Felipe La RottaI have decided to drastically improve the construction and finishing of my projects. The first priority was the bicycle stereo.

Too much weight and complexity, for such simple task
The wiring looked like a home-made bomb!

Velcro is awesome to snap the music player into the frame
As you can see, the speakers are now hidden.
All the audio wiring is running through an old USB cable
If you remember the previous project, the speakers where placed “bare”, without any enclosure. Hearing decent quality sound was pure luck. Using a couple of Sony-Erickson sealed* cellphone speakers gives much better sound quality, less weight and better appearance.
* On the old project, water proofing of the speaker cone was done with transparent paint. The new cone material don’t seem to require that.
The 12V sealed acid battery was removed, now all the work must be done by the user driving the generator.
The new generator rubber wheel reduces the squeaking noise
The rest of the setup (the amplifier box) is pretty much the same, so posting it again doesn’t worth it.
Se acuerdan cuando en el 2010 era una bicicleta engallada. Estamos en el 2020 y ahora es un portaaviones. 10 años de modificaciones progresivas da para mucho.
