Re: [RBW] Re: Dim lighting on SON hub/Edelux II headlight

[Peter Adler]

Edeluxes (of all generations) are LED lights. I don't know of any light 
manufacturer who uses the same model name for both LED and non-LED models. 
I'd be hard-pressed these days to name any name-brand bike light 
manufacturer who makes anything except LED lights.

As with any electrical circuit, component failure is always possible. The 
first thing to check is always the cables, because they're the most likely 
points of failure; but they're not the only ones.

Patrick,
Kids survive because they are resilient and fools rarely suffer the same

To add to what Ian said, you may have also inadvertently sent the reply to

Re: [RBW] Re: Rides near your house

[Patrick Moore]

The Petroglyph park area is also an old volcanic area, so this particular
section of NW ABQ contains a great deal of black-ish stone rubble from
ancient volcanos; along this latitude the volcanic debris continues for
miles; just east of Gallup there are big boulder deposits along I-40. Go N
or S along the same longitude and the vegetation will be similar but the
ground largely sandy; not like a beach, but finer, silt-like sand that will
turn into clay, gummy when wet, hard-packed when dry until heat and
mechanical action break it down again.

Bosque aside, it's a harsh landscape, but heartbreakingly beautiful in its
open, vast vistas and very bright light (sunlight on the beach in Santa
Monica seems dim in comparison, I kid not). Of course NM has many other
types of landscape.

It has been decades since I've seen Athens. An uncle used to teach at UGA,
and we'd visit there on home leave.

Re: [RBW] Re: Dim lighting on SON hub/Edelux II headlight

[George Schick]

I assume SON, like everyone else nowadays, is using LED lighting.  These 
require circuitry other than just a pair of wires running to a battery or a 
dynamo to provide the correct voltage to the diodes such as semiconductors 
to amplify and/or limit the voltage levels.  If there is a failure in the 
semiconductors in that light, you will get the kind of flickering or 
intermittent illumination described.  I have a few lights in my 
refrigerator that flicker like that and my electrical engineer son ensures 
me that it's a problem with a circuit board somewhere in the fridge.

This dang light! The one they have says 'bare wire' and you already have 
the coaxial thing they sell so you should be good to go with just swapping 
the lamps and the shop will plug the wires in. Let's hope Analog says "Yep, 
what Joe said!"

Re: [RBW] Re: Dim lighting on SON hub/Edelux II headlight

[Joe Bernard]

The Analog site shows a pink one in stock. Will they swap em for you, then 
let Schmidt deal with the light you sent back?

[RBW] Re: WTB: Bosco or Tosco with quill stem, crankset (double or triple)

[Pancake]

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions (especially Community Bikes, I 
can’t wait to check them out!).
I’ve got the stem, shifters (attached to the stem), and I’m donating my own 
crankset ... so I can replace it with an upgrade (IRD 46/30t double from 
Boulderbicycle.bike like the IRD Defiant but in 94mm BCD).
*Still looking for **Tosco bars - 60cm wide, 25.4mm at stem (or something 
similar, like 55cm Tosco).*

Re: [RBW] Re: Dim lighting on SON hub/Edelux II headlight

[Leah Peterson]

Update: it’s the light. 


The mechanic who installed the dyno system on my Clem  for me last year was 
working today, and he handled my Platy. He investigated  the whole system, 
ensured that all the wires and connections were correct and sturdy. The rear 
tail light does light up, so it seems unlikely the hub is the issue. He feels 
like the issue is originating in the headlight. Like there’s a short in it or a 
loose connection. He fiddled around with the switch and was able to get the 
headlight to come on in the stand. This is exactly what happened for 
yesterday‘s mechanic. When I picked the bike up and spun the wheel myself, the 
headlight did not light up.

I’m going to see if Schmidt will make this right. If not, I guess I’m just 
ordering another headlight. I can’t exactly go without one.

[RBW] WTB: 58cm Saluki Frame or Bike

[Karl]

Good Evening! I have always had a spot in my heart (and kept a spot in the 
stable) for a Saluki. Anyone have a frame or bike for sale or thinking 
about selling? I am stuck on a Saluki and not a AHH. Thank y'all in advance!

[RBW] Pictures of an updated Roadeo

[reynoldslugs]

Hello all,

I've had this one for a while, it is a favorite.  Light and fun "go fast" 
bike, although I am not fast.  I love the grey and and maroon color scheme 
- and I like to post shots of my bikes - so after a recent update to the 
parts, here it is:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/41563482@N06/albums/72157719068508932

The paint detail is "Team Strawberry Pancakes - Campana In, Testico 
Sicca."  

The new parts are an NOS Deore Crankset, nitto bits, Dajia Bars, XT pedals, 
White hubs laced to Open Pros, this and that.  It's a swell bike to ride.

[RBW] Re: What draws you to a single speed bike?

[Ian A]

Probably nothing you did wrong as it seems to happen without moderator 
intervention from time to time. Possibly some Google filter that jumped on 
your post for no discernable reason. I have had one or two disappear in 
similar circumstances and it hasn't been due to a moderator. It is also 
possible you inadvertantly deleted your own post - that's happened to me 
before too, if the page has loaded slowly and I've been clicking 
impatiently.

[RBW] Re: Dim lighting on SON hub/Edelux II headlight

[masmojo]

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.

[RBW] Re: Leather Handlebar Tape & Obenauf's?

[Ben Miller]

Not sure there is a wrong way. But i'd apply the leather conditioner after 
installation, personally. 

1. It seems easier to apply after wrapping than as a strip
2. Wrapping with a slightly oil/slick tape might be a little bit more 
difficult

[RBW] Leather Handlebar Tape & Obenauf's?

['John Phillips' via RBW Owners Bunch]

   Should I treat the top side of my leather bar tape with Obenauf's before 
wrapping, or after wrapping? Or am I overthinking this?

Thanks,
John

[RBW] Re: Dim lighting on SON hub/Edelux II headlight

[Ed Felker]

SON hubs can have internal problems. I have had two of them, disk-specific, 
same wheel, that have stopped working. 

When they did fail, it was immediately obvious due to a prominent buzzing 
noise. That noise stopped when the hub was disconnected. Both were on our 
tandem. In one case the light output was nil, the other was dim and 
flickering. 

Peter White handled both repairs without issue. He said the failure was 
something to do with the coil inside the hub. 

We have another SON on a second tandem, also disk brake, that has been 
trouble-free.

[RBW] Re: Downsizing a Clem

[Doug H.]

Zed's story is interesting to me. I am always on the borderline of two 
sized of frames it seems and always go with the larger size thinking a 
smaller frame would be uncomfortable. But, his journey makes sense and 
makes me want to rethink my frame sizing on the next bike.

Re: [RBW] Re: Dim lighting on SON hub/Edelux II headlight

[Roberta]

Leah,

You have the exact same (except for the color) headlight on your Clem L.  
Could you take both bikes to the shop and swap headlights--or at least put 
the Clem L headlight on the Platy, even if it is just to test?  That way 
you'll be sure to rule in or rule out the headlight.

 Leah,

 I'm happy to hear the wheel flip helped! Woohoo ! (Even if it is a 
 mystery as to why??) I hope you now get your bike back and can enjoy those 
 nighttime trails! 

 As for the sound: it mostly sounds normal too me, but there is a 
 secondary second in there that sounds like leaves rustling to me. Like 
 Rowing to Nowhere said, make sure that QR is tight in the axle, though 
 persumably the mechanics will have it in there nice and snug! :)
