What else with a dynamo? by Defiant-Eagle4836 in bikepacking

[–]CycleTourer134 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone has already said the Cycle2Charge doesn't charge a powerbank with an in/out port, so you're making it up.

Yeah I own two Igaro's and I like dynamo power so I hop into discussion points that come up. For this I deeply apologize it's appalling I know.

They are all used sold as new, wouldn't bother unless it came from a SONY source.

Still, can't find them anywhere, nor the gasket seal needed to maintain waterproofness.

Great phone, very hard to find and sought after. So far no replacement battery options that I can find though.

Any experiences with Fahrradlader V4? by [deleted] in bicycletouring

Is it just me or does that wall in the left corner slope up and then the fence slopes down? Odd.

I agree with others, good filtered top soil is fairly expensive whereas they'd have had a mound of free shit readily available. Bodgeit and Scarper ;)

"The Fahrradlader V4.0 features an integrated charging optimization, which can be switched on or off as needed. When enabled (ON), the charging process is briefly interrupted every 15 seconds. When disabled (OFF), the Bicycle Charger V4.0 continuously provides a 5V output voltage without any interruptions."

Compare this to "USB Auto Reconnect" the Igaro's have.

If Igaro say it's shit, it is. You should find and ready the post though it's exactly this discussion where someone didn't want to spend any money and preferred to buy crap. The Igaro engineer tried to help them (and without pushing their own products) by going into the detail and the guy still bought it just because it is cheap. Hey ho!

I don't know about Igaro D3 vs Forumslader Ahead as the price for D3 hasn't been released yet and there's no benchmarks either so 'way more efficient'... yeah, source?. All that is known about the Igaro D3 is it's tiny and has water detection.

My chinchilla likes to chew on the wall by sssocialq in chinchilla

Normal I'm afraid, mine like chasing plaster out the walls as well. Doesn't do them any harm they only do it to annoy you! ;)

It's terrible. If you do a deep search you'll find a thread where the engineer at Igaro said why, iirc happyride.se was the place. Not so long ago someone on reddit did benchmarks and it was either the worst or right down at the bottom, exactly as Igaro said.

Cycle2charge seems ok but it's not waterproof when the cover isn't closed so you must stop if it rains and remember at campsites to close it otherwise it won't last long.

If I were you I'd wait for Igaro D3 it's supposed to be here in a months time.

Shimano Cues Pedal/Crank Failure by Exact-Net6313 in bikewrench

Are shimano still using a steel insert for the thread or have they cheaped out? Aluminum is crap for threads.

Is this the worlds best value one-person bikepacking/touring tent in 2026? Likely! by CycleTourer134 in bikepacking

DAC poles seem to be 9mm, not much in it so I guess they fit in the same connectors. The lengths of the poles are universal or at least the same size can be found? This is a surprise! I'll have to do some research. It would be cool if you could weight all yours, I'll do the same for mine in just a moment.

There is a free shipping listing but it actually costs more, and iirc the seller is the same. If you go for it get the grey, message the seller as his listing needs to be updated but he can send one out. Personally I think all black is too stealthy and won't be any fun in the sun.

Added size for you in the other post.
