the wheel is out of stock
I think the 90 lux version is double the price of the 80 lux version. Below is a picture of the light from the B&M I listed above. I think that should be more than adequate, and looks at least as good as what I am currently using. It has a nice long low beam, which I like.0 -

60lux is fine, I've no doubt the 80lx is excellent.
Email rose about the wheel I linked, they will probably build it for you.
Where will you mount rear light, do you have a rack? I bought the Secula plus as you can't mount it on seat stays. Power hungry according to the audax crew on yacf
Will be riding with one of the Fleche team at weekend and will ask what set up he has0 -

ended up buying a (spur of the moment) schmidt Edelux from cramcycle, so I need to look again at the rear light as I don't think the one I linked to will work with the Edelux. Back to the drawing board!
Luckily its still bright out. 0 -
Depending on how family life alters my view on long distance cycling, I may have a dynamo hub for you in the futureended up buying a (spur of the moment) schmidt Edelux from cramcycle, so I need to look again at the rear light as I don't think the one I linked to will work with the Edelux.

That was already posted on page 1 of thread. There goes your excuse for 3 month delay!
Clearly the post was too long so I must have skimmed over it 0 -

I did a spin last night with a trip up to the Featherbeds in proper dark with my new Edelux II setup.
It was lovely except for the constant drizzle and wind! The cycling in the dark was nice and peaceful. The light worked really well out in the country-side but it isn't as good once you get near other light sources in town as those ruin your night sight and make the beam from the light seem much weaker. That means it's much the same as cycling with a basic light that's only for being seen, not seeing with.
I saw a doe jumping around having fun outside the tree-line on the way from Glencree to pine forest. Wouldn't usually see that sort of thing during daylight but I'm aware that there's probably a bigger risk of wild-life running out in front of me after dark.
My descent down Stocking Lane in the wet by dynamo light was only 50 seconds slower than my best time in the dry and broad daylight, which gives an idea of how effective the light was. I am a poor enough descender under any conditions though

Your safer with a lower powered light dealing with deer. High powered lamps are used to dazzle and shoot them by a small element of deer hunters.
When on mtb at night during winter deer are very unpredictable especially if I have mtb light at full 1000 lumens. Deer are by far the biggest danger when on mtb at night. I never fail to not encounter them and have a few close calls.
A solo deer in late September especially was probably a young stag. Rut time so he may have been limbering up!0 -

And???
and me wife had a baby, so the wheel was put on the back burner....
Anyway, got it fitted tonight. Im happy with the light from the edelux, brought it on a short dark dark road, and the beam seems so much better than the cree I was using. As for the wheel - it's a sturdy oul wheel, there is some resistence, but i was expecting that. All in all I am happy enough for now. Off to look for a rear light now.0 -
