    Traffic light phase duration too short.

    The duration of the traffic lights seems inadequately short at a local T-Junction that's uphill, I believe this is technically termed the "Intergreen Period". Occasionally, when I ride over this hump backed bridge from these lights, the vehicles at the other side of the T-Junction have started...

    Smart 500 Lumen Front Light

    Very reliable. Been used for the last 2 years, but very sparingly as this was always a back-up light anyway. USB chargeable and comes with handlebar attachment. 3 modes - claimed run times are 4.5hr @250lm, 2.5hr@500lm, 25hr flashing Open to offers. Cheers.

    Rear light for seat stay mounting

    Anyone recommend me a decent, as in bright in daylight, rear light that includes fittings that allow it to be mounted on the seat stay NOT the seat post, please?

    Light surface rust to chrome forks

    Vinegar or gel bath, or can anyone suggest anything else? As I've never really got to grips with making much of an effort with metal rot.

    Exposure Light Fork Crown Mount

    I'd like an Exposure dynamo light but need it off the handle bars. I would like it mounted to the crown of the fork. Someone has bodged it (below) but hoping for something a little slicker/direct. There is also the generic fork crown light mount but I think that will take it too high, plus...

    light surface rust on front suss stanchions

    Hi all, as per the title I have a very light patch of surface rust showing on the stanchions of a mtb fork. What would be the best way to go about removal? I assume I don't want much abrasion so as not to cause scratches.

    I dont do Strava, just the speed of light

    I'm not very fast. No point using strava, the speed of light is more accurate. I've timed it myself, it takes me between 80-90 minutes to cycle home from work (about 15miles). This is approximately the same time it takes a photon of light to escape the surface of the sun and arrive at Saturday...

    Frameset recommendations - 1 very light and one with rack and mudguard bosses please under £400

    Hi, as title really. Not really fussed about brand or colour. It's a toss up between which one I'll go for and if honest my preference is to get one with bosses to turn into a tourer. And if I go for that I'd prefer one disc compatible as it just makes more sense when carrying 20KG - big ask I...

    Bontrager Ion 700 R USB (or suggestions for rechargeable front lights around £80 mark)

    My Hope front light has always been a bit hit 'n' miss as to whether it will work in high power mode, and somewhat unreliable in general, so I'm looking to replace it with a USB rechargeable front light. I've looked at a few and the Bontrager Ion 700 R USB Front Light seems to do well in...

    Lezyne light found in Richmond Park

    If you lost a Lezyne light in RP this weekend, message me with a link to the model you lost, and rough time, date and location within the park where you think you lost it. It was lying on the road, but hadn't been run over yet, so it hadn't been there long. If the owner is identified, they can...

    Secondary Light Placement/Setup

    With my main lights positioned in the standard places, front bars and seatpost, where would be the best place to put the second set of front/rear lights? Also what is your preferred light modes if you run dual front and rear lights (steady/flashing) and where should they be? Thanks.

    Carrying spare light batteries on the bike

    Having spent my formative years in the dynamo/pea bulb era, I think LED lights are the best thing since sliced bread. But I've been caught out a couple of times as you don't get much warning when the AAs are about to give out. If I remember to, I take a couple of spares on night rides (same...

    Do you use your lights in the day light hours

    I was just wondering how many members here use the bike lights in the day light. I certainly do because it just makes you stand out that little better. After all motorcyclist,s do as many cars too. I have a set of Cob lights from Aldi and they are very bright and noticeable and day light. I use...

    Front light

    I seem to destroy these things! I invested in a Lezyne Macro drive 800XL a few months back but the battery seems knackered already, it's barely holding a charge for a 1hr ride before needing a charge. I have lost the receipt as well so doubt I can get a refund from Halfords, I have turned the...

    New bike light

    Lezyne Micro Drive 400XL Front Light Y9. I've bought this off Wiggle for £23.99 reduced from £39.99 as my lights are not that great and it was really foggy today so I thought I'd treat myself. Anybody else got one and think its o.k?

    Just seen a mate's entry on facebook. He's a cyclist, too, and is spending his winter in Goa (India) and I'll be meeting up with him in January.

    Front light with remote: Magicshine MJ-902? Helmet light too?

    I'm looking to invest in a 'high beam' light for my unlit rural commute to complement my dynamo setup, but I'd like something with a remote switch that lets me switch on/off without reaching for the headlight itself and without looping through all the different modes... It looks to me like the...

    Hi Viz Vest & light set

    Just been informed by a colleague that at Hull Cycle Hub in the station they are giving away free cycle safety packs, which include a hi viz vest, light set & valve lights. Probably not top end stuff but its free :okay: Apparently they are paid for with money raised on speed awareness courses...
