Brian, Have wired taillights 2 ways and both have worked fine. I have wired a dynamo taillight by running the single wire from the dynamo along the down tube, secured by zip ties. Went along top of the bottom bracket and drilled a small hole into SKS fenders. Then taped the wire inside the fender. Drilled another small hole just below the mounted taillight and pulled wire through for connection to the light. I did not get a good ground with the SKS fenders so ran a short ground wire from the taillight to a fender stay bolt. This worked without trouble for 2 years. On my new Hunqapillar I decided to run the single wire from the dyanamo across the top tube, down one of the seat stays and along a fender stay. The wire was secured by several zip ties along the way. This bike has VO aluminum fenders and I did not need to make a separate ground connection. Only had this a few weeks so will see how I like the external routing. While the dynamo lighting set-up is expensive I have really enjoyed having good lights available without having to fuss with batteries. Steve

Hi, I'm about to install fender mounted, dyno powered tail lights on my Sam H. and my wife's Trek. We both have Cyo IQ headlights. Hers is at the fork crown, mine on the front of the rack. Best route to run the cable? Least obtrusive, most secure method of attachment? Also, this winter, I plan on Rivifying my early '90s Miyata road bike. What's the best way to remove the decals? Neon is so 1992. Thanks for the help. Brian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
