I'm starting to think that taking 2-3 additional FR batteries for a bike trip or hike is an easier solution :-)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/5/23 David Reyes Samblas Martinez <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:david@tuxbrain.com">david@tuxbrain.com</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">in australia there is a company called <a href="http://www.pedalpower.com" target="_blank">www.pedalpower.com</a> that has<br>
the full solution, I trying to reach them but with any luck I will try<br>
again tomorrow morning. but in parelell I trying to make my own<br>
solution, just a aux batery able to recharge while charging providing<br>
500mA will do the trick, just precharge that battery and it will at<br>
least be mantained by the dynamo. I still searching for one that<br>
fits. For the dynamo hubs , my local bike workshop is searching for an<br>
affordable one(shimano, afiline..), but the main problem is that all<br>
dynamo hubs requires to unmount and remount the hole wheel, and this<br>
is an added cost in the total amount. so he is also searching for<br>
wheels with the dynamo hub already mounted. once I got information I<br>
will post.<br>
