Swapping a bulb in a Schmidt Edelux II?

[Caroline Golum]

Dynamo-freaks: anyone ever replace a bulb in their Edelux II light? Mine was flickering for a while, then went totally out on my ride home last night. Checked the connection and it's plugged into the hub - but, worth noting, the hub is a recent replacement!

I would suspect the wiring and connections well before thinking the LED had burned out. Maybe clean and re-connect the wires everywhere you can? If there is a soldered connection in the wire, it may need re-doing? Good luck!

Caroline, does this mean you got your Betty back and in working order??? (Sorry this is off-topic. But I really have thought about your Betty so many times since you had the seized stem…)

[Caroline Golum]

YES! Took a long while but I finally brought my bike to Nomad Cycles in Queens and Damon was able to 1) free my seized stem, and 2) give the bike a proper tune-up in a few short days!

I'm finally riding with the customary Rivendell high stem style and I gotta say....don't know what took me so long

I’m so glad to hear this. Although, I have to tell you something crazy - I knew you were back on your bike - how ? - I live in Michigan, remember? 

Because the other day a guy I know in NYC sent me a pic. He was out riding and saw a Betty Foy in the wild. It was gray, the rider obscured from view, but I know of only one such Betty. And it belongs to the mysterious Caroline Gollum! I knew it immediately. “I know who she is!” I said. Isn’t that wild?

So, tell us about your new stem.
