For this one Skinny set a long exposure and got me to ride back up the trail, leaving a bight line of exposure as the light moves up the trail
Cheap Helmet Light
CREE Q5 LED 300 LM 7W Headlamp available on eBay for $16 delivered.
Was able to modify to fit on helmet by removing the strap and attaching with velcro. Makes a great zoom-able spot light. Uses 3 AAA batteries in a separate battery pack. Runs for more than 2 hours on high using rechargeable NiMH batteries.
Allround tyres
I used to ride to work with semi slick tyres (Maxxis Overdrives) on my hardtail and these were pretty good in term of weight, rolling resistance, puncture resistance and they held up well on wet and slippery pavement corners.
The problem I have is that I want to ride offroad also eg on the weekends and not have to change tyres all the time and I don't have the money to buy another lightweight wheelset with matching XT disc rotors and cassette so I can have one set with slicks and one with knobblies.
Lights Again.... I know.... I know...
Hey guys, I know this topic comes and goes all the time and some people might be tired of it, but I need some insight. I want to get some kind of lighting system for my bike in order to be able to go to night rides, but since I’ve just bought a new and expensive bike, my treasurer/better half/CFO cut my bike funding to a bare minimum so I got to get something that is really value for money. I was thinking of Ay Up (www.ayup.com.au) as you can put a simple system for $180~200 with 2 3w LEDs. Has anyone used or at least seen one of those up close?
Cheers,
Leo.
