[RBW] Re: Rewiring a battery powered taillight for use with a generator hub?

I generally agree; it ain't worth it... UNLESS of course you're retro-fitting to achieve a particular look. I'm attempting this for a project where I want to use a SOMA chrome fender-mounted light (Anton I wish I had seen your light first!!)... I gutted the light and retrofitted the dyno-guts

[RBW] Re: Dynamo Taillights

The Toplight IS nice, although my preferred brand has become Herrmans. Reasonably priced, the one on the left is SUPER bright; I can't imagine a blinky providing better safety, and the stand light feature is the best I've ever seen... BB[image: Herrmans H-Track hub dynamo (dynohub) tail lamp -

[RBW] What have I done?

Wow, Rusty... That's quite the event (so I'm told by a friend and his wife who rode it a few years ago). And contrary to popular belief, Iowa ain't totally flat. Good luck; I say go for it!!! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch

I just picked up a lot of 27 U.S. Postal Service bundle straps on eBay (36 in x 1 inch wide with spring clamps). A friend from the U.S.P.S. gave me one of these a few years ago and it's so well-made it's been my favorite... I've always wanted to find more. I will make available at least a
