I put the bike on the stand after each ride and plug the power cord in the light. Done. Battery always charged. <BR/><BR/>I mount the light under the handlebar - looks better imo and is more protected on endos.<BR/><BR/>The <A HREF="http://www.feltracing.com/08/product.asp?catid=1504,1525&pid=8763" REL="nofollow">X-City</A> is Felts internal hub urban bike. Only rode them around the shop floor but they seem to have a nice shift. If you want gears, internal is a good alternative, but I wonder if the shifting degrades when the temps get really cold. <BR/><BR/>I prefer my ss, now fix, Mary with fattires, but my commute is only a couple miles.dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13715808669075015981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551402704648481350.post-79196994019028673292008-02-07T16:22:00.000-06:002008-02-07T16:22:00.000-06:00Ok, that Soho is a near perfect commuter.

Ever since getting a front hub generator, I'll never go back to batteries. No more forgetting to charge!!! Plus, with the rise of better LED technology, generators can be built less tank like since LED is way more efficient than traditional bulb. I just hope the technology keeps evolving. Right now there's only a couple generators out on the market, and not commonly seen either. The Shimano Nexus, DH 3N70, and the old school Schmidt hubs are it. All of these hubs are crazy heavy, 575g to 700g, which is about 2 times as heavy as a rear hub. Hopefully though, a company will take the time to figure out how to pare down the parts with an LED light in mind.
