Freaking light saber
testing lights and stuff
Myself, Phil and Mick met up with Joe and Harold for a blast on the Mt York convict trails.
It was a nice night and as we plodded up Berghoffers it didn't take long for me to start unzipping the windstopper vest.
By the top I was ready to peal the vest and outer jersey off and noticed Joe was already down to a tee shirt.
It's been a while since we've done Mt York and Lockyers would have to be my all time favourate trrail. It has a little bit if every thing and a whole lot of fun.
ayup vs magicshine?
i already have custom lights which i'm very happy with and have a custom helmet mount and just like to keep them on my helmet. I use my first generation ayup lights for road riding but find they're not quite bright enough when going at speed along dark roads. I've been looking at getting some magicshine's for my bars but seeing as i've got 5 ayup batteries and bar mounts on all my bikes plus head straps for camping i was toying with the idea of just upgrading the ayup itself to the current model. Anyone got any info on how much brighter the new models are compared to the old ones?

Deal Extreme Torches
Someone was recently asking about DIY lights, cheaper options than Ay-Up, etc, etc.
Well - if you can't build your own but want that cheaper option there are various Cree powered torches floating around at very reasonable prices. There's an interesting post on MTBR about Deal Extreme gear for example:

Although DX appears to have some quality issues you cannot argue with their prices.
The TR-801 can be had with a Q5 Cree ($17.52):
Tassie Trail
Hi,
I'm looking for some advice on best kit to buy for a trip I'm planning to the Tassie Trail. What is best type of bag for carrying kit, a back pack or under seat bag, I'm going light and have looked at the Carraidice SQR Trax, but all the MTB riders appear to use backpacks. Is this because of weight distribution? Any advice on this for a long ride?
Also what is the best head light to use for night rides?
Lastly has anyone done a ride like this (480KM's) and what sort of preperation did they do to get cycle fit for 6-7 days full riding?
Cheers
Hemsy
Triple cree kit
Thinking of ordering the triple cree light kit from cutter and wondering if anyone can offer advice on the best optics, ie narrow or medium, which is the better driver, what is the optimum battery size and whether it works best as a helmet or bar mount.
Any advice would be apreciated
Bike lights - Bflex menu issues
I am having trouble accessing the setup menu on the Taskled Bflex.
The three clicks toggles between the high and low light settings but I cant seem to get the right sequence to enter the menu.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
