i acted like a "damsel-in-distress" again yesterday... pedalled my bicycle to BicycleWorks and got help to fix my back light... the new bulb didn't solve the problem... there was still no light when the front wheel was set in motion to work the dynamo... lots of fiddly-tweeking ensued... it's good to learn tricks from the experts. i didn't know there's an 'earth' from the lamp that's usually connected to the metal frame/mud-guards... i mean it makes perfect sense to have one... imagine you and your bike would get high on electric charges while cycling in the dark! it wouldn't be too funny as it may sound.... no no no... moreover there won't be any light which probably explains why the old blub looked so terrible...
anyways, after a bit of losening bolts and cleaning some gunk... and tightening the bolt that attaches the back lamp to the mud-guard of the back tire and re-connecting bits of wires... wayhey!
i really need to give my bike the works... i need to prolong its life... mayyeeee!!!
