Listed for wheel diameters 16-28” 6V-3W. Obviously the output wouldn’t be same across that diameter range at equal speed so what specific wheel diameter would that rating be applied to, I wonder. For my purposes even a 1.5W would do, so probably not an issue here.
Sw8 Cyo ripoff. Is that an ebay special?

ooo yeah that’s a dealbreaker. I understand from a “cheap shit” perspective why they’d do that but I’d be pretty uncomfortable not to have a standlight shartmo
I bought some $12 ebay dynamo+tailight a couple winters ago and neither have a standlight, I ran it for my 1 mile commute on my snow bike but honestly not gonna go back, going invisible as soon as I pull up to a light sucks.
One of my Cyos has a dead standlight, so I switched it to my road bike which doesn’t see much stopping time. Tail light has a good standlight which is the main thing when stopped at traffic lights etc.
yeah i’ve got a secula on the back so it’s okay, i only got the cheapass light coz cyos are $170 here and i wanna flip this bike but i don’t have the heart to
Ugh just really don’t want to get killed by someone doing a sloppy left turn or anything like that (speaking as someone who has a cyo with a dead standlight).

Real talk: does any b&m light have a good front starlight other than the tall one and the one with a battery?
Update for the knowledge pool!
3N80 rim brake hub with the T785 disc brake stator assy installed, locknut OLD still 100mm:
Differences: chromed locknut vs non chromed locknut, slightly different winding material.
Great Success!!
Bit of a struggle getting the old one out though:

there’s three:
- old IQ Fly (the tall one)
- Cyo Premium 1752QSNDi
- Luxos U (with 100mAh battery)
The Luxor’s B has an okay stand light. Not the best but adequate.
Post can’t be empty

I had this lamp and gave it to a buddy (along with a wheel) to baptize him into the dyno light and I regret getting rid of it
Hold your lamps close
