It happened again this week: disturbed the wires from B&M headlight
while getting the bike out to cycle home, and pulled the silly little
spade connector of: refitted it ok, until the darkest bit of the
journey, where it came off again, and fumbling around in the dark I
managed to break off the terminal.
Why are they all rubbish? Why can they not use industry standard
connectors?
The only exception I have is the SigmaSport lamp which has a concentric
plug/socket for the cable to the battery pack, which sometimes works
loose, but is easy connect/disconnect.
I'm going to have to open up the lamp housing and solder wires
directly, but I'd like to put a decent connector block or something on
the end, so it's easy to dismount again. Anyone know where to get such
a thing? There used to be a Radio Shack near me, but they seem to have
gone...
