this

wired computer wired to the rear wheel

wireless can also fuck up with blinky lights, powerful power lines, other computers

I couldn’t get my wireless bike computer to work with the dynamo on the front wheel. Didn’t care enough to try with the rear. YMMV

I see what you did.

Huret Multito FTW:

NOVELTYNAME · April 29, 2015, 5:58pm

Many other options to explore.

TC kinda want that huret jawn, but then i couldn’t use front panniers.

NOVELTYNAME · April 29, 2015, 7:52pm

ftfy

joyofvaping · April 29, 2015, 10:13pm

but i always pee on the nds, doesn’t everybody else?

JUGE_FREDD · April 29, 2015, 10:19pm

no, that’s towards the center of the road

drwelby · April 29, 2015, 10:21pm

Depends which way the wind is blowing

eric_ssucks · April 29, 2015, 11:12pm

it really depends on how dirty my drivetrain is. A good whiz can really get a lot of the dust off. Just be careful not to trip over your freshly peed on bike lest you get it dirty again.

fuck i wish i could remember but cateye does make a wireless one that works on a different frequency that doesn’t get as fucked when there’s multiple signals involved. Buddy actually used it as a speedo for his dirtbike to street legal conversion and they bought off on it. I’ll shoot off an email and see if I can find out.

edit: any of their digital wireless ones should work.

Nope
Ccmc100w doesn’t

get me into bulk wire and spade lug style connectors for dynamo setups. i have ~700 bikes that will be living outside and getting beat to shit by “not bike people”. wiring is almost entirely internal and/or shrouded, but people are def gonna fuck it up somehow.
connectors are kinda like

The B&M lights use 2.8mm spade connectors. I searched for “2.8mm crimp terminal” on eBay and got a bag of 100 from China.

I’d skip the included plastic shroud and just apply two layers of heat shrink instead.

For my bikes I finagle them with pliers but for a whole bike share you’re gonna want a specific open barrel crimp tool.

look in the phonebook for a local electric supply house. literally anyone will have those things

the front dyno hubs don’t use one of those shimano lego style ones?

Andrew_Squirrel1 · April 30, 2015, 3:52am

I’m pretty sure the B&M spades are small enough to be considered obscure for most local electrical shops but I could be wrong. Ask Fred for the part number for the cable reel he helped Ocean Air obtain.

NOVELTYNAME · April 30, 2015, 4:00am

Too obscure for RadioShack and the local electric company had a bag of 1000 or something
