How’s the output off the front lamps capacitor? Any other supply in the line out to the rear?
Can’t speak for rusty, but I’m running two taillights (Toplight Line Plus and Secula) and one headlight (Cyo Premium) on a bike with 26inch wheels and Shimano hub. I have not noticed any issues with the front light, and honestly I think it lights up faster than the Cyo on my bike with the Sanyo hub and one taillight.
I think the only “issue” I’ve had is that the Secula stand light stays on a lot longer than the Toplight but I’ve just imagined that is because the Secula only has one LED
If I didn’t hate wiring work I’d think about adding a third taillight in the saddle like rusty…

Does the Shimano lego brick work on a Son hub as well? Not really stoked on wheel removal and 2 loose clippies.
-
Any way to fit a 15x100 Son hub to a qr?
Feel like I remember these being answered, but can’t recall the answers.
- It doesn’t
However the two loose clippies in practice are easy to deal with
And son have a kit to convert them to coax pluggie if that is your desire
I have both setups on different bikes and they are fine.

I’ve heard electrical tape and sugru
Shimano Lego is a kludge
What are you doing to remove that wheel so often that you need this?
Fwiw, I have a drawing of a Schmidt lego I tried to 3d print but it didn’t work
I don’t, just saw one and the dither machine between my ears started revving up.

@jeffro went absolutely hog wild with this a few years ago, right? custom connector plates in the dropout?
Talbot in the UK has done conductive paint rather than wiring
I think @Andrew_Squirrel had a whole lot of elegant applications of commonly available cabling and cable interface stuff going on with their various bikes.
I, too, get a-dithering when this comes up. 4 bikes wtih dynos and counting…

there were some breezers (?) with SON hubs set up to route power through the axle ends to a conductive plate in the dropout. iirc jan heine was involved somehow. Some tarckers got the wheels on closeout

Yeah, SON sells a special hub and conductive dropout plates for your framebuilder to build into a fork. As I remember it, Wiggle blew out a bunch of those hubs a few years ago and various folks here snapped them up and dithered together out ways to create the electrical connection at the dropouts without building new forks.

Yeah, I was working for Canyon at the time and they were definitely extra stock for the weird urban bike they made and didn’t sell very well.
