The expense of a dynamo system is considerable, and battery lights have gotten very good even at low price-points. Obviously, battery lights require more daily planning/conservation. It comes down to weighing the expense of the dynamo vs the inconvenience of keeping your batteries charged during

I used a very wide variety of battery lights and three types of generators, hub, bottle and bb. Here's my take: If you ride just occasionally in the dark, battery lights -- if you choose well and IF you can remember to charge or replace the batteries as needed or bottles or bb dynamos are the best

FYI, you can get similar but not as pretty as the nitto clamps at home depot or plumbing supply places for a buck or two. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d

Anne, I used one of those dreamy shiny stainless steel clamps with the rubber inserts, maybe they're designed to mount racks to forks or seat stays, but I used one around an LED flashlight, and secured it to my WALD basket with a single bolt and nut and a washer. I bet you could do the very same t

IQ Cyo: half the price of the Edeluxe with (as far as I can tell) 100% of the light, tho' without the nice aluminum case and better than at least the older Flys, which are still decent. (I have all three.) FWIW, unless you are interested in top o' the line, a Shimano dynohub at almost 2/3 cheaper

I have the Edeluxe and Cyo lights, and in my experience the Cyo does indeed put out the same light, equally well focused and aimed. Yes, it's in a plastic housing, but I think it goes well with some bikes (like my Pashley Guvnor: http://www.flickr.com/photos/35176...@n03/3626397321/) The Cyo l
