Sanyo NH-T10 Bottom Bracket Generator

I bought a Sanyo bottom bracket generator from Peter White Cycles.  I was intrigued by the design benefits and curious how well it worked.

I made two small modifications.  Installation details are in [photos and captions].

Watch for another report if I decide to install the cable release (rather than running the generator all the time).  And watch to see if I make a tire-surface brush (to keep detritus from embedding itself in the generator wheel).  And watch for a report on installing the light (B&M Lumotec Lyt).  And how well I like the pattern...

Hi,

How has the Sanyo generator worked for you so far? I am considering getting one also.
Thanks and ride safe.

Doug,

My Sanyo generator is still working great. I have been using it moderately for about five months:
- During dark mornings of my commutes, 2-4 times per week
- During a few hours in dark mornings during one 200K per month.

It has been completely reliable.

The extra load is noticeable, but not overwhelming.

I am totally happy with it.

Hello

Im curious on how you wired the single wired NH-t10 to the dual(+\-) headlight?

Thanks!

Hi Christopher,
I *think* the connector on the generator has two wires. I will check it.

Ah, two would make more sense.

Thanks for checking
