And long, epic rides aren't the only place generators are good, either. I was getting annoyed with riding to work in the morning and getting halfway there only to see my battery light switch to low-battery mode.
I started keeping a battery charger at work to make sure I always had a full battery pack to get home, and I tried to remember to prep a fresh set before going to bed every night. True, it didn't take that long to do these things, but it's just
another thing to do.
Once I got the dynohub, I didn't have to make battery care part of my routine. Grab the bike and go. It helps make the bike into an everyday tool, not just something for special trips.
