Another thing to think about in considering a dynamo hub is that there are charger accessories that connect to the hub which will allow you to charge virtually anything on long tours. I used a Pedal Power charger from Peter White Cycles to keep my iPhone charged on a recent tour, and it worked perfectly -- allowed us to use the iPhone as a nav system all day long without (obviously) access to a wall outlet. Works for cameras and I'm sure a whole bunch of other things I haven't thought of. There are a couple of pics on the Atlantis set I linked to in my earlier message.

It is a spectacular combination. I have it mounted on the front of a Nitto front Camper rack, which has a medium Wald basket mounted longitudinally on it; the light mounted easily with one mounting bolt and no adapters required. It provides a very bright beam, with no discernable drag, and both hub and light are quite beautiful. Here's a link to my Atlantis set on my Flickr page, which show how it's mounted. http://www.flickr.com/photos/37542...@n04/4815789426/in/set-72157624427413755/ There's also a picture of the taillight, which is VERY bright (though tiny). I also use a blinking battery taillight to maximize attention, but the Supernova taillight by itself would certainly be more than adequate. It's really a pleasure never to have to worry about light batteries and chargers on this bike. On my other bikes, I use Exposure MaxxD rechargeable LED lights. They are if anything even brighter than the Supernova, but they have to be charged, and they're significantly more expensive than the Supernova (or, more accurately, about the same as the hub PLUS the Supernova). I prefer the SON/Supernova setup. -----Original Message----- From: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com [mailto:rbw-owners-bu...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of opa...@gmail.com Sent: Tuesday, October 05, 2010 10:39 AM To: RBW Owners Bunch Subject: [RBW] Re: Lights For those of you that are replying - do any of you use a Wald front basket with your light? If so - how is it mounted? I'd love to have a light mounted in front of the basket, preferably above/on the fender - but I never could figure out a way to make it work with the NiteRider.
