lights
I am interested in some lights and not being very tech orientated I’m not going to attempt to build a set. LED sounds good and I was wondering what people would recommend? LED or not, brand etc. I have a tendency to fall off so they would need to be fairly robust.
Rush Cadence Mount: With Sensor
Finished product with sensor attached.
There's really not much space between the crank and sensor. As mentioned a couple times, removing the back of the 'L' completely, where the sensor mounts would allow it to be closer to the wheel and give more room here.
Note how the small 'fold' at the end of the mount is pulled tight up against the brake host mount - same deal at the front prevents movement.
Rush Cadence Mount: In Position
The final mount positioned on the left, rear swing arm.
The rear cable tie (had to use two connected to get the length) goes through the 'V' shape made top of the arm forward.
Rush Cadence Mount: Finished Product
A few finishing touches:
1. Make a vertical cut to the back of the 'L', right of the base - this means the arm for the wheel magnet can actually be used. Handy 
2. The back of the 'L', left has had a section removed from the bottom. This allows room for the cable tie required to hold the sensor in place. Although as I said earlier, it's probably best to remove this whole piece to be honest.
Rush Cadence Mount: Bend More
Bend the mount a few more times to complete.
Note that it's not possible to fit the sensor here because:
1. There's no way to get a cable tie round the left end of the base (where my thumb is).
2. The arm for the wheel magnet is blocked by the back of the 'L' on the right.
Rush Cadence Mount: Bend It
Make a 90 degree bend at the first cut.
We have to remove the backing from what will become the base of the mount as shown here. This is a bit tricky, so to be honest, it's probably best to remove all the back part of the 'L' shaped section from the first bend through to the third cut.
Rush Cadence Mount: First Cuts
Take a piece of angle Aluminium (this was 20x20x1.5 section). 180mm long, and make cuts leaving the following lengths:
29mm, 31mm, 54mm, 36mm, 30mm

The Weather
This weekend seems an opportune time to mention here at NoBMoB we now have a simple test (read: this may or may not work/be accurate) page relating to rainfall on various tracks we know and love:
This shows relative rainfall (ie. the scale is not calibrated in any particular way) graphs that are built from the BOM Rain Radar data.
