New B&M IQ Luxos headlight is listed at bike24. "Delivery unknown". It was supposed to be due for release in December, wonder what the schedule is looking like 'cos I'd love to grab one of these to kit out a new light set for the Nomad

Jags,

On the top right hand side of the main page you will see a flag, click on it and you can set you language and preferred currency.  You will not be disappointed if you get one.

All the best.

Is this still for your Raleigh with the 622 wheel, Jags? The wheel on that page is 26in, 559. (I was just showing you the wheel Peter bought, not suggesting a wheel for you to splash out on...)


The 622mm/28in wheel with that dynamo is here:

You might have to ask the seller to "confirm" what size wheel you're getting...

Also, if you're already irritating a shopkeeper by changing an order, remember he doesn't know which wheel you really intended to order. Some of the other wheels on this page are attractive for the same price, notably the Alfine hub dynamo wheels with disc/rim brake capability, though I see the disc is centre lock, not six bolt.

If you're not ordering a lamp at the same time, and don't have a suitable lamp, I have a BUMM halogen lamp that you can have. It isn't fabulous but it's free, and when you finish with it you can chuck it or give it to someone else. If you want it, send a street address to andrejute at coolmainpress with a dot and com.

It seems likely that they want to keep the order in German for their own protection. Go to http://translate.google.com/#de/en/ and paste the URL of the bike shop's page on which you want to buy the wheel into the big block on the left, then above that in the middle, if necessary, click "Translate". Then just proceed with the order as normal. You can also German text and paste it into the block to have it translated.

Thanks Andre seems the wheel wont be available until 16th

[Danneaux]

Friday'll be here before you know it, jags. Also, keep checking and hit the "Refresh" button on your browser each time. Sometimes, these things arrive sooner than expected.

Hoping time passes a little quicker than usual for you,

Dan.

[jags]

Jags,
Have you considered the Axa Nano Plus light? Mine is excellent and it has a usb port for charging stuff during the day.
Or if you don't need the usb port they do a cheaper version, the Axa Nano.

I bought mine from the same place, came in a couple of days.

[jags]

Cheers Rual cant afford both i'm afraid not just yet anyway.
what's that light like for lighting up the road how would you rate it.

you know it's amazing i've been trying to sell two sets of perfectly good road wheels for the last two months, and all i can get is guys willing to offer me half the asking price.
the wheels i'm trying to sell come with tires tubes and cassette 

[jags]

ah the wait for this wheel is cracking me up i check the site every day still no good news, end of january .
well i can't at the moment afford to get the headlight but does it usually come with enough cable to also do a rear light or do i need to order the cable seperate what else would i need to get to get the job done to perfection.
