Dynamo wiring
Do you have pictures or descriptions of your wiring for your dynamo lights (or wiring for anything, really)? It's hard to do a neat job of it. I remember [MENTION=137164]southpawboston[/MENTION] showing some very clever techniques, but they require more skill than I have (or more time than I am willing to spend).
Once again, I'm trying to use blobs of silicone glue on the frame and fork and embedding the wires in them. I hold the wires on for a few days with zip ties.
Also, how much extra slack do you leave? Ideally, there should be none, but I'm always afraid of cutting them too short, so I leave them too long and coil the excess which is ugly.
