Matthew, Thank you for your post and your successful update. This inspired me to try.
I have been successful for two different forks - one a modern Soma road bike fork and the other a mid-90's Trek Multitrack fork. Used a bright yellow insulated 22 ga. stranded wire to fish with. Was able to use a combo of a single wire strand from a discarded brake cable to 'hook' the wire out of the second hole or a very fine set of tweezers to grab it. Yes, lots of patience and pushing and pulling to see where that darn wire was. I used (new) B&M double strand wire for the connections. Removed about 1" of insulation from the B&M and removed about 1.5" of insulation from the yellow fish wire. Twisted the stranded wires together to form a good decent bond. *Gently *pushed and pulled the assembly through. Lots of patience. *Note: Like you I physically removed both forks from the bikes - yes lots of disassembly and time! Mounted each fork in a vise for stability and a powerful flashlight. Was it worth it? I think so.* Best regards, Jeff Claremont, CA On Sunday, November 20, 2022 at 10:13:40 PM UTC-8 Matthew Williams wrote: > Hi everyone, > > Most bikes I see with the SON dynamo have the wire wound around the right > front fork blade.
