Long Term Test: Shimano hub dynamo.

Shimano DH 3N20 hub dynamo on my folding bike

I've just got a Shimano hub dynamo for my little bike, and I fitted it yesterday.
I have a 100mm front OLD on my folder, which is wider than many folders, and is the same width as the front wheel on a "normal" bike, as well being the same size as a child's 20"-wheeled bike.

For those of you with narrow wheels, try this link to a chap who has experience with Shimano DH F7 series hub dynamos with an OLD of 74mm (my Cinzia had an OLD of 100mm, same as a "normal" bike)

Moving shopping - a tip

Strap from shopping bag wrapped around bell mount to reduce strain on basket mounts

I went shopping yesterday, and the shopping bag was a bit more than the rated strength of my front basket.
I had about 7.5 kg (16.5 lbs) of shopping, and my basket is only rated for 5 kg (11 lbs).

My bicycle - an update

Just bringing you up to date on what is what here at Pedal Pusher Mansions!

I've got a package coming from Holland for our bikes with a few goodies in it.
There is

• a hub dynamo set into a front wheel for my bike
• an LED headlight for my bike
