Tongue in cheek, supposedly newer dyno lights are not as problematic
LOL about over-priced, everything on my bike is over-priced by most folks judgement. My commuter/gravel-grinder/touring bike cost me ~$1200 with dynohub and disc brakes. Over-priced for certain, a $200 Craigslist bike is all I really need.

Every other claim you've made hasn't been true since 1980.
