Not to be difficult, but why do cyclist who mount a light to the side seem to prefer the right side of the bike for mounting? In theory, I guess that lets you...
It is hard to choose. In general I like them all, but want to try and avoid the comparison to the mopar logo: http://www.geocities.com/mopar1cjh/star.gif I...
Like you I'm puzzled. Last fall I bought a Berthoud front rack from Peter White, http://www.peterwhitecycles.com/images/products/Racks/BER31P34.jpg which...
right side is typically british, historically - puts the light out to the street side of the frame, putting it more in the eyes of potentially opposing...
I mounted mine on the right because that is where my dyno leads are located. Although it would require just a little more wiring to put it on the left, I...
Okay, in a similar vain... Is there a logic to the handed-ness of bottle generators? Left (non-driveside) seems to prevail, though alternate right-hand models ...
Right side mounting might have something to do with the wire length. I liked my lamp a lot when I had it mounted at the drive side front axle, but I simply...
Here's what I thought of. Although not following it up I heard that in the US most car bike incidents at dusk or in the dark was from cars entering the roadway...
Andy, I guess centrally located would be ideal. I mostly run a light either side on my porteur but if I'm just running one then it's on the right. I feel more...
The utility rack builders of the world have now officially been put on notice. Portland has thrown down the gauntlet, again. Great work by the Ahearne crew. I...
I run mine on the left. My expectation is that vehicles entering the roadway are looking for cars, not bicycles, and are looking at a place where the car's...
Very stylish for sure. Why was it built to be collapsible? Seems like that would compromise strength, although it is still probably pretty sturdy. Doug...
... Hmm... one could make an argument that by splitting it up side-to-side that only HALF your gear will get thrashed in a crash, instead of all of it. Do you...
... Are Dynohubs directional? Would it not work if you flipped it around or rode backwards? Just curious since I've never used one. I like lights and bells on...
... Oh, I can see a demountable porteur rack being VERY useful. For travelling or for storage, primarily. I've yet to actually remove my porteur rack, but if I...
... "I run mine on the left. My expectation is that vehicles entering the roadway are looking for cars, not bicycles, and are looking at a place where the...
... I recall a thread on the iBOB list about running Schmidt hubs backwards: PJW said not to, because it shortens the lifespan and makes things bad, and...
Okay, I guess I didn't really consider that while the P/R will fit in a bike box, a normal porteur rack will not. I suppose this Ahearne will... Doug...
I have a Schmidt hub and I never saw any instructions on mounting direction, or any indication that there was a difference. I can't locate any instructions on...
... I just remember it because PJW got onto somebody on the BOB list once for saying that he had run his SON with the connectors on the left for a long time...
... Ok, I found it. Here's what it says on PJW's SON page: "While you can mount the old hub with the connectors on either side of the bicycle, the current...
... As was mentioned earlier in quoting PJW's site, it was OK on older SON hubs, but not with the current production hubs. So the person who said they've been...
Ahearne - http://www.ahearnecycles.com/racks.htmr. Much $$$, but absolutely loverly. (Thanks to my wife for the Xmas present.) Rgds, th ... -- Tom Hubbard ...
... Ha, yes good point. I do try and make a point to alternate my left- and right- side wipeouts. I was actually thinking more along the lines of the side I...
