You should be good… Pretty sure that’s how most rear dynamo lights work… wired into the front light. Just read up on what connectors you’ll need if you plan on doing the wiring / soldering yourself.On Mar 16, 2023, at 10:55 PM, Matthew Williams wrote:Hi everyone,I have a SON dynamo front hub,

Hi Mackenzy — I find it uncomfortable to pedal out of the saddle for more than a few strokes with my hands in the primary grip position on swept back bars. With a grip in the 'hooks' of the bars on Albatross, Billie or Ron's Ortho bars it's no problem for me. I've installed Boscos on a bike I

I have not felt comfortable standing on the pedals in many years. I sit and spin regardless of the type of bike. On a single speed, I will dismount and walk when the slope is too steep - not often the case in Florida. I seem to remember a top cyclist from years ago advocating for sitting and

This is interesting not only in a practical way but in a speculative way: to see how different people like to climb and to see the bike designs and builds that encourage their preferred climbing methods. I've wondered about this when looking at the high, swept-back bars on so many Rivendell

I'm one of those riders that has never really felt comfortable standing and climbing no matter what type of bike or setup. Perhaps my form is just bad, or whatever... but I've always preferred to just gear down as low as needed, lean forward and churn away while seated. I'll stand occasionally

If I still had one of the 3 RR’s I had I would have done a conversion by now. Sold my last custom which was a 56cm, not sure how Grant put me on that one but it worked fine with 700’s. I believe 650b would have been better. On Thursday, March 16, 2023 at 1:51:02 AM UTC-4 Peter Bridge wrote:

I understand that the position is comfortable for most riding Mackenzie. Short of changing the bars and stem to place your hands at and forward of the steering axis, you'll experience what you do. There isn't a better way to push a wheelbarrow uphill, you know ? It's design thing, I get that,

I suspect that stem length is a key component here. My Clem has a 135 stem, my Gus a 100. Both have Bosco’s & the Gus is longer so reach is virtually the same on both. Standing climbing is very natural on both. The bar tips on my bikes I suspect are farther away than others? When making a sharp
