A few people expressed an interest in having Ay-Ups modified by Troutie last year. Did anyone have this done? What did you think? I've just been out "lummened" but don't want to splash out on new lights.
If Troutie is about, is this still a service you offer?
Cheers.
If you have an older system, Ay-Up will upgrade it http://www.ayup-lights.com/products/categories/12/ and the cost is pretty reasonable IMO. They only do so many systems per week, though.
Of course, if you have the current version or want it even brighter, you'd need to have someone else work on it.
Troutie does indeed still do upgrades to Ayups doing one today
and just posted 2 back yesterday .
hmmmm tell me more, older ayups here too
Troutie, YHM
Mine he did as his first go at it are still working strong.
I flogged them to a mate who still uses them every week after I bought his Bastid light
What does it involve?
Does it affect the battery life?
How much does it cost?
Hi Troutie - any news on my Passubio?
No idea on how it effects battery life but not had any complaints from users .
it involves removal of the leds and optics and replacement with XPG leds and reflectors plus a front lexan cover .
I only do the one reflector and it makes a spottier beam

cheers 
Troutie, emailed you a while back asking to buying a couple of XML leds off you, could you let me know how much inc postage & I'll fire a paypal payment to you if thats OK, is the email in profile your paypal?
Troutie,
How much do you charge for the mod?
I just tried to send you an email and it failed.
trout any luck with the maxx d yet
Why do light manufacturers make handlebar mounts because when you're climbing and pulling on the bars the light is all over the place. Why not make an adjustable stem mount?
Dan
got it in my hands at the moment
cant get the bugger open need a bigger hammer
Ooo will be interesting the outcome with the maxx d, let me know what you find and if upgrade is possible
Ooooh what you doing to the MaxxD?
After a mate getting a fancy smudge light i'm sorely tempted to send my ay-ups off too. The batteries are going back to Oz under warranty anyway (cable sheath split at the battery end). only problem is with only on/off they could be too bright when climbing!
