Just installed a set of Schmidt E6s (primary and secondary) and a SON hub on Connie's and my Tour Easys. For those of you who have wondered whether hub generators are an alternative to battery driven lights on roads, the answer is yes! Good light pattern and freedom from recharging means that whenever you need the lights you have them. Most of the time I have ridden with my NiteRiders meant charging them up and bringing them from home on special rides. Were I to get stranded out late away from home the only lights I've had were small LEDs.

But with these lights I don't have to do anything special to be prepared to ride in the dark. And there is no limit to their burn times. I could ride a 1200K brevet and have light not only the first eight (8) hours of darkness on the first night, but have light for the other night time riding as well, without having to either recharge batteries or install new disposables.

Neat!
