Come on Morphix and Kitchenman (forget the kitchen lights) assist Lynda with the video technology so that we can all enjoy a ride though the Spanish countryside Mike

Shemozzle is correct firstly check that the connections are clean on each bulb. The next question is does each light fitting have a transformer, or do you have a number of lights being powered by a transformer/s?

Hi funkylyn Having read your post and steve.c's, I'm envious (terrible sin I know), but come on stop tempting us, buy a helmet cam and take the rest of us mere forum mortals on the ride! Mike

Thanks Flecc, I was just so stunned at a Pansonic battery for £200 I couldn't finish the sentance! Mike

Lemmy Panasonic 10a/h for £200? Where? Regards Mike

Having read the updated posts relating to Brooks saddles, I went onto their web side and saw this link to testimonials from 1937! It makes for amusing reading. I wonder if my gel saddle will still be comfortable after 100,000 miles...

Suspension forks - my BH is fitted with the Suntour NEX fork with mechanical lock out (the model down from the NCX?), I can't say that I'm that impressed with them due to the slight forward/backward play in the forks and using the bike on cycle tracks and the road I'm not actively convinced...

Which explains why the 15amp Panasonic battery size/contacts could not be compatible with the smaller ampage batteries. Again many thanks flecc. So does the Kalkhoff / BMZ(?) battery use flexible pouches, or has no one taken one to pieces yet to invalidate their warranty!

Thanks Flecc, thats just triggered my memory of a comment made in one of the dim and distant past posts that someone was having problems finding the pouch cells. Do I assume therefore that the pouch cells are specific to the particular battery chemistry used by Panasonic? Regards Mike

Without trawling through all of the posts on the matter of Panasonic drive batteries, do I assume that it is not a feasible proposition to replace the battery cells due to either cost or availability of the "correct"cells? Mike

Amigafan, the trip stats are impressive. Are you sure you were not holding onto the back of a tram??????

The bike has a Shimano dynahub, if the 60lux Philips for dynamos is purchased (which is in the product in their link), there is no need to play with any electrical connections other than deconstructing the plug onto the dynahub and inserting the wires for the Philips light. The unit works...

The Philips comes in two models a 60 lux for dynamo fitting (as in the link the OP provided) and an 80 lux which runs off 4 internal rechargeable batteries. I have bought and fitted both (to different bikes). I fitted the dynamo version to my wifes Raleigh Dover, fitting is simplicity itself...

I think I agree with Flecc, theres more chance of being hit by the car as the driver attempts to read the message.

What a nasty ill thought out junction, putting the end of the cycle lane actually on the side road (if I'm reading the road markings correctly). As in your sketch above the only safe solution for cyclists is to continue the cycle lane ahead of the side road markings. I suppose the problem is...

Accolades to Biged! By aligning the underside marks, gear changing has improved dramatically. Theres still a bit of fine tuning to do, I'm amazed how sensitive the adjustment is to just one "click" either way on the adjuster, but its working reliably enough now for my wife to go for a ride. I...

Biged# You may have just won tonights' star accolade! Will confirm tomorrow. Just like your Aguttu, the top lines were lined up, the ones underneath were not! Adjusted according to lower marks which put upper ones out, flicked between gears, checked the lower marks and they had gone out of...

Thanks Lemmy, I'll check that over. By the way really enjoyed your video of the ride along the Thames towpath. Regards Mike

Thanks all I will now change my pedalling style and continue riding the Raleigh for the next week or two to put some miles on it. If there's still a problem then it can be reported at the first (free!!!!!) service in a month or so's time. Regards Mike

All the lights identified so far appear to be basically "torches" modified to use on bikes, giving probably a concentrated beam ahead. I'll put forward another option which is roughly the price of the light you've seen. When I was looking for a headlight for both unlit country lane/cycle path...
