    I have a Nite Rider Digital Evolution I got a few years ago. It has a NiMH battery that can be recharged. I used it for commuting and it works great.

    Has anyone here tried...

    hub generators? Opinions on whether the light is bright enough when you're crawling up a hill? Bright enough to *see* on dark country roads??

    I really like the thoughts of not having to worry about charging batteries every day or every few days (I always forget). They are definately pricey - but it seems that they are very durable and would last a lot longer than the battery lights.

    hub generators

    I've not used one but the rando guys do. One of the rando riders at bikejournal.com got one last year. It took a long time to get the wheel built up with it. Seems he, Zurichman, likes it.

    Bumped the thread on the Schmidt hub generators at bikejournal for those interested.

    I've never had much luck with hub generators and I don't like the fact that there's no light unless you're moving.
