Poor Rose. Years of cycle commuting has taken its toll and her hub-powered headlamp has fallen to pieces.
I have chosen to replace the headlamp with a Schmidt Edelux II LED light from St John’s Street Cycles.
I like the simplicity of packaging. It suggests that all the effort has gone in to designing the light, not the box it comes in.
The new headlamp is unveiled. What else has come with it?
That’s everything needed to complete the replacement. The extra coiled cable is for running to the rear of the bike to power a tail light. However, Rose has two large Cateye LED lamps powered by batteries that help keep us visible at night.
As you can see, the lamp supplied is the version with the 140cm cable which will need to be cut to length and prepared for fitting to the front fork. More on this in another post…
