For me, I am thinking this might be a good option for the likes of Audax rides and at a reasonable price. The lack of battery kills it as a touring option.

My concerns relate to the wiring. Number one being the lack of connectors which can be a pain in terms of SON dynamos given the size of their connectors. The other relates to the light connection. Maybe I am missing something there, but as I read the review there is only one wire to the light. Lights such as my Busch & Muller Lumotec IQ Cyo Senso Plus use two wires which seems to raise an issue with this device. Have I got that right?

Andrew
