The downside is it takes industrial rechargable batteries which are not standard. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3722#post-39148 Wed, 24 Aug 2011 10:59:36 +0000 Roibeard 39148@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think the ones with joints have a tendency to rattle/loosen over time. I've got some high end hand torches, so decided to mount those rather than replace aging cycle lights (and to use them more!), and opted for the Two Fish lock blocks:</p> <p><a href="http://www.twofish.biz/bike.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.twofish.biz/bike.html</a></p> <p>These are velcro based and the main disadvantage is that they are at a fixed angle - parallel to the bar or perpendicular to it, so might not suit swept back bars.</p> <p>Robert </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3722#post-39147 Wed, 24 Aug 2011 10:57:20 +0000 cc 39147@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Apparently the shape of the beam from a torch may dazzle people coming the other way.

If you want a very bright cheap torch most of their 18650 torches will out shine most stuff on the road. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3722#post-39141 Wed, 24 Aug 2011 10:23:20 +0000 DaveC 39141@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>From Deal Extreme</p> <p><a href="http://www.dealextreme.com/p/universal-bicycle-mount-22mm-32-8mm-15342" rel="nofollow">http://www.dealextreme.com/p/universal-bicycle-mount-22mm-32-8mm-15342</a></p> <p>and</p> <p><a href="http://www.dealextreme.com/p/universal-bicycle-mount-8274" rel="nofollow">http://www.dealextreme.com/p/universal-bicycle-mount-8274</a></p> <p>I've ordered one (yesterday) and will report back on how long the delivery takes....</p> <p>I'm sure I keep posting this but I think our flakey browers at work keep dieing before I get round to clicking the.... ahhhhh </p>
