Anyone shed some light on what I've done wrong here, if anything:
Connecting hub and lights up on the bike I'm building up for my gf's birthday. Supernova Infinity S hub connected to B&M Lumotec IQ headlight, all working fine. Try to connect the rear light (B&M topline rack mounted one). Wire to short so I solder a little extension of wire on to existing run of cable from the headlight, which has two spade connectors already heatshrunk in place.
Do an admittedly quite bad job of the soldering and connect it all up to test and nothing. Disconnect the rear lights and now the headlight isn't working at all. Doesn't seem to be creating any drag in the hub when connected. Nothing seems to change this. Have disconnected and reconnected, checked the cabling, nothing seems amiss but the light just won't come on. Hub still works with a different light so that hasn't died at least.
What could I have done to fuck the headlight so badly? Thought I was reasonably confident with dynamo stuff but this has driven me up the wall

They were from wrapdirect.com. Very easy to stick on, they are just thin adhesive vinyl that you peel the backing sheet off and then apply. They do cheap samples if you want to get a small size to try our first

Following up from my last post, I ordered some samples and have done a couple of test strips to see how they look/stick to the frame. Pretty happy with the outcome. Think I'm going to decide on a pink and a green and do a big block on each of the two main tubes, then put some transparent frame protection tape over them to make them last a bit longer. Hope she's happy with the outcome!

Is fitting a front rack to a carbon fork a terrible idea? Asking for a friend

Looking for a titanium rear rack for a bike I'm building for my gf. Frame is rim brake so narrower racks would work. Please let me know if you have anything suitable. Ta

Ah go on then

Not sure if there's a more appropriate thread for this. I've picked up a titanium bike as a gift for my gf for her birthday, and I'm considering making some alterations to it. Mainly to try and disguise the branding to deter thieves (as it'll be her everyday commuter), but also I think she'd prefer a bit of colour to the raw ti finish. Rather than powder coating I was thinking of getting some sort of coloured adhesive vinyl(?) to go around the three main tubes of the frame. Would be less permanent that powder coating as would give the option to remove further down the line if needed.
Anyone have any suggestions of where to look for such a thing, if it exists? Or is there something else I should be looking for? Thanks
Anyone selling a decent front light? IQ-XS or similar. Somehow fried my front and rear light, in an expensive piece of failed rewiring 🥲
