Dynohub & Light for low speed riding?
I have a Cygo-Lite Rover II light of about 250 lumens on super high. A low speed the low setting is adequate. Another nice feature about the light is that it illuminates a two lane road not just a narrow section of it.
I've been thinking about getting a dynohub and light but there's one problem that I can foresee. A lot of my night time riding is at little more than walking pace along very twisty and narrow (single-track) trails in forest preserves that are shortcuts for me.
I've consider a Cygo-Lite Centauri 1700 or the Cygo-Lite TridentX Xxtra 1300 as a new light. However with a dynahub and light I wouldn't need to worry about batteries.
So a dynohub and light for me needs to be bright enough to ride single track in a forest at night and yet have a long reaching and wide beam to use on two lane roads at night at speed. Can any one here recommend such a combination that either they or a friend of theirs has used? I REALLY do not want to go to the expense of experimenting with dynohubs and lights but want to by something that'll work for me the first time I buy.
Cheers
