Rose Bikes cheerfully replaced but I still have the original and short of smashing have been unable to determine a way to prise the lens off to access the PCB for repair. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17935#post-255200 Sun, 16 Jul 2017 16:55:10 +0000 wee folding bike 255200@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I know, you can do that with Brompton's own one, but B&amp;M don't appear to be screwed together. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17935#post-255199 Sun, 16 Jul 2017 16:41:08 +0000 Roibeard 255199@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@WFB - It may be the folding action contributing to failure, jarring the light on parking and again on unfolding.</p> <p>There is a large capacitor in mine, that broke free, however this could be soldered back in place, with a jumper of wire to add a bit of flex to the system.</p> <p>Seems to have held...</p> <p>Robert </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17935#post-255198 Sun, 16 Jul 2017 15:36:16 +0000 wee folding bike 255198@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I can usually break a rear light in under a year on a Brompton. I think there is more vibration than on bigger wheels.</p> <p>I've had a couple of bikes with Schmidt rear lights for more than a year and a half and they both still work fine.</p> <p>The light doesn't have a reflector so you need to fit a separate one or it's not legal. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17935#post-255189 Sun, 16 Jul 2017 10:38:55 +0000 wingpig 255189@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Happy with my mudguard-mounted Seculites Plus. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17935#post-255187 Sun, 16 Jul 2017 10:28:44 +0000 Darkerside 255187@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The recumbent has a happy combination of two B&amp;M linetec rear lights; one dynamo, one battery. However, I want to remove the rack, so need something different. </p> <p>Anyone used the secula? Brightness comparison, etc? The linetec is at the lower limit of brightness that I feel happy with in bad weather.</p> <p>I see Schmidt also have a rear light available, which is very spendy but looks neat.</p> <p>Thoughts? </p>
