Out-riding the Black Dog
I have pre-purchased a Dynamo hub powered USB charger from Igaro. I have been sitting on my hands for this little piece of magic for my audax bike for an age. Finally it’s here.
In my excitement I have been reading up their owners’ manual so I have an inkling of what I am doing before I set it up. I think it’s all pretty straight forward. However, this paragraph doesn’t sit well with my comprehension skills. I have minimal soldering experience so it’s MY BOLD that I am stuck on. Can you help?
From their owners’ manual:
Schmitt SON Hub Connection
4.8mm spade connectors featuring a piggyback tab (for lights) are provided. Slot the two medium pieces of heat-shrink over the bare wire, place the wire into the connector so that the bare metal is just coming out at the top and crimp in place. Position the connector pointing upwards so that molten solder will run towards the ground and then solder the bare wire to the connector. Slot the heat-shrink over the connector and heat into place.
