I have had mixed experiences to date with the Super-i-Cable, probably in part due to my expectations but also I may have a problem unit. Unfortunately I haven't had any luck getting a response out of PedalPower+ which is disappointing. My expectation was that at least at times I would get sufficient power to run my lights and also charge the PedalPower+ Super-i-Cable but that does not appear to happen (no hub light). However, my bigger concern is that the Super-i-Cable will not charge my Google Nexus S which charges fine in other contexts via a mini-usb cable. It seems that PedalPowers+ statements about smartphones and Samsung phones are not playing out with mine. Hopefully I will get it resolved soon. How is V4 going? Can you run your lights and charge at the same time for example? Andrew Another PedalPower+ owner here, but I have the PedalPower+ Super-i-Cable married to a SON 28 dynamo.

You are all doing amazingly well and just think how good 'proper' food will taste when you finish. Having now finished my single month with no alcohol it tastes so much more refined!! We will soon be in our house and preparing for the arrival of everyone. Promise to give them all a good time Al. Take care and see you before you know it! xx From a cloudy Cape Town just to let you know at last John and I have time to follow your passage.
