[RBW] Re: dyno rear light?
Need a permanent rear dyno light That works for a luxo front with usb dealie. Dear Manny, For a rear wired light, the only really robust solution for hard use is internal wiring runs in my experience. That requires either a frame set up for it already, or modification of your existing frame. Are you willing to get a braze-on added? If so, the Compass Cycles repackaging of the B+M Seculite on a seat-tube braze-on is pretty well-protected and durable once you get the seat-tube braze-on and a down tube wire reinforcement added. The wire runs internally through the bb and up the seattube. You'll have to cut your seatpost to length. You may need to fidget with the grounding wire (run coax vs the light as delivered, which grounds to the frame), as the Luxos U requires a dedicated ground wire and ground isolation from the frame. Modify your frame to run an internal wire down the downtube anyway if you decide to run power to the back of the bike. The minimum is a second 5mm drain hole and a reinforced hole at the down-tube/head-tube area. If your frame is lugged, then you can just drill a hole in the downtube/head tube lug. I'd make it just big enough to clear your (coax) wire + a bit of heat-shrink tubing for reinforcement. Carefully deburr the downtube hole--it is a high-stress area (hence the reinforcement). If you're running a wire to a rack, then consider a run to the non-drive chainstay, an exit through the rear-most vent hole, and drilling your rear rack for the wire. If you're using fenders, a B+M Secula with the coax wire glued/taped in the gutter and a wire exit through the bottom bracket weep hole. A Toplight if you've got a rear rack (a tubus fly is light). Drill the rack for internal wiring so you don't snag the wires and run the wire through the non-drive chainstay. Otherwise? well, anything mounted to a cantilever boss is going to get whacked with hard use. Even the back of the fender location tends to get pushed around in ordinary use, though the lights are generally robust enough that they're not going to die easily. Other solutions are going to be less well-protected. Or just run two seatstay-mounted battery lights. The Cateye tl-au100 (BS) or (G) is reasonably robust, is actually weatherproof when installed correctly, includes a rear reflector, and runs on AA batteries. Get the seatstay-specific mounting brackets for your size seatstay from Peter White or Bike 24 or wherever you find the light. Buy a couple of spares for when you whack them--they're not expensive, and probably cheaper than the paint work after you add braze-ons to your frame for internal wiring.

Pixeo is great if your have fenders, or you could mount a SON tail light on the seatpost under the bag. http://www.peterwhitecycles.com/schmidt-tl.asp -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Lynne, I drilled out the hole and use a regular bolt with washer. It's perfectly fine. On Wednesday, February 4, 2015 at 9:54:38 PM UTC-8, Lynne Fitz wrote: +1 on the Secula Plus.

Quit dinking around. Get a Tubus rear rack, install a Topline.

My winter project bike will include the new Secula Plus on the right seat stay (first light pictured). Have not taken it on the road yet, but it appears to be a nice little tail light. http://peterwhitecycles.com/taillights.asp On Tuesday, February 3, 2015 at 11:30:49 PM UTC-6, Manuel Acosta wrote: Need a permanent rear dyno light That works for a luxo front with usb dealie.

[RBW] Re: dyno rear light?
Yo Manny, what about mounting a light on the seat stay eyelet? You would have to run a wire along the frame, which is a hassle. Seems like the only way, aside from drilling and running it internally.

[RBW] Re: dyno rear light?
Silly question; why not a front hub dyno? (Admittedly I'm amassing too many nice unused front hubs that I have otherwise replaced with dyno hubs, which is a shame... hoping for an alternative one day)... but in the mean time, is not the front hub setup simply too good to not consider???

+1 what Will said. Just do it! Then we can see how the rack holds up under SMAFU usage :) ~Hugh -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
