The other thing I like is how clean they integrate on my Sirrus with Specialized's SWAT system. Plus since I ride the hybrid so infrequently, I don't need to rely on them too much - just can't have the batteries be junk, which right now I'm only batting .500 on the 4 I've bought, so I guess that's telling.
I hear you.
I keep going back to "Blackburn Click"- coin cell battery lasts pretty much all year and never leaves you in the dark.
Why can the equivalent USB one barely make it through one ride?
