So I have an awesome Busch-Muller light ... hub generator.
Now, from first installation it's gone from bright to not so bright and back and forth on bumpy roads, so I thought... one of my connections isn't right. When I installed it first time I accidentally did lots of ferocious soldering for a solid connection... tot he connections for the rear light. I just pulled 'em off and stuck them onto the front light when I realized ... that mattered.
Welp, on last night's ride home -- it just wasn't charging or connecting. So I thought... something has gotten yanked...
Tonight, with flashlight in mouth for backup, I noticed that ... it would connect and light up *only* when I hit bumps! Fortunately the one darker part of my commute is a bumpy road... never have I been aiming my tires at manholes and potholes but ... that's what lights the thing up!
Banging on the light didn't affect it so ... I'm afraid it's the stuff in the hub that needs whacking...
