Re: [RBW] Re: Recommendations for front and rear lights to use with dyno hub
Nope. I have it on the front of the Nitto Mini rack and the small TurnkSack is behind it. I just posted some photos on a new thread that you can look at. http://tinyurl.com/25wez6o As far as I can tell, there is no interference with the light. BTW, where is the sensor located?

Re: [RBW] Re: Recommendations for front and rear lights to use with dyno hub
Checked the Spanniga Plateo rear light on my morning commute that starts in the dark. The light definitely turns on automatically on the Senso mode as soon as you move the bike and then stays lighted for around 30 seconds or so once you've stopped. I didn't time it, so it's just a guess. I'll time it tomorrow. The Edelux on Senso mode keeps turning on even in bright morning daylight, so I'm not sure when it won't. So far it seems to me that on the Senso mode, as soon as I roll the bike the light turns on. Am I missing something?

Re: [RBW] Re: Recommendations for front and rear lights to use with dyno hub
I just installed on my Atlantis a SON 28 Dyad 36 wheel Rich built for me with SON Edelux and rode it for the first time today. It wasn't fully dark so aside from enjoying how good it looks, and the Senso function, I'll have to wait until it gets ligher later in the mornings and/or darker earlier in the evenings to fully assess it. I paired it to a Spanninga Plateo Rack Mount Battery Tail Light that I bough from Velo Orange that also has the Senso function so even being battery operated, when the bike is moving (not when it's stopped) and it's starting to get dark, the tail light also lights up automatically. I have yet to fully test it to understand for how long it stays lit (if at all) once the bike stops, but I could assert today that when off, it will turn on when you roll the bike. It has a huge reflector and seems to be pretty bright, but it doesn't have a blinker setting, which I've read is better as blinkers tend to draw the eyes and where the eyes go the car goes, especially if the driver is impaired by alcohol. I don't know if that is true, and for extra visibility I also carry a PB super bright rear light clipped to my Sackville Medium Saddlebag. Sometimes I set it up to blink, sometimes not... Anyway, this being my first ever dynamo setting, I'm feeling pretty excited and will be happy to share my experiences. The front/rear Senso feature is awesome as it means I don't have to remember to turn the lights on or off, just go riding... and know that if it starts getting darker they'll turn on automatically.

RE: [RBW] Re: Recommendations for front and rear lights to use with dyno hub
I think LEDs have such long lives, this doesn't end up being meaningful -- or so Peter White intimates on his lighting pages. But that being said, I run wired taillights on my dynamo bikes, and the wires seem unobtrusive and unobjectionable (to me). I do supplement with a battery blinkie, or the DiNotte (BRIGHT!!!) 400 taillight. -Original Message- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Anne Paulson Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2010 3:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [RBW] Re: Recommendations for front and rear lights to use with dyno hub On Tue, Oct 19, 2010 at 9:14 AM, stevep33 wrote: > Given that battery taillights are so good, it's hard to justify > running dynamo wiring to the rear.

RE: [RBW] Re: Recommendations for front and rear lights to use with dyno hub
I have one made by an Australian company called PedalPower, which I got from Peter White. Used it to keep my iPhone charged on a camping tour (on my Atlantis -- Riv content) this summer, and it worked perfectly -- which meant we could use the phone as a GPS, by day, and make calls at night. It's quite light and unobtrusive. B&M makes one, too, but it needs a (currently unavailable) cache battery gizmo for the iPhone, so Peter suggested the PedalPower device. -Original Message- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of PATRICK MOORE Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2010 10:40 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [RBW] Re: Recommendations for front and rear lights to use with dyno hub There is at least one device (and I think PJW carries it or at least mentions it) for charging mobile thingies off your dyno hub -- I've not paid much attention to them but I've caught references to them.

Re: [RBW] Re: Recommendations for front and rear lights to use with dyno hub
I agree. I have the Radbot (as well as several SuperFlashes), and I would find it hard to justify the trouble of running wiring to a dynamo-powered light. Carry a couple of extra AAA batteries in your bag and you'll have more than enough light to carry you through PBP. --Eric N On Oct 19, 2010, at 9:14 AM, stevep33 wrote: > Given that battery taillights are so good, it's hard to justify > running dynamo wiring to the rear.
