This is the first time I’ve trusted a bike shop to do the work, in one way, I’m really happy I did- in other ways I wish I’d have done it. I’m glad to have had someone else take the risk of boogering up the fenders and someone that understands the wiring.
It’s a SON hub that goes to the Edeluxe II light and from there it splits to a Sinewave Revolution USB charger and a Velo Lumino tail light.
I wish I’d done it so *I* understood how all this stuff works. The wires out of the headlight got yanked- I don’t quite understand how they anchor in there. If I’d done this- I’d have understood it.
As far as the setup goes- I’ve been really spoiled with Light and Motion lights. They’re really bright and really great. The Edeluxe is… “OK” in comparison. It’s a light , it’s better than nothing. Which is at odds with the pix on Peter White’s site. I’ve done a little evening riding and no night time riding with it- and I actually have not used the Sinewave yet.
I’m a little surprised about the amount of drag by the SON hub- but I think I really only notice it because I switch bikes so frequently- I think if I just rode rhe 620 for a while- I’d be used to it.
All in all- I’m lukewarm on it.

I was referring to the lighting system.
I think we've discussed your bike- you had a 600, not the 620. Same tubing, different geometry.
I very much like my 620. I think I have more miles on this bike than all my other bikes... maybe even all my other bikes combined.
