A $20 front light is useless unless your riding in well lit city streets and going slow. You can't take a $20 light ride on a pitch dark road at 20mph and feel safe...your over riding your light at 5 mph in those conditions not alone 20. There's a reason cars and motorcycles have bright lights because they travel at high speeds and the higher speed you ride the more your lighting you have becomes dangerously useless.
hate to bust your balls but for $20 shipped I got this awesome headlamp/320733095545?pt=AU_Sport_Camping_Hiking_Lamps_Torches&hash=item4aad2ea679[/url]. 300 lumens, 2 rechargeable batteries with a 6 hour life each and the charger. I can see brilliantly at 27mph in pitch black areas with no moon out.

And a big sell about the knog computer was yes it's easy removal for when locking up in sketch places, and the fact I could mount it on my stem instead of my bars.
