#5 - I believe that most generator powered headlight beams were designed to project from just above the wheel (rack or fender or fork crown mount), as that is sort of constant within a short range. Handlebar heights can vary greatly and can end up with the light pointed down too much. The

Home-made clamp: PDG!! (= Pretty Damned Good) Those cantilevers: '90s -- but I can't just now recall the maker; at any rate, I do recall that they are considered top designs. Can you name the maker? On Mon, Jun 12, 2023 at 10:37 AM Matthew Williams < matthewwilliamsdes...@gmail.com> wrote: >

Thanks! Yes, the clamp was purpose-made: I fabbed it from a piece of scrap metal. > On Jun 12, 2023, at 9:35 AM, Ted W wrote: > > I love how the tail light is mounted. Is that a purpose made clamp or is that > a rack clamp repurposed? > > On Mon, Jun 12, 2023 at 12:31 PM Matthew Williams

I love how the tail light is mounted. Is that a purpose made clamp or is that a rack clamp repurposed? On Mon, Jun 12, 2023 at 12:31 PM Matthew Williams < matthewwilliamsdes...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi everyone, here are a few photos of the progress. > > I’ve installed the taillight, just need to

Sean, is that wire similiar to others with two joined wires that can be split and stripped or is it something different? Pic is pretty bad on their site. Do you know if it's sold anywhere else? On Monday, November 21, 2022 at 4:08:02 PM UTC-8 Sean, PNW wrote: > The 22AWG wire offered by Velo

The 22AWG wire offered by Velo Lumino, currently out of stock, is the best solution I've found for threading dynamo wiring through tight spaces such as fork legs: https://www.velolumino.com/product/premium-22awg-wire/10?cp=true=true=false=false On Monday, November 21, 2022 at 3:30:12 PM UTC-8

I did something similar on on my Surly Travels Check, but had to drill the holes bigger. That fork had a small hole at top of fork leg tube, I couldn't go up into steerer tube like yours. Definitely looks cleaner, but drilling your fork is not ideal, and I doubt you can get the wiring through

I wired my Sinewave through the fork blade on my Crust Bombora, and it was probably one of the most frustrating tinkering projects I’ve ever attempted with any of my bikes. I almost gave up numerous times, and I actually had to do it all over again once I had successfully completed the routing.

My Pashley Guv'nor came with an enlarged hole on the right side bottom of the fork and a slit grommet in a hole on the top of the fork even though it didn't come with a generator - I rectified that with a Sturmey-Archer 90mm Drum Brake Dynohub. My former Trek Belleville had internal wiring in

I’ve been tempted to do the same thing. I’ve decided to instead purchase a Pass & Stow rack which allows for internal routing. On Sunday, November 20, 2022 at 11:19:55 PM UTC-8 jmlmu...@gmail.com wrote: > I’ve done it a few times and used a Dremmel to enlarge the hole near the > dropout. No

I’ve done it a few times and used a Dremmel to enlarge the hole near the dropout. No matter how much I tried to run the wire without enlarging the hole, I failed. I ended up soldering the “fishing” wire to the cable and pulling it from bottom to top.Took me losing the cable several times mid
