Upgrading the 700X

To make the 700X a more perfect holiday touring bike, it still needed a head light. It's not that I always ride at night while on holiday, but since we never leave home for holiday when the days are the longest, I want to able to ride my bike anytime anywhere.

So I ordered a Shimano DH-3D72 hub dynamo and put it together with a B&M IQ FLY headlight on the bike. The hub is on XT level so it should outlast the bike even without even noticing it's there. I had the IQ FLY headlight lying around in the garage but is a very good LED-head light with a start/stop function. I'll spend another holiday in Germany next month again and will be taking the 700X with me. Let's hope the weather'll be nice !
