The QUICK question thread.....

[SummitFever]

Should have mentioned I saw them age ago but they are way to big, I need 190x51.

I had one of those (in that exact size I think) on the Banshee and it was excellent.

Anyone know where I may find a file for a hanger on a ns soda?
Otherwise, I’ll have to re-install fusion

They're not very powerful though are they? Is 100 lumens really adequate for night riding?

No, 100 lumens is about where front/rear flashing marker lights are on the lumen scale.

700-1000 on bike and helmet at minimum.

Ideally a big spread light on your bars and a smaller lighter pencil beam on your helmet.

2000+ on bars and around 1200 on your helmet is ideal. Next issue is how long you want the above to last.

I just want it to light the path ahead of me, I'm not looking to ride any trails at night.

Who even needs a light for that? The moon is all the lumens you need to ride the path! Plus lighting up males you an easy target for eggs hurled by teenagers yelling "do a wheelie". Well I would smart arse, but the barrage of eggs is making it really difficult.

Why not?

Night trail riding is the fkn best.

How good is the tail light?

Because I can't afford a 1200 + 2000 lumen light setup.

Cool story. Mine cost about $50 and I ride in thick bush.

They’re no good for just lighting up the road in front of you sorry, only night riding.

@HamboCairns wipe those tears. I run this on the helmet as main light, with spreader on the bar. I buy a second, bigger battery though, and use the stock one as a backup.

Do you run this setting sometimes if the ride is getting a bit boring?

Do you get skull mounts, for us true legends who feel there is no need for helmets. I lie, I wear a helmet through magpie season.
