“on a highjack note, my Cateye triple shot i use on the road bike seems to have given up working, seems batteries wont hold a charge, any ideas how i can fix that?”
I used to have a Triple Shot, the batteries are just standard AA recharables. When I took the battery pack apart there is basically some kind of driver attached to the batteries.
So in theory you could get a load of AA’s, can’t recall if its 10 or 12 and put them in battery holders, wire them to the driver thing and your away again. You would have to use a bottle or some thing I guess to put the battery holders in to.
The other alternative is that troutie could convert the light head itself from approx 300 lumens to I think its about 1800 lumens, but you would also need a new battery pack too (AA’s couldn’t power it)
