Hi guys,
looking for test riders to test my new LED bike light, these are made for 24hr racing & endurance type riding...

The higher up the racing ladder you are the cheaper it would be for you...

I would test a set Im not an 24hr specific rider but race all the nps,midlands and welsh xc races? Im pretty experienced too.
And testing in peaks (where i live could prove usability of light in extreme locations?
thanks

Are those not, by nature, day time events!?

Which light is it you want testing? There seem to be lots listed as *AUSTRALIA ONLY*?

Hey guys,

Trout, you know it!! 7up ready eh??

everyone please contact me for details, but basically I am looking for exposure at races, for ranked riders, so if you are a top 10 finisher @ big events you could get 50% or more discount on your lights...top 20 30% or more...ect

There is only one light HEAD, the options are for battery options, as Australia post has banned the shipping of lithium batterys FROM Australia, the light kit that comes with battery kits are for Australia, you will get batterys shipped from the US for overseas customers...or Maybe UK, any of trouties batts will work if 14.4v...

hope this helps clear things up...

Tell me more about the lights.

I can't quite tell whether or not you get a proper encased battery, or one of those holders for a few standard AA batteries. How's the waterproofing?

Might well be interested.

(If it helps- spokes racing team- 1st Dawn Raid 12hr, 1st Hit the North 12 hour, 2nd Relentless 24hr 2008, 3rd Relentless 24hr 2009, 3rd Strathpuffer 24hr 2009)

Sorry to be so cynical, but it it just me that sees this thread as a thinly veiled sales pitch?

Superstar,

thanks for your interest, its guys like you I am looking for...

my website (built by me) is a work in progress, so not many pics of the battery's I have been testing, (too busy building lights) so far I have been running those 18650 lithium battery holders (not AA) you see, wrapped in plastic then bagged in neoprene & mounted or in a short 'tool bottle' that fits in your cage... but as I can't send battery's OS, I am sorting battery's abroad & have been supplying RC lithium packs to customers... but really, battery's is easy to sort & waterproof...getting a lite, bright head unit, is the hard thing for most...

I start dive testing my light to see how far it will go down...so a bit of UK rain should not hurt it... 😉

Peterpoddy, oh how cynical you are... 🙂

Mate, 50% off is my total cost price, to me that's not a sale, its a give away...so its a thinly veiled give away pitch where I make no profit & some fast dude gets some really good lights, dirt cheap...& I get more test results, if that makes me a bad man, then so be it.

I am after exposure & testing @ races...but as I am only a one man show, I can't give them away, so selling some at cost to top 10ers, is the best I can do...

hope that clear things up for you...

K

Hey Guys for what it is worth Kerry is a similar setup as myself only he knows a whole lot more than I do about electronics .
He is a good guy
and his light is a good product and well made .

kerry the 7up should go to the anodizers this week so hopefully be able to mail one out very soon .

If it helps on the battery front I am sure smudge can do some packs and chargers to suit your Klite
his standard 4 cell is a great battery .

Top ten riders? You don't want me then 🙁

Seriously if you can get one to the 'puffer there cannot be a better test.
