As expected there's a lot of good info but it's clouded over by the
author's opinion that dynamos aren't really the thing, despite a few
million happy users out there.
"They're too expensive"... well, I've got expensive dynamos on my far
more expensive bikes, because I find the investment pays off for me.
"They're not powerful enough"... mine are powerful enough for long trips
on unlit roads in winter.
"High power battery setups are much better"... I have one, don't use it
any more as it's far more of a faff than the dynamos.
It's not as black and white as is being made out.
Pete.
