I'll weigh in a on a few things Yes, Contacts on the right (drive) side. Notchiness? It's just an element of the way the magnets work, it will be worse when the light is on and when they bike is in the air. Once the bike is on the ground with weight on it; it will be imperceptible. Dynamo hubs will loosen up a small amount over the first months of use, but it's hardly noticeable and likely no more than regular hubs. Funny noise could be an element of having it mounted backwards (?) (just a guess) JMHO, but I am also somewhat loath to trim the stock dynamo cables, It's easy to shorten them, but more difficult to make them longer. Typically when joining dynamo wires I head down to the local hobby shop and get mini R/C connectors. this makes connecting and disconnecting a darn site easier and also cutting/soldering. Important to note: that some lights are DC and some are AC, shouldn't really be an issue especially if the Tail light is the same brand as the front light. I don't remember which brand is which, but I think typically there's a circuit in the light that does the conversion. I like the SON hubs, but I have to say I prefer the Plastic quick connect plugs over the small insulated connectors the SON uses, the SON are really fiddley! Also note that some lights won't switch on unless you turn them on while the wheel is moving; I haven't had a big problem with this, because I leave mine on all the time!
FWIW, I have a SON hub and Edelux light that I bought in a package deal of ebay, Hub seems fine, but I mounted the light up on my Evasion and the light (like yours), doesn't seem very bright. (may be why the original owner sold them) I haven't really done much towards figuring out why, but it is interesting that you've had a similar experience. Since I am currently not working, I mainly ride in the daylight, so the light is primarily to be seen and it does that suitably well. Once Covid is over though I think I'll get a Supernova from Germany!!! Not really better, but I just prefer the design and the way they mount. >> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
