I've used the Union's pictured in the link another published. I've found it quite reliable. I've used it them on fully fendered bikes with no problems. One bike has a braze on for a shift lever to control the generator, but the other used the remote control that comes with the generator. I like it much better than any bottle generator. It's about as quiet as a hub generator. Never used it in snow. I switch to a hub generator for the winter. The Union has adjustable tension against the tire. I never had one slip in HEAVY rains. I would guess it would work in light snow, but I don't know how it would handle that heavy slushy stuff that sticks to everything. >Thank you > >Craig Bowman -Mike in Cleveland, OH, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mike Sherman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Bicycle Lifestyle" group.
