[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 108700, member: 456"] The thing is Mike that things have moved on in the last 40 years and what you found acceptable 40 years ago has, with years of hindsight, proved not to be as reliable as one would wish. Over that 40 years there have been a lot of developments, Chinese dynamos, Altons, Walkernators and many more. With the modern need to ride with lights on all the time, to power flashing indicators and possibly heated clothing more power than can be extracted from the original dynamos is required. We all have our favourites and, as you will have read, there are people currently experimenting with alternative systems. Time and experience will eventually decide which of these ideas will prove to be reliable on the road. [/QUOTE]
