• Easy to replace yourself with basic tools

• Universally applicable to many bicycle systems

• Improved reliability and continuous light

Types of lighting components

• Micro-USB, USB-C

• Compatible with power banks, e-bike batteries or mains power

• Sustainable silicone or braided cables

• Ideal as a replacement or spare cable

With crimp ties, you can repair or protect cable connections. An indispensable item for wiring that is exposed to moisture or wear and tear.

Tips for maintenance and repair

• Check regularly that cables are not damaged or oxidized

• Keep connections dry and clean to prevent disruptions

• Use adhesive tape or insulating tape after each repair

• Test dynamos by turning the wheel and measuring the voltage

• Mount cables along the frame with clips or snap hooks to prevent them from dangling

When to replace?

• In the case of fractures or corrosion in cables

• If the lights flicker or go out

• With worn-out dynamo pulleys

• When connectors no longer make a good contact
