    I like your stickers, the Suntour on my forks is looking a bit tired now, where did you get your stickers?

    Lights again

    Good find, thanks I'll see if this can be worked into the lighting controls. A blink mode is better than a canstant beam if you just want to be noticed by other road users. That said, a high intensity beam that's also blinks, might not allow you to adjust to the brightness. The dimmer part of...

    If there is a button it will be in the heat shrinked package, which i have not opened. There is nothing like you would expect, if this were a controllable feature.

Or its a project bike which the...

    Lights again

    Well this idea of beam is relative. There isn't that much of a beam so much as wide spread of light. see the pics in the ebay link. One of those pics shows the bike's light next to a car's. The cyclist compared to a driver sits quite high up, ditto those lights which when compared to a typical...

    Lights again

    Now i am stuck with how to reduce the lighting for normal riding.o_O Judging by the ebay spec sheet, the leds are BrigeLux 45mil chip, which means each led takes about 3v. Which suggest with a 12v input, that they are being wired in series. If they were wired in parallel i could remove 1 or 2...

    Lights again

    I spotted this on ebay with specs. It seems to be the same light at a much higher price, although they refer to a strobe mode which i can't figure out...

    Lights again

    Yes. I am also thinking about the effects of bright lights to on coming traffic in the rain. Its one thing to sell these things based on their lux per buck, but i wonder where the end users stand legally. Maybe there should be a catagory of lighting refered to as 'off road' 'lighting, with an...

    Lights again

    Well the experiment worked, and I now have the guts of this new lamp housed inside my existing headlight. Wow its bright! Compared to my old light its almost .... too bright? I know with cars there would be rules on how bright headlamps can be, and rules governing the correct position for those...

    New Danny Macaskill video

    Of course its all CGI and fancy edits. Strange how you don't see the helicopter or the cameraman in the boat, or the host of lackies prepping the tracks and brushing down the rocks.

    You'll love this 30 mph bike

    Looks like Sir Clive Sinclair had the right idea about electric bikes after all.

    The only thing on the the board is JL L3575 . I've tried to google this but so far no results on specs.

    Btw , that's one of those tiny new 5p's as reference, and the circuit inside is quite small.

    Lights again

    I've uploaded a few photos showing what you get for your money. There are the 4 light emiters mounted on a single round metal plate, and then there's the volatage control circuit inside the main aluminium housing. The heat sink must be a requirement, i guess. Although my present headlamp with...

    Lights again

    As quoted in my reply, http://www.banggood.com/Motorcycle-...adlights-Modification-Spotlight-p-919876.html Great price for a good reason, the mount is a bit shite. However the circuit is small enough to fit another housing.

    Lights again

    I've just recieved the light listed above, which is very bright when connected directly to my battery. I am thinking of taking it apart and putting the key componants inside my existing plastic headlight case. Does anyone know if these lights really need the aluminium heat sink? It comes with...

    Lockable Dust Caps?

    Have you ever had one of those days, someone at work resents your electrified ride and decides 'just for a joke' to let the air down and bend the tube vales to prevent you reinflating? Or someone new to the bike shed decides to introduce himself by letting down your tires for sport. Well here's...
