Is this currently the brightest bike light - 2600 Lumens!
Does anyone know if there is a claim for a brighter light than this on the market today? (Darkness Dominator - http://www.troutie.com/Products/Detail/Darkness-... )
I own a Trout Light 7 UP light (now discontinued) - 1,700 Lumens and that is bright but 2,600 Lumens. That's very bright! Is there a limit to how much light one needs when riding...mmmmm? What is the ideal trade-off between light output, battery endurance and weight/size? Any thoughts? Comment? Opinions?
Specification for this beast:
Leds Cree XML U2
Output boost 2600 lumens measured
Output High 1000 lumens
Lights - Suggestions
What's a good light kit suitable for riding in the bush at night for around $300 - are there any? Just can't justify the $500 or so for a new set of ayup's but really want to do some night riding - damn Perth & their no daylight savings rubbish.
Any help will be appreciated - see my note in the wanted classifieds if you've got any
Cheers,
Phil

GPS Bike Computer Advice
I'm going to ask Santa for a GPS bike computer, and am interested in opinions on the best make / model to get. I don't need maps, just stats and HR. I know Garmins are popular, and I've read good things about Bryton. Anyone have any advice for me? I mean for Santa?

Garmin Edge GPS suggestions??
Hi everyone!
I'm on the market for a new GPS and I think the best option (with a budget less than $350) is the Garmin Edge 500 or 705. Any comments, advise, stories (good or bads), etc..

Turn anything into a speaker? How about your helmet?
Now I'm not one for having earphones in when riding - I like to have all my senses available when riding, but... I saw this and thought it might make a nice alternative to add some background music to your ride by sticking it to your helmet. Could be something in it?
