Think of it this way: if you go to another state and buy a widget, their
tax will be on the receipt. There are exceptions (clothing under a certain
amount in NYC for example), but it makes sense.
And Mark in Beacon makes an excellent point - the taxes may be helping

Hi Leah. When I've traveled and bought stuff out of state, the rule has
always been that if I take it with me, then I pay the tax, and if I have it
shipped then I don't. I doubt California would be any different. It's
always a question of how much to ship versus how much is the tax.
I boug
Tax rules for internet sales recently changed. From what I understand, in
addition to collecting tax in our State, the company I work for has to
collect sales tax in those States where our sales go beyond a certain set
minimum--a minimum which is different for each State. Kind of a nightmare,

Pretty much true. This might all be a ploy to get someone to put my bike
together for me for free. 😬

I'm down for this! I'll do that thing all mechanics do where I explain a thing
with "You just do this and this, and it's all good", then Leah will look at me
like, "Yeah that didn't make any sense at all." Hilarity will ensue! 🤣

Ryan! You may have just arrived at the very best idea EVER. I’ve got room -
ship all the Anniversary Mixtes to me! You guys will show me how to be a
mechanic, then we will take our first ride on our fleet of AMs together. I will
torture you on Killer Hill (pray it is not summer) and we will come

I think you should put them all on your credit card, have them sent to your
garage in Nevada. We can all show up with our cash to reimburse you; we will
open them all together like it’s Xmas morning.
Next we can have an assembly party and give basic mechanical l
If you purchase your bike or take delivery physically in ca you will need to
pay sales tax. If you order it online and you have it ship to you, you will
only pay sales tax if they have an employee in NV.

Back to the Anniversary Mixte again. I have all these plans and ideas for/about
this bike, and one of them was that a bunch of us could arrange to pick up our
bikes on the same day and do a group ride and take group photos, and wouldn’t

Schmidt, Busch & Müller and Supernova all say that the Velogical dynamo
should not be used with their lights and such use will void the warrantee
on their lights. The Velogical produces too much power at high speeds and
can damage lights built to work with normal dynamos such as the SON,

I much prefer dynamo hubs to any other system I've used, but others who
don't want the cost or expense of dynamo hubs and who don't ride long
distances at night might consider bottle and bb-area dynamos. I've only
used (a) cheap Union and Sanyo bottles and (b) very expensive, top-end 12 v
bottle. T
All four of my bikes have dynamo hubs. When I got my Cheviot I initially had
battery lights which were ok but I kept spacing out on recharging or being out
later and darker than I planned. No worries with the dynamo AND it’s worth
having lights and the extra visibility when riding in shady canyo
I somewhat misadvisably decided to open the light to see whether it even

impressive but devishly difficult to get back in with the correct

The Supernova Triple and the early E3 headlights were just round beams, not
well suited for use in traffic. But starting around 2008 or so they began
to offer the E3 in a "low beam" version. That's when I started importing
them. The Triple is a fine headlight for riding single track. The original

Thank you so much for the discussion.

The only quibble I would have with the Supernova is that it has what I would
call an “American” beam pattern, which is basically a cone of light that shines
equally up, down, and side to side. All of the quality lights out of Europe
(think Edeluxe) have a cutoff pattern that shines down on the r
I suggest reading up on Peter White Cycles webpage. Supernovas have a good
reputation. I don’t think the E3 is as old as the bike.
There are not many dynamo tail lamps that are good for daytime compared to
modern battery strobe lights. Strobe tail lights aren’t allowed in some
countries in Europ
I have a question. I recently acquired a lovely Bombadil with a SON dynamo
front hub and Supernova E3 front and rear light. The bike is circa 2008 and so

I have both a B&M IQ-x and B&M Luxos U on my two main rando bikes. I like the
Luxos for very long road rides to charge Garmin or phones/devices while riding
during the day and let the lamp work alone at night. It can definitely charge
and run the light at the same time tho. Another great feature
All I can say is my hanging edeluxe ii dont look anywhere near as bright as the
vendors’ online pics show. Works great though and bright enough. Just not as
bright and uniform as pics show.
IQX is on my radar for next light.

Winter approaches, and as summer wastes away so do our hours of sunlight!

Sorry about your light getting stolen, anything stolen off of your bike
feels personal. My antitheft device is a ball bearing and some Gorilla
Glue in the hex head. The glue sets pretty hard, and Ive tried getting

That sucks! Sorry to hear about that. Well, here in Twin Cities,
Minnesota as soon as new mandatory bike lights law enacted; no functioning
lights on your bike during dark hours, you will be fined $190! That to the

I came out of my Dr appointment today to find the 5 zip ties holding the

It's just a cheap IQ Fly.
Is light theft like this common? It was on a busy street in daylight. An
Acorn bag was left alone.
