They don't seem quite as bright as the hub mounted ones for some reason, but they're much better than a coin cell light.Davidhttp://www.brunswickspaceadministration.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534311928413156169.post-35585742103549970002010-09-30T15:20:26.937+10:002010-09-30T15:20:26.937+10:00Hi David. Thanks for the feedback. The only thing ...Hi David. Thanks for the feedback. The only thing I would do differently would be to have done it sooner! Have done quite a bit of riding now and it works great. Just have to be careful with wiring and keeping it out of the way of moving parts as my recent post will attest to. I would also get the 14AH battery upgrade but alas it was not available when I purchased mine.<br /><br />You are right about the nexus and coaster brakes. Mine are still sitting in a box - I could try selling them I guess. Or maybe Peter will sell you a Christiania without a back wheel for cheaper lol!<br /><br />Hey was checking out your link to the Reelights. I see they now have a version with wires that would work on the Christiania's rear wheel and luggage rack. Might grab one of those! I'd love something for the front as well but bit hard to mount the generator with no forks on the front wheel and light mounting also bit of an issue...Aaron...https://www.blogger.com/profile/12865074332241279242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534311928413156169.post-72902858081995838522010-09-30T13:42:44.598+10:002010-09-30T13:42:44.598+10:00Might I say this is a superb effort!

I was planning to get a Christiania bike in Melbourne and do much the same thing, but am still tossing up between a hub motor or elation/cyclone type setup. Your setup seems far more elegant, though it seems a shame to throw away a perfectly good nexus hub and coaster brakes. Anything you'd do differently the second time around?Davidhttp://www.brunswickspaceadministration.com.aunoreply@blogger.com
