Well I was going to bring along my new Schmidt hub tomorrow but tonight's fettling wasn't entirely successful. I got the new Durano Plus tyre onto the rim OK (with help of my son holding the first bit on for me, what are kids for eh?). Tried fitting the Cyo to the canti mount which was a very good position and all Ok except that if I tighten the bolt enough to hold the lamp firm them that side's brake pad doesn't move when I brake. I hadn't twigged this is a moving part of the V brake up until now. Tried mounting to the head of fork next but unfortunately I am lacking a long enough bolt to go through the bracket, a gazillion washers that would be needed, and then the mudguard and nut at the back. Had a look at my bolt collection in the garage and realised these are all for fettling cars or DIY and none of them are in bikey sizes.
I am torn between adding one of those canti bridge thingies to mount the lamp off, getting a much longer bolt for the canti then attaching the bracket to the end of it with some kind of nut so the lamp can't move but the canti still can, getting a longer bolt for fork crown mounting (which might be fouled by my bar bag), or ordering a chronometro nob and mount from Peter White (who doesn't approve of my forks because he says they are plastic
).
Either way had to stick back on my normal from wheel for tomorrow as I lack the hardware to attach the light currently.
Also realised that connecting the wiring seems to need some sort of heat gun to shrink the plastic onto the cables. Since I don't own said gadget was wondering if I can use a cigarette lighter or even my hairdryer?
