    Bright Headlight for Winter - Recommendations?

    How many of these did you have back in late 70s/80s? I had most of them I think, cannot find a pic of the massive big square red rear light, had that too, new ones every year for Christmas as they broke, Ever Ready must've made a killing...

    Nice idea if you are out in bad weather, I still panic if the rain comes on as no mudguards.

    You are corrupting me with these daft prices...! Can you charge it up/power it with USB when it is switched on or does it switch itself off under charge? Not a big deal but might become one when the cheapo cells wear out? Laser pointing capability! Oooh, the cat will like that....!

    It sounds like you want a FPV drone not a video drone. The Atom is a GPS video drone meaning you need a GPS lock of at least 12 satellites, you can fly it indoors but only if well light and under 12ft else ToF is likely to put drone from OPTI mode to ATTI mode and you crash... ToF is also partly...

    The strobe has a button to change the colour and mode, white is brightest but you can also use red/green/blue and choose on/slow flash/fast flash. So white on front and buy another for rear if red is bright enough. It doesn't look particularly water proof but you're not flying a drone in the...

    Might be an idea, I've run out of space though on handlebars so that's holding me up on ordering, maybe I can get a small extension or something.

    I'm active in a drone forum and a few of the guys there use Vifly strobes on their drones and they are bloody bright, I mean incredibly bright, you cannot really tell from the video. Stick one or more of these on your bike and/or person and people will see coming from hundreds of feet away...

    Sounds very nasty, seems to be luck of draw then you crash, I got lucky last week however fell off my bike stationary outside my flat 18months ago and whole upper body went black and blue....go figure... I have the ubiquitous small round LED lights on bike, in darkness with no other light...

    Ebike help

    Well, he posted here so all these ebike 'fires' he's read about (or his mum has), have at least educated him to ask the question! Surely a win!?

    I came of my bike last Thursday around 11pm in Cambridge St off Sauchiehall St, they've been messing with bike lanes there for yrs now, redid it at least once and now it's all dug up again...nuts...dread to think of the millions wasted on that area. Not great light there at night and hit a...

    Bright Headlight for Winter - Recommendations?

    Have decided to just go with USB 5V and not bother using 52V for an easy life. Looking at this one, only concern is the batteries seem cheap and don't keep charge. So here's a question, not clear from the blurb, can these lights be charged with 5V USB when you are using them or like a lot of...

    Gear Puller for Rear Hub - What Size?

    My rear hub is approx 24cm in diameter = 9.5 inches, can I use a 8inch gear puller (pictured) or does the inches they are quoted as mean the max diameter they open to? Does anyone here have a gear puller that would fit that size of hub (1500W), if so what size is it? thanks

    I should've said majority are all 5V, I have USB on bike but also have 52V, most seem to recommend just going USB power, has anyone here tried 36/48/52V headlights?

    Bright Headlight for Winter - Recommendations?

    Weather has been very good for time of year, been out on bike way more than I thought in dark, the headlight I have is rubbish and so dangerous so been looking past couple of days for a more powerful front lamp. Mostly they seem to be LED arrays and make all sorts of claims about how bright...

    Repurposed vapes

    Suppose the problem is though 99% of people who attempt this would just gaffa tape them together with no spacing and wire the S and P using unsuitable AWG wire rather than busbar etc. I was out on ebike earlier, there was delivery dude at co-op with a heavy duty gaffa taped massive triangle...
