    Where's the battery?

    I've marked where it is - in spot the ball style. It must be there, the give away is the misshaped downtube. Did I win?

    How long have you had your bike for?

    If you are worried about heavy rain getting into the battery then maybe look at a small rucksack waterproof cover to put over it, or even strap a carrier bag over it on the wet days.

    The new best headlight

    Thanks d8veh for the original review I'm ordering one too. Regarding the fenix lens it's interesting they have horizontal diffusings in the top part of the lens compared with the whole diffuser I use has vertical ones. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282152351559
