They finally arrived. After what seemed like a lot of chasing around and waiting all the parts were finally here to build up my bike. I have a custom set of wheels the rear being built on a 36 hole shimano 105 rim with plain gauge on drive side and double butted on the other laced into an exal XR2 rim. The front is an SP SV8 dynamo hub built into the same rim and all in silver so extra classy. The hub runs a Luxos U front light and toplight line brake rear light all from busch muller. The rear lights extra interesting it uses power stored from the capacitor to emit and extra bright light when power from the dynamo drops of quickly. I’ve tried to view this but i almost crashed a few times ( something not to try on your own ). The Luxos U came with a different USB fitment to my first light I am still not sure if there are a couple models of this light as haven’t been able to find any information online. Instead of the USB being in the handle bar switch it attaches to a removable block that comes out of the switch. So far all seems to be working well. I have a few adjustments I want to make before I head to france at the end of the month to test it out fully. Here are a few quick photos.
Shiny new light
