And no doubt a bit of brand, and a bit less efficiency through bulk construction.</p> <p>I've got a SON on the MetaBike, but I've just ordered a £30 Shinamo special for the iron horse upright. From what I've seen, the drag with the light on is very close across the board. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13458#post-177564 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 00:01:26 +0000 Smudge 177564@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>A thought that crossed my mind when I ordered a Shimano XT dynohub from Rose for iirc less than £50. Yes the SON has *slightly* less resistance than the Shimano according to some test figures I found somewhere whilst googling, but £170? Really? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13458#post-177563 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 23:47:41 +0000 Instography 177563@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Why are SON dynamos worth £170 when the most expensive <a href="http://www.rosebikes.co.uk/article/shimano-dh-3n80-hub-dynamo/aid:489153">Shimano</a> is £100 cheaper? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13458#post-177556 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 22:38:27 +0000 Uberuce 177556@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That is a little on the long side. I'll bite the seven'n'sixpence and get it sent here, but ta for the offerising. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13458#post-177505 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 12:42:01 +0000 Darkerside 177505@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Reasonably pronto, but can wait for you to decide. Although surely it's a case of:</p> <p> - Can I afford a SON?<br /> - If yes: SON!<br /> - If no: pick most expensive Shimano I can afford.<br /> - Bask in glory of a job well done.</p> <p>I won't be in Edinburgh until the 31st, if that affects your decision.</p> <p>Should probably have mentioned that first... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13458#post-177491 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 11:45:13 +0000 Uberuce 177491@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Can I have a deadline for my homework? I definitely want to get a dynolamp from them, but aren't sure what hub I want yet. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13458#post-177458 Sun, 11 Jan 2015 21:41:36 +0000 Darkerside 177458@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Dynamo-time for my upright, so another order going in on Rose: <a href="http://www.rosebikes.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">http://www.rosebikes.co.uk/</a>.</p> <p>Anyone else? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13458#post-166151 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 16:02:42 +0000 steveo 166151@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>PM's inbound chaps. Prices are slightly higher due to dodgy exchange rate offered by Paypal, I'm still convinced its better than the one offered by my credit card. Though nothing like as good as the one Rose advertise. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13458#post-166147 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 15:07:20 +0000 steveo 166147@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Wonderful, something disconnected between paypal and rose. I'm now not sure if my card has been charged or not and Rose shows no sign of my order... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13458#post-166145 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 14:56:43 +0000 steveo 166145@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>cool. More plugs good was basically my thinking too. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13458#post-166144 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 14:44:53 +0000 wingpig 166144@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Put me down for a Shimano dynamo connector plug thing too. I think I still owe Uberuce for one (and the concomitant postal fraction) but more plugs = more modding ops. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13458#post-166137 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 14:05:38 +0000 steveo 166137@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Any more for anyone? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13458#post-166114 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 10:43:22 +0000 steveo 166114@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm not sure they'd work with the Shimano connector it seems to be a little proprietary (surprise!). </p> <p>They're cheap and handy so not a big deal to have a small stock. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13458#post-166106 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 10:28:29 +0000 Darkerside 166106@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.halfords.com/motoring/garage-equipment/auto-electrical-supplies/halfords-assorted-spade-connectors-hef516-male-female" rel="nofollow">http://www.halfords.com/motoring/garage-equipment/auto-electrical-supplies/halfords-assorted-spade-connectors-hef516-male-female</a></p> <p>Not quite as elegant as what came with the SON in the first place, but have been working solidly enough for the past year.</p> <p>And thanks </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13458#post-166104 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 10:13:27 +0000 steveo 166104@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Done.</p> <p>I'll get a small supply of the dynamo connectors as they're relatively hard to come by. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13458#post-166102 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 09:58:20 +0000 Darkerside 166102@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Quick FYI (although I'm sure everyone knows already): dynamo spade connectors and wiring heatshrink can be had cheaply from the car wiring section of Halfords.</p> <p>Steveo: can you add this in?</p> <p><a href="http://www.rosebikes.co.uk/article/b--m-toplight-view-plus-dynamo-back-light/aid:684726" rel="nofollow">http://www.rosebikes.co.uk/article/b--m-toplight-view-plus-dynamo-back-light/aid:684726</a></p> <p>I'm due over in Edinburgh at some point to collect a back from fimm, so could grab this at the same time.

Does anyone need anything from Rose? I'm hoping to order a new light in the next few days. </p>
