dirtrider Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 As some may know I did not cycle in the dark , cause I can;t see in the dark . I spend many hours in the sun (although not hot it was shining . The little solar charger did it's job charging the external packs but like Johann said , if you gonna cycle a lot at night or spend your nights in the bush under a tree you gonna need a bit of extra power for those lights . Duracells will give you two nights with some lights .
johannrissik Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 is this the same hub that (I think) Mike Woolnough used on the munga? One of the blogs mentioned the dynamo failed half way through the rideNope. http://mikewoolnough.blogspot.co.za/2015/11/munga-equipment-choices-part-2.html Mike's is a Supernova and the connector clip broke, he will no doubt engineer a vastly improved clip Graham Bate ( Cyclec) sells the SP hubs.
dirtrider Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Just more stuff to carry. Dynamo hub is the answer if you're looking for charge on the go capabilities. The maths don't really add up . My 4 external packs weighs about 500g . I agree for racers this would be the solution but for somebody that battles to keep the wheels rolling it is not , I spend many hours testing these hubs and they are awesome but not for me .

No one said anything about maths... My point is, it's something extra to a) pack/ find space for and b) weight in your pack which translates to weight on the saddle. The dynamo provides a solution replacing an already existing part and keeping the weight out of a pack.
