Anton, That looks like a very nice solution. I like it. The only issue I would have is that you're still putting your fingers into a tight space to make the connections, though not nearly as tight as when putting the 4.8mm female connectors on the male connectors embedded in the axle. So

Peter, Is the plug completely waterproof? From your photos, it appears the female portion is facing up, and vulnerable to water pooling inside. I do like the compact appearance of the coaxial connector, but until it's proven, I prefer using my spade-to-banana plug adapter. The plugs are gold

We now have a good solution for this. Schmidt is making, and I'm stocking, co-axial connectors. You place them in line a few inches from the hub. Then the spade connectors stay on the hub, and you connect and disconnect the wires using the co-axial connector. One connector for both conductors. If

I much prefer the Shimano-style connectors. Easier to set up, easier on and off the hub. Try fiddling with the spade connectors in the dark near the end of a 600k brevet and you’ll know what I mean. Schmidt’s spade connectors, by comparison, look like almost Victorian. --Eric Norris

I have the IQ-X and the Edelux II. Both are good lights, but I like the beam of the IQ-X a little better. The difference isn't huge, but it's there. The Edelux II probably has a better quality build, but the there's nothing wrong with the IQ-X. And the IQ-X costs a bit less. But as the others

i've used both. can't go wrong with either i don't think. i prefer the edelux. the IQ-X has a plastic band that wraps around the lamp and secures and fixes it to a rack/wherever. i also prefer the edelux beam, the IQ-X is plenty bright, but the beam is a bit narrow for me. On Thursday,
