    Mainly for winter road rides…
    Im after a helmet mounted torch light thats not a real cheapy zoomable cree torch. That preferably fits in the jostick helmet mount.

    Moon on stick might work…

    deal extreme do one. Ultrafire (something) I think it’s called. I had one for a while. Just about bright enough for a helmet light.

    it’s not far off a joystick to be fair. I have a few exposures now but mainly because they are easier to recharge/live with.

    Gemini xera flashlight fits the mount. Good little light and batteries are easy to change out on the trail.

    If not a cheapy torch, a slightly more expensive one? Joystick mount is fantastic, my £5 torch fits nicely in one and apart from a little extra weight it’s better than any joystick I’ve used or seen.

    Ive got some good quality 18652 batteries.. Its just the cheap torches ive bought tend to fail on the switches and have questionable waterproofness…

    There were lezyne power drives on ebay for 30quid last week, 600 lumens. I bought one to compliment a more powerful light – very good

    Exposure joystick from Rutland cycling?

    Been using mine for the evening club rides on road for the last few weeks, I think I need a rear light to blind people, seems to be the norm

    What torch please NW?

    Just a generic XML single 18650 number, might be this one:

    I had to retighten the switch at one point but it’s been fine otherwise, for a couple of years now

    Lezyne do a USB rechargeable one with built in rear light. The helmet mount is as good as the exposure one. Macro duo?

    +1 for Lezyne
    Got mine free with an mbuk sub last year and it’s been excellent
    Bit fatter than my joystick though so I bought a separate mount (only £3.99)
