[RBW] Re: Anecdatum: Single datapoint "pro" for dynamo lighting.

This is the point Leah (Bicycle Belle Ding Ding) mentions: She rides a lot and always has her lights. I ride not as much but run my rechargeables day and night and tell myself they're fine. Have I forgotten to charge them the night before? Yes. Have I charged them but still had one crap out on

[RBW] Anecdatum: Single datapoint "pro" for dynamo lighting.

I think there has been a recent thread or 2, or perhaps just thread tangents, about dynamo lighting versus battery lighting. Here's my $0.05. I rushed off to Presanctified liturgy (Orthodox Lent is a month behind Catholic Lent for reasons I don't understand) this evening at 5 pm after a pretty

Just be aware that is a fairly low end dynamo in the Shimano range. Slightly heavy and draggy in comparison to the higher end Shimano and SP products. Some shopping around on the German sites might get you an SP hub or an LX/XT hub built into a wheel. Shimano does have a restriction on

You seem to be savvy in wheel building. I have a disk brake dynamo in gold currently laced to a 700c rim with machined sidewall for rim brakes (so versatile!) Let me know if you're interested. I'll send pics. On Wednesday, March 27, 2024 at 1:01:53 PM UTC-4 mathiass...@gmail.com wrote: >

[RBW] Re: How do I know when a saddle fits?

You write that you have tried many saddles but were any of them woman specific? Through a lifetime of touring and casual cycling I never had a saddle that I would describe as comfortable until I found the Terry Liberator X. By comfortable I mean that I just don't notice it when riding.
