  • It’s 16A or nearly 4kW so it’ll be fine.

    Here’s mine. In town (prosperous South). If I pay more for fibre I get 11Mb apparently.

    An oldie from 2002. Still the nicest bridge of them all…

    14 in series (48 Volts) and 5 of those strings in parallel = 70 batteries.

    33 probably means 3.3 Amp hour etc

    30 would mean lower Amp hour, but higher rated current.

    22 sounds pretty basic.

    My Speedplay Frog pedals use one metric and one imperial bearing!

    “Recreational benefits should not override ecological sensitivity”

    Phew, false alarm. Get out and ride.

    They make the National Trust look like a pro cycling pressure group. From what I’ve seen they have an unwritten no cycling policy.

    More candles, lots of tut-tutting, then business as usual until the next one….

    I’d love a new tumble dryer, but you try getting a condenser one built in (integrated). No chance.

    Quite often have them at a decent price on SP

    That was my main reason for asking. New stuff in.

    2.8 is awesome.

    To answer the above:

    Yes, I can do a battery pack for Solarstorm, assuming it is the 8.4V charger. This is a 7 Amp/Hour pack, which is as good as it gets.
    £50 plus £7 post.

    Here is the beam comparison I did the other night. Same 1 sec F4 ISO 200 exposure for all. The right hand side is a Lumicycle explorer on Hi beam (not Boost as that’s only a short term setting)

    Hi, got the order thanks.
    Sorry, the photos do not make things clear (I need to get Cyclorise to sort this)
    I can supply with a GoPro fitting for 31.8mm bar if you want. The ‘rubber band’ is the normal arrangement.

    About as south as it gets. Poole.

    I am Daylight Dave (Facebook name as well).
    Chinese imported lampheads that means I can select the best Cree stuff, top spec battery packs made by me, battery bags made locally by a mate, and chargers that actually contain fuses and don’t explode.

    Just remember that light will slip on the bars if using the rubber band type fitting.

    Ebay is a waste of time for latest tech. Alibaba is the best alternative.

    My lamp is quite a decent spot for helmet mount, not too bad for side illumination too.

    Anyway, here is a quick lashup…

    The lamp is about the same size as the Wilma. More chunky as it uses a big reflector and more metal than a solarstorm due to the heat. Needs four decent batteries (20700’s not 18650’s) and a wire to your Camelback as it would be too heavy to mount the lot on your lid.
    I reckon £150 should cover it. All a bit new to the market so I’m in the process of doing some beam shots vs Lumicycle Explorer. Daylight Dave on Facebook.

    I currently make a bar mounted system using a CREE XHP70.2 LED which certainly matches the Wilma for 3000+ Lumens.
    The lamp unit I buy in from China, but I make up my own battery pack with top spec cells.
    Should be easy enough to fit the GoPro mountings for helmet, and it would cost a lot less than £400.

    A34, M40, M42(N), A5, A38 to M1 via Derby, A1, A66.
    Getting round Derby might slow you down a bit, but it’s better than crawling in 2nd gear up the M6 from B’ham to Preston.

    I’ll admit it does need a decent photo showing the intended mounting position. Also some beam shots. I’ll get that done soon.

    What I do with the Trailscorcher2 is buy the lamp only, trim the cable, then drill and tap the GoPro fittings. Battery pack I make myself – without the best 3500mA cells, I would not get a guaranteed performance. I find that two cells is the limit for decent weight distribution. It’s also double the power of the Diablo.

    I am biased in that I make these for Cyclorise. Sold loads locally as folks realise its got the best lumen/ weight/ burn time ratio out there.

    The Highway Code is not the law, so the only thing they could do you for is dangerous cycling.

    Tell him to write a stern letter to the editor of the Daily Mail.

    Just got a Magic Mary 2.8 for the front to keep me vertical in winter. Sidewall is typical Schwalbe thickness so we’ll see what fails first.
    Slam 69 have them BTW.

    Even worse is building a trail, naming it on Strava, then some ‘swine’ names a slightly longer track that uses yours.

    “Liverpool Care Pathway” and “The Naughty Step” is the limit of my originality for inventing new routes on Strava.

    No contest IMO. 18 years old but the visual effects are still astonishing.

    I make these for Cyclorise. I import the lamp head on its own so I pick the best LEDs I can get my hands on, then assemble the batteries myself using the 3500mA ones from Panasonic etc. Charger is ‘legal’ as well.
    I think the power to weight ratio beats anything including Exposure and Lupine. Sold loads locally, basically anything made goes out the door the same day almost.

    It’s on Sunday. Looks like we’ll get away with a dry day.

    Give me Swinley any day.

    Sounds like a good idea to me.

    I remember when you could buy a 13A socket and lead that plugged into a bayonet socket i.e no earth. Totally illegal these days.
    Also 3 way 13A adaptors without fuse. In theory 39A from one wall socket.

    My Alfa has never seen a main dealer from new in 1999. 165,000 miles later, all is good.

    Only two weeks away and the course is drying out nicely. Just need to ride the route with my battery hedgetrimmer and all will be fine I’m sure.

    This one has been around a bit. Still the best.

    Its about time this sort of thing was outlawed together with pay & display.
    Replace with a barrier system if unauthorised parking is that much of a problem.

    Slaughterhouse Combe is a must do. Note the trail split at the top – right for the conventional way down, left for the steep stuff.

    Dorset Rough Riders

    Rides every day, plus a group meet at the Claypipe BH16 6JY 7pm Wednesdays for an intensive singletrack session in Gore Heath.

    Skills sessions on Monday nights.

    Remember back in the 90s when they bought the Mar Lodge estate with the help of lottery money, then tried to ban bikes on the path from Linn of Dee to Feshie?
