piercing the darkness
I'm using a Schmidt Delux hub ..& headlight (Bike Friday, Just for Lights, myself) with B&M Toplight, Line Tail light
in the past ("Classic hub") there was a 20" and a 28" , now with LED lights the power demands are less..

May have brought more Electronics on the tour, But they took that all Home, with them.. I was Shipping bike back ..
For the LBS..
