Hi Wyatt, This looks great and I've been curious about this method since seeing Anton Stutter use it. Did your Thomson post have a hole in the top or did you have to drill one? Thanks! Rory On Thursday, November 14, 2024 at 12:15:32 PM UTC-8 Wyatt wrote: > [image: dynamo rear light.jpg] > Her

I have use small amounts of Shoe Goo adhesive to attach wires. In my experience it holds through all kinds of weather, is removable if need be and does not harm the paint. On Thursday, November 14, 2024 at 2:12:58 PM UTC-5 Bill Lindsay wrote: > I only have the annoying jerk thoughts: > > A dy

I just wired a clem (dark greenish? bronzey? not sure the official color) because it's so dark, the black B&M wire hardly shows as it twirls up the fork leg. it goes under the basket to the left side where the front light is. the rear light follows the cabling to the rear brake, all the way to

I was just about to bring those up Jeremy! They perfectly fit the son coaxial cables and the adhesive is quite strong, just make sure to clean and dry the area before application. Collin in DejaVoakland On Tuesday, November 19, 2024 at 11:04:18 AM UTC-8 Jeremy Till wrote: > A couple of years a

Thanks, everyone! These are some awesome ideas. I'm also wondering if a few strips of strategically wrapped newbaums might be a fun way to address this. The author of last week's newsletter (Will?) mentioned he just bought a Clem and is going to add a rear dynamo. Maybe I'll ask him as well. I'l

You know those plastic tubes that 90’s MTB would run the rear brake cable through along the top tube? I used one of them and a couple or 3 tiny zip ties to follow the brake cable, it kinda disappears that way. Plus it is on the non drive side for pictures! On Thursday, November 14, 2024 at 7:1

My dynamo lighting "hack" has been to fully heat shrink wrap the chintzy looking wire, it ends up looking more like cable housing which isn't so jarring to look at on the frame, and I've found is easier to route around rack parts On Thursday, November 14, 2024 at 1:05:19 PM UTC-5 Jkarlin wrote:

this bothered me at first, on my AHH, but I'm so in love with the light I don't care anymore. I did the best I could to keep it tight under the top tube and it looks fine. Like Wyatt, have the B&M with p-clamp hack but mine's mounted with a braze-on. Will put it under the seat once these little

I only have the annoying jerk thoughts: A dynamo tail-light is super cool to have, and worth the money to pay somebody else to do the internal routing for it. For any bike that I don't want to spend the money on paying somebody else to deal with the internal routing, battery tail-lights on t

I've had similar issues where the wires ruin the look of the bike. I would suggest that you find speaker cable wire that either matches the color of your frame/cable housing and either crimp or solder the terminals. It's a lot of work... but hey, it's a cheap alternative! Also, pics would help
