12 Lighting

Anyone cycling on public roads is required by law to have a properly working

set of lights (a), see chapter “Legal Requirements for Riding on public

Roads”. It is important to be familiar with the design of the lighting so that

you can repair it yourself in the event of a failure.

The dynamo (generator) produces the current required for operating the light

bulbs. It has two cables attached to it, one running to the front light and the

other to the rear light and back.

12.1 Bottle Dynamo

Please mount the bottle dynamo (b) with its drive shaft vertical to the wheel

axle and with its roller in full contact with the tyre. The bottle dynamo can be

mounted to the front or rear wheel. The dynamo is engaged with a lever or

a push button. When engaged it is tilted with its roller against the sidewall of

the tyre. To disengage the dynamo it is tilted back in its initial position where

it locks in place.

Engage the bottle dynamo only while stationary and make sure

it keeps clear of the spokes! Caution: In wet conditions the dy-

namo may be less effective.

12.2 Hub Dynamo

Hub dynamos (c) are built into the hub of the front wheel. They are virtually

non-wearing and extremely effective. Some models are switched on elec-

tronically, some others mechanically. Hub dynamos are either engaged by a

lever at the handlebars or directly at the front lamp. Other models offer the

comfort of being switched on and off automatically by means of a sensor.

In case you need more information on your lighting, contact

your bicycle dealer.

12.3 Troubleshooting

After punctures the second most common malfunction is lighting failure.

First inspect the front and rear light bulbs. Check whether the filaments are

intact. Bulbs with a black tint are a sure indication of a defect.

On road racing bicycles fitted with battery-powered lighting (d)

a failure is usually due to flat batteries. Therefore, check the

charge state of the batteries at regular intervals or take replace-

ments with you.

Check the contacts and the sockets in the lamp housings of the front and

rear lights (a+b). White or greenish stains are a sign of corrosion. Remove

the corrosion layer with a screwdriver, emery cloth or the like until the con-

tact surfaces are shiny again.

If your bicycle is fitted with a dynamo lighting, inspect the cables along their

entire length and check them for defects. Check all contact points. Pin and

socket connectors tend to corrode if exposed to salt and rain. Take the con-

nectors apart and stick them together again.

If you still cannot find the cause of the trouble, try supplying the current using

a battery (4.5 volt battery). If the lamps light up, the dynamo itself might be

the cause of the trouble.

If the lamps do not light up, move the battery closer to the lamps step by

step looking out for the moment when a current starts to flow. If that still

does not help, contact your bicycle dealer.

An incomplete or inoperative set of lights is not only against

the law, it is also a hazard to your life. Cyclists riding in the dark

without a light are liable to be overlooked and at risk of getting

involved in serious accidents!
