- Comparing white LED lights
I now have
a decent white LED light that is designed as a replacement for an MR16
halogen. So I went out and took photos to compare it to my other lights.
- Building bike lights
This is
an enduring interest, and I have written a printable pamphlet for MassBUG as well as on-web
instructions. Hopefully these will help you too. There's the more
traditional 12V system with a sealed lead acid battery for about
$AUS80, but also the top of the line
NiMH system based around a cordless drill. That gives fast
charging and high power output, plus a very clean mounting on the
bike. It costs somewhere from $AUS500 (Panasonic) down to about
$AUS100 (KMart NiCad system). At the 24 hour MTB race our system
was amongst the best on show!
- Snafu tyres
I like these, I use them,
they work. They are rated to 130psi!
- Velocity Rims
On the other
hand, these deep V rims have died on me twice, and I have heard of
other failures it the sidewall with them. Mine blew out on a near-
new disk braked wheel. That sucks!
- What is a Recumbent?
And what do
all those acronyms mean? And who are these people anyway?
