I have a dynamo hub. I've never used the dynamo. I have a USB powered front light and various USB powered gewgaws. I think I should buy a (USB powered, I believe) Garmin thingy. Surely the dynamo should be able to power the USB stuff.
This "List of Hub Dynamo Power Supplies for USB Devices" (put together in Australia in early 2012) shows a number of options. They're from companies I haven't heard of (suggesting that obtaining replacement parts could be difficult), they're expensive, and some look poorly designed.
Cat Eye makes things that need powering, but seems to stay clear of the powering itself. I see nothing at either of two branches of Y's. The one randonneur-oriented shop I've been to (Hasegawa) is delightful but (because?) it doesn't seem to acknowledge any technology postdating 1970 or so. Any recommendations for devices or shops?
