:

You can always use a higher spoke count on the front wheel compared to your rear wheel. It may look a bit odd, but that is about it.

Another option would be to get a 15 mm dynamo hub for boost and use a 15 to 12mm thru axle adapter.

I guess a 28h front with a 24h rear wont look too out of place and I totally didnt think about the adaptor axle thing- thank you

SON are bloody expensive- not sure I could spend too much over £100 on the hub- its looking like the whole set up is going to be around £250 with an SP hub

Why would you not run lights off the battery?

This. @harv4130 your bike has a huge battery, don't see the need for Dyno hub.

Is this easy to rig up? I've got dynamo on my other bikes and the drag won't be an ussue!

No ebike mechanic or anything, but it should be as easy as installing a splitter somewhere and plugging lights in.
Maybe there even is a splitter already.

I don't know about your bike but on Shimano Steps it's really easy, the motor has 2 ports specifically for that purpose on the NDS.

Do Supernova not make the e3 triple any more? Is there an equivalent with the same amount of light power? I was going to get a couple of sets for some of my other bikes but not if they're only making commuter options.

thanks all- I have purchased the Specialized cable splitter and some e-bike lights so no need to worry about dynamos etc. really appreciate the input.

My dynamo setup is: Shimano UR705 dynamo, B&M IQ-X and Secuzed lights. Front one has standlight working every time I stop, but the back one immediately turns off then. Is it intended? Wiring problem?

The UK distributor is Amba distribution. You could give them a call. The lady who runs it, I think her name is Ruth, is lovely and very knowledgeable about the range
