So, I was finally converging on reasonable specs for my new winter front wheel. Then 'das neu SON 28' happened. Back to square one: SONdelux or SON28neu. AHH will have to wait a little longer for its new wheel swap.
Dynohub fans, a new version of the all time favorite SON28 was released. Smaller, lighter, less drag and yet what seems to be same power output distribution. Still rather pricey though. Some information on Schmidt's web site (see [1] among others, and for reference on the SONdelux [2]), Peter White's (see [3]) and Longleaf bicycles (see [4]). If you can, get yourself a copy of the last BQ for some interesting insights on this new version. Now for the question. I live in the mountains so I am always concerned about proper lighting at relatively low speeds (say 10-15 kph), yet was still leaning towards the SONdelux based on some reasons that logic can't explain. I owned the "klassik" so far (on another bike). Does anybody have first-hand experience on a SONdelux (with front and taillight, LEDs) setup, at relatively low speeds? You certainly need less light output, but does it seem enough to you? How's your taillight?
