Good to know... I think I'll do the same during my upcoming trip to the US
(buy Schmidt lighting wire + fancy quick disconnects). Sad that I have to
go to America to buy German parts, because I am still not sure about how to
ask for these things in European bike shops.
On Wednesday, August 7,
I bought about 10ft. of Schmidt lighting wire from Peter White, as the
Supernova tail light wire was not long enough. I did the slpice near the
rear of the bike and hid it behind the non-drive side chainstay, attached
with zip ties. I mounted my quick disconnect on the front rack, it was the
Confirming, yes that is an Acorn bag.

Ah I see, so you already had the BM taillight on hand.
Did the taillight come with enough wiring to route all the way down the
frame and fender, or did you have to buy any extension? I know you

the same, because I have

It's news to me that center pull (or, for that matter, cantilever)
brakes have a complicated cable routing that interferes with handlebar
bags. I have had four bikes with such brakes, two with center pull (one
bolt-on Mafac Raid, the other brazed-on Paul Racers) and two with
cantilevers (wide
Oh lucky me! I get a visit/ response from Jan Heine's personal lap dog! It

And your contribution, Brian, is what -- misinformation and personal

beautiful build. I'm surprised at how different the AHH looks with the R-26
vs Big Rear Rack. How do you like the Hold Fast Straps? I'm thinking of
getting them for my winter fixie commuter (instead of traditional toe clips
and straps, which have totally rusted out now).

On Sunday,
Very nice build Brian.
What kind of front bag is that. It looks large without being overwhelming.

What a timely post! I am actually in the same dilemma, where I have a
Supernova up front, and wanted to get a fender-mounted taillight. Alas, I
only recently came to realize that my headlight is only compatible with a
Supernova tail light. I had no idea you could place the Supernova
Thanks! I really like the Hold Fast straps and have them on a second bike
as well. Clipless SPD always seem to aggravate an old running injury in my
knee, so these are a welcome solution for me. I like pedal retention but I
also like being able to ride in most any shoe in my closet. I am
Here are a couple of bad photos of how I did it.

It was a pretty simple job and I did not get worked up about it being pro
level work. I removed the existing light's internals, sawed the Supernova
tail light mounting tabs off so it would
Looks very nice. Pray tell, what about the function of the Tektros do you
prefer over that of the Paus's?

The Pauls while stiffer, were more of a pain to get set up correctly. I
seemed to be forever between spongy feel and squealing like mad. I did have
them working well and then I swapped the wheelset to the current one w/
different rim widths and profiles and had to re-adjust again. Frankly, I am
Brian:
See if you can get the fender rack struts to share the lower (rear)
mounting eyelet. If you look at the Nitto strut, the second hole is
directly above the lower one, so you can drop the rack perhaps an inch
(?). The way the rack strut angles, you have to start cutting it to the
rest
Thanks for the info. I hadn't heard the paul racers were fussy that way.
Well I knew how the cable routing differed, but the other stuff, not so
much.
