Thanks for the input. I will look into those suggestions. An off topic question. On the Clem, there are screws in the top of the fork crown on each side. What would those be used for?Are they used to mount some racks? or what? I ask because I have never had a bike with those

Re: [RBW] Re: Shimano DH-3N72 Dyno Hub Light Recommendation

You're right that a standard Edelux would not fit without a bracket, but the Eyc is so small that with a simple spacer, it will bolt to the eyelet and not stick up high enough to interfere with a bag or basket placed on the rack. Anton On Friday, January 29, 2016 at 8:34:21 AM UTC-5, Steve

Hi Stephen, Back in 2007 I bought an A Homer Hilsen from Riv. I was living in Yorkshire at the time with a baby on the way and Grant's philosophy about having fun and focusing on versatility really hit home. I sold a number of bikes to fund the complete bike (with racks and bags). The import

I agree with Steve that the Edeluxe II is probably the ne plus ultra of road riding dyno lights (I am going to try an uber Supernova for dirt riding, if my LBS can find it in stock). Even my Edeluxe I (beam said to be narrower and less bright) is * almost* good enough for my bad night vision off

The new Eycs are 1/3 the price of the Cyos and have a beam almost as good. I've had great luck with my first SP hub. No discernible drag and no discernible vibration, unlike my two Shimano dynohubs. I liked the SP so much I've ordered a second one to build up into a new wheel for another bike.

Yes, I am aware of Mercian but whether or not they'd do it, it fundamentally seems a bit rude to get them to copy a GP bike. I like the cut of Riv's jib so it seems right to buy from the originator. When it comes to body proportions, I am a bit abnormal - 6ft with 95cm pbh - which normally

Hi Doug, Re: why some still use dynamo hubs Gone are the days when dynamo hubs were " ​ 575 to 720 grams and cost from $257 to $426." Shutter Precision's hubs are sub-400g and around $120. Don't forget to subtract the weight of a front hub, too. The weight penalty for a dyno is a measly 250g or

Re: [RBW] Re: Dyno light recommendation

I don't know the weight penalty. I do know the price penalty, and it is a small price, for me, to never charge lights. Never have a battery run out. Have lights on all ride every ride. What percentage of my rides are at night? Every evening commute needs lights for months at a time. So I like

Re: [RBW] Re: Dyno light recommendation

I was a late defender of battery lights, but after trying SONs and modern LEDs, it was no contest: as used as I was to regular charging (using up to date equipment) it was so much simpler to have a dyamo system. And hubs still seem to be the best mix of price, low drag, power, and aesthetics.

[RBW] Re: Dyno light recommendation

I'm on the fence with this one. My boys ride Shimano dynos with EYC fronts and TopLine Light rears. It's an excellent setup. They run them all the time, obviously for night commuting, but also as day lights. I think running day lights is a vastly underappreciated value-add. My wife and I run

Re: [RBW] Re: Dyno light recommendation

Bill and Joe, Yes, of course. I didn’t mean to demean dynohubs and certainly not the people who use them. My point is that just a few years ago dynohubs were the clear winner for anyone doing longer rides. But batteries are really getting stronger, cheaper, and lighter. Like 10,000mAh with

[RBW] Re: Dyno light recommendation

Personally, I cannot imagine life without a dyno hub. It's always on, and always works. I value this particularly in the depths of winter when I'm commuting in the dark more often than not. Plus, it's cold out - I don't want to fiddle with plugging in this and that .. I just get on and go.

Dynohubs are way less hassle IMO. They're always there when you need them. I don't even have to think about my lights and that's the way I like it. I've ridden both hubs and battery lights extensively on long brevets. I'll stick with the hub. On Jan 29, 2016 18:52, "Doug Williams"
