Ready for long night riding again, apologies for the messy wiring it’s functional I assure you. Dynamo hub, front and rear light and usb charger for my Garmin.

@wlukewindsor I wondered about a Dynamo, but 24 hour is about the length of my longest event and my light lasts 22 so I have plenty of light. Even bikepacking I'm rarely going to be out long enough to use all the battery capacity I carry.

@curtismchale Dynamos are great for me because they don’t need charging and they can charge either my phone or my Garmin - and a 600 is a stretch for both even with a power bank (although a I’ve done that in the past)

Like a lot of regular overnight riders I have a backup LED rear light (using AAAs) and back up rechargeable front light. Being in the middle of nowhere with failed lights is no joke (and the backup front light doubles as a torch).
