I’m stripping the full kit off my (drop bar, 2x10) randonneur frame and putting it on the ‘ini. Quill stem and sidepull calipers are the only changes predicated by how the frame is built. Will see how the light hoops and 32mm RH tires fare on a Riv frame designed for higher volume rubber. On T

After putting together my first dynamo system (front and rear lights on a Clem L), and focusing solely on getting it to function, I took a step back and the rear wire wasn't exactly appealing to look at. Getting the wire to hug the frame and then the rear rack (Nitto 32R) nicely wasn't immediate

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

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:

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
