RE: [RBW] Re: Lights

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

RE: [RBW] Re: Lights

I have a SON 20 dynamo hub with a Supernova E3 and Supernova taillight on my Atlantis. 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

[RBW] Re: wide-Q road crankset?

Yes the Campy square taper crankets have been a good deal. I picked up a nice Centaur 50-40-30 a month ago for a great price. I had to buy a different bottom bracket as they use an ISO type. ~Mike~ On Oct 5, 5:08 am, "Frederick, Steve" wrote: > Plus, the old style, square taper campy cranks hav

[RBW] Re: Lights

I've been using the Dinotte 200 AA model which uses 4 NiMh rechargables. It is a bright 200 lumen light and has a very clean beam. The only drawback is the 2 hour run time at full power. You can carry an extra set of battries for longer night rides. That B&M Ixon light looks pretty nice too... Is

RE: [RBW] Re: Saluki build decisions

I'm pretty sure Saluki's are spaced 132.5mm so you can run hubs with either OLD. Mine is anyway. Alternatively, you can have a 130 hub respaced to 135--my LBS did that for the 105-hubbed wheels I put on Anne's Bleriot... Steve -Original Message- From: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com

[RBW] Re: Lights

I can't say enough good things about the BM Ixon IQ. It's a fantastic light. I've used it for the past 2yrs of randonneuring with no issues. Much more affordable than a generator hub and light and easy to remove from the bike and switch between bikes. I purchased mine through Harris Cyclery. --mik

[RBW] Re: Lights

If you can park your bike in a secure location most of the time, I like Steve and Seth agree a hub generator and a light such as the EDelux or the Busch Muller CYO is a very good choice. If security is an issue enough you would like to remove your light from the bike when parked, Busch Muller make

Looking for light recommendations for use in my ride in the early morning hours, about a 10 mile ride on dark rural roads. I am looking for suggestions by Riv owners for lights that work with their setups. I am a longtime owner/user of the NightRider "classic", which was ok, although I never liked
