So there I was, out for a late-afternoon ride with my (excellent) new
Cateye Single Shot Plus blazing away. Hmm, I thought, I wonder how it
compares to the dynamo light? So I flicked on my faithful old B&M
Dymotec 6. A hideous screaming noise followed, and a feeling as if
someone had just slammed on the front brake for me. The resistance has
suddenly increased hugely on the dynamo, to the point where it barely
works at all. I'm guessing some water or grit has somehow got inside,
but I can't find any way of getting at the innards to lube them. The
alignment's still right, the roller and tyre are OK. The instruction
booklet that came with it doesn't help at all. Anyone know whether you
can do anything to lube/maintain these things, or is it dead?
.... Or is it just sulking because I've snubbed it for my flashy new
battery light...
Thanks
