Am considering a bike camping trip this summer, unsupported, along a chunk (t.b.d.) of the Japan sea coast. Perhaps 7 days. Given my dependence on electronica, I'm thinking about USB (re)charging on-the-go.
I'm attracted but not wedded to the idea of a front dynamo light featuring a built-in charger. For the long term, it would be great if the setup could be swapped between my Timtanium road bike and carbon CX/adventure bike – both 700C, disk-brake on the front – with relative ease. For the rear, a battery-operated flasher is fine.
I've been reading this and similar articles, but would be delighted to hear any experiences, suggestions and/or recommendations regarding dynamo hubs, lights, chargers, batteries and their myriad combinations.
