OK... :???: But in principle, if you didn't mount your Dakota/Edge on your stem, the C2C could be mounted there with the switch along side, right? Would there be any disadvantage in doing that? Thinking as I type - full carbon forks and the C2C system don't work do they, as you've no route out of t...

Thanks, the connectors were included to try and make it as versatile as possible. I had a plan to make sure that i reversed one of the connectors so that I could remove the usb charger and switch and just use the Revo. This seemed a great idea to me, so I was slightly annoyed with myself after I rem...

True! I don't usually use the 800 on the hills, I had it plugged into to the C2C to get a feel for when it was getting enough juice and when I needed to pedal faster!

Anyone know what the sizing is like on these?

Thanks

Nice job Drew and I'm glad to see our taxes are going to good use :wink: Don't worry, I was on tea brake and I used the dynamo to power the machine! :???: :wink: :lol: I did consider setting it as a pupil task at one point though... in fairness some of them may have done a neater job! Cheers though...

Hi all, thought some might have some interest in this so here goes... After receiving a box curtesy of Shona over at keep peddling and a steady stream of packages from other internet sources I had all I needed to start making an idea a reality https://farm1.staticflickr.com/578/22579581213_6b026e04c...

Cheers buddy, I've got some "waterproof" connectors on the way too, I'm just wondering how waterproof they are actually going to be!? Drew Oh interested in what these are and how they perfrom. Hopefully they'll do the job, I'll try and update once they have arrived, they're just 2 pin wat...

I've got some "waterproof" connectors on the way too, I'm just wondering how waterproof they are actually going to be!? If they're properly tested/graded electrical connectors like those used in automotive applications, they'll be pretty good :wink: Hopefully, they are the automotive ones...

Thanks again bud,

Hopefully start to wire things up and take some pictures! In my head my design will be ace!... but what's in my head and reality are often two entirely different propersitions!

Thanks and I'll let you know when it arrives!

Drew

Drew

Cheers folks,

Reckon it'll stay on the bike mostly then.

Just waiting on some last bits and then I'll wire it up.

Thanks

Drew

Very tempted, I'll have to see if I can get a pass out!

Drew

Cheers bud, pm inbound

Drew

Thanks both, Yes it's the internal diameter that's the key, I have a SPDT switch that I want to mount to be able to switch the feed from the revo to the usb charger or just off. So overall the strength requirement is low, the plastic bit may be a winner Zippy, but don't worry too much if you can't l...

Hi folks,

I don't suppose anyone has a small length of carbon or plastic pipe ~30-50mm long with an internal diameter of 20mm and external diameter of ~22mm?

Happy to pay and cover postage

Thanks

Drew

Thanks for the collective input about how hubs and rims, Shona at keep pedalling sorted me out with a SP PD-8x on a stans crest rim. Just thinking about getting it taped and putting a tyre on it and turned to think about how folk use them? Do you / is it advisable to just run it as a normal front hu...

Thanks to Shona and Rich over at keep pedalling a lovely Dynamo wheel arrived this week, went for the crest rim and SP PD-8x hub, so thanks for the comments on here when I was deciding!

Now to get a tyre on it!

Drew

Clout where I grew up was a clout round the ear or clout it up the field... Similar to clouting arrows I'm guessing

Sounds like a great adventure that one, good effort chaps

Drew

Crests :-bd Having said that I had mine built into an Inferno 23 as that is what's on the back of the Fargo. What are you currently running and does having a matching wheel matter to you? Good excuse to get a new rear one as well I suppose... :lol: Cheers Nige, Currently running Black Flag expert p...

Hi folks, With some birthday money and the prospect of all my lunchtimes on duty I reckon that I'm going to invest in a dynamo hub. I reckon I've decided on the SP PD-8x as a hub, seems to be well respected and robust, and with the insert can be used with standard QR and bolt through options to make...

I've been known to put the legwarmer grippy bit over my shorts than under too when they've started to bite more than I would like.

I'll try this I reckon, makes sense really!

Drew

Cheers folks,

I'll have a look see at some of these, thanks.

Drew

Hi all, After many years faithful use, my outwet leg warmers have left me with rather nice red rings around my thighs after the BB200, only this year, and the last few long rides have been fine. Whether it was just the extra long route last weekend, but I also ripped a massive hole in the calf somew...

Good read that Ian, good photos too!
