Another "lighting" question.
I recently found a well kept Dunelt for my husband. My old and now crashed (while avoiding contact with a car which failed to yield) Sprite came to me with a Dynohub and lighting system. The Sprite wheels, not damaged in the altercation, are larger and I don't think there will be enough clearance to use them on the Dunelt. Is it possible to connect the SA front and rear lights from the Sprite to a bottle generator for use on my husband's bike?

Or you could lace the dyno hub into a 26" wheel for the Dunelt. Yes the lights will work with a bottle generator, however you will need to swap the bulbs out for a higher wattage. The GH6 hub dyno puts out about 1.8 watts a typical bottle generator about 3 watts. Need a 2.4watt head light bulb and a .6 watt tail light bulb.

Well just swap wheels and find out if they'll fit? It should only take a minute at most to see if it will work or not. My personal experience has been that most of these cheaper bikes with 26 x 1 3/8" tires have more than enough clearance for 27" wheels.
