I've treated myself to a new dynamo and lights but before I blunder into soldering etc c. Does anyone have a neat solution for push fit connectors that enable removing the lights without using those awful spade connectors.
I've trawled through a few forms but I thought it might be easier to ask the experts on here.
Thanks

Re: Son to sinewave wiring tips
I bought these and then just used the actual.connections (.not the plugs ) which can be crimped on to your wire and then covered with shrink wrap. They just push toether and give a tight connection. One worked loose* when pushed together after about 2 years but a gentle bend of it made it firm again. cheap and easy solution avoiding soldering.

* for the rear light never from the dynamo to front light. Dont thousands of miles over 5 years ir more with this and its a cheap solution

These make connecting/disconnecting from Son hubs a breeze. SJS will make up a wire loom or whatever for you if not confident with coaxial soldering.
Like this, but with the sinewave connections you need:

Re: Son to sinewave wiring tips
Looks really neat. I've bought a few decent bullet connectors off eBay and some silicone covered wire. I'll try to get myself something soldered up first and if it looks awful I'll go down the road of buying something already made up.
Re: Son to sinewave wiring tips
I use XT30 plugs small and reliable,just needs some shrink tube to insulate soldered cable.

Re: Son to sinewave wiring tips
Thanks for all the tips. I went for the bullet connectors as I have to be able to switch the rear light connections over if I want it to flash or stay on, so I can't use a connector that only plugs in one way. All seems to work. We're riding to the dales from Whaley bridge on Friday night then back home on Saturday night just to get some night riding miles in so it'll be a good test.
