USB (re)charging
Since, because, and while everything in today's world is USB chargeable, I finally got around to enhance my wife's Skyteam with something suitable.
And because I'm dead cheap, I went for the lowest cost I could. I got me one of these: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/T2N2-...329339749.html And one of these: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-...880898054.html Converter was reduced when I bought it, and it did cost me only $5.30 (incl. shipping  ) Dust caps are 10pcs in the set, but my bag had 11! Yupee!!! Anyway, I connected the converter through a fuse directly to the battery and routed the USB plugs under the handle bar (we don't want to ruin the aesthetics of my lady's bike now, do we?):       Everything works for now. Plugs do not fall due to vibrations. Little but useful extra

Neat idea. I've never bought from Ali Express before; have you had any problems due to paying by credit card?
