Re: [RBW] Re: Recommendations for front and rear lights to use with dyno hub
Checked the Spanniga Plateo rear light on my morning commute that starts in the dark. The light definitely turns on automatically on the Senso mode as soon as you move the bike and then stays lighted for around 30 seconds or so once you've stopped. I didn't time it, so it's just a guess. I'll time it tomorrow. The Edelux on Senso mode keeps turning on even in bright morning daylight, so I'm not sure when it won't. So far it seems to me that on the Senso mode, as soon as I roll the bike the light turns on. Am I missing something?

Hi Rene. In regards to the Edelux sensor mode, do you have the light mounted under a rack and bag? I recall mine doing something similar on my distance bike, when I have it set up with a large front bag.

Re: [RBW] Re: Recommendations for front and rear lights to use with dyno hub
Nope. I have it on the front of the Nitto Mini rack and the small TurnkSack is behind it. I just posted some photos on a new thread that you can look at. http://tinyurl.com/25wez6o As far as I can tell, there is no interference with the light. BTW, where is the sensor located?

[RBW] Re: Recommendations for front and rear lights to use with dyno hub
Update - I no longer recommend the dyno tail light with the Supernova E3. It is very finicky and loses the standlight feature easily. So the Nitto rack again has the PB Superflash mounted. Upside, the Sam Hillborne looks nicer without the extra wire snaking along the bike. Really makes me think the Cyo is probably the best deal out there now. If the E3 hadn't been such a large investment would swap it out. Eric Platt St. Paul, MN On Oct 19, 7:41 pm, EricP ericpl...@aol.com wrote: My Sam Hillborne has a Supernova E3.

Re: [RBW] Re: Recommendations for front and rear lights to use with dyno hub
I just installed on my Atlantis a SON 28 Dyad 36 wheel Rich built for me with SON Edelux and rode it for the first time today. It wasn't fully dark so aside from enjoying how good it looks, and the Senso function, I'll have to wait until it gets ligher later in the mornings and/or darker earlier in the evenings to fully assess it. I paired it to a Spanninga Plateo Rack Mount Battery Tail Light that I bough from Velo Orange that also has the Senso function so even being battery operated, when the bike is moving (not when it's stopped) and it's starting to get dark, the tail light also lights up automatically. I have yet to fully test it to understand for how long it stays lit (if at all) once the bike stops, but I could assert today that when off, it will turn on when you roll the bike. It has a huge reflector and seems to be pretty bright, but it doesn't have a blinker setting, which I've read is better as blinkers tend to draw the eyes and where the eyes go the car goes, especially if the driver is impaired by alcohol. I don't know if that is true, and for extra visibility I also carry a PB super bright rear light clipped to my Sackville Medium Saddlebag. Sometimes I set it up to blink, sometimes not... Anyway, this being my first ever dynamo setting, I'm feeling pretty excited and will be happy to share my experiences. The front/rear Senso feature is awesome as it means I don't have to remember to turn the lights on or off, just go riding... and know that if it starts getting darker they'll turn on automatically.

I love my Shimano Dyno Hub . I use the light several days a week on my work commute. I just pedaled 8 miles in the dark lit by this device.

I agree. I have the Radbot (as well as several SuperFlashes), and I would find it hard to justify the trouble of running wiring to a dynamo-powered light.

True.

[RBW] Re: Recommendations for front and rear lights to use with dyno hub
My Sam Hillborne has a Supernova E3. Very bright, although less focused that the IQ Cyo (which is on a non-Riv bike). The E3 from my experience does need the specific wired tail light to work best. For bang for the buck, the Cyo is my favorite. Although it does get smacked around easily by things such as cables. (Crown mounted, no more discussion as it is a non-Rivendell bike). Two of my bikes have wired tail lights. They are convenient. But I still do not feel confident. So a blinky is usually carried as well.

[RBW] Re: Recommendations for front and rear lights to use with dyno hub
The Seculite Plus rear light is around ~$25. Why not hook it up if you've invested in the hub and will buy a (more expensive) front light? It is such a joy to not have to do anything when locking your bike or heading out at night. Supplement it with a battery-powered light if you want, but having both lights wired, mounted, and ready to go at any time is great.

[RBW] Re: Recommendations for front and rear lights to use with dyno hub
I have the Edelux on two bikes, and think it's worth every penny. I also have the IQ Cyo on another bike, and it's functionally quite similar, but isn't as elegant. The BM Seculite is my favorite currently available fender mounted tail-light - and it has a built in red reflector to comply with many state laws. Here's a pic: http://www.flickr.com/photos/39151...@n07/4222392955/in/set-72157622960003171/ I also supplement with flashers, front and rear, and have a helmet mounted headlight. I'm pretty sure I'm more visible at night, than I am during the day.
