Have any of you swapped out the battery for something lighter, and with a quicker charge time, and longer burn time?
Road or MTB or both?
I use those crappy visionsticks for the MTB, not very good but didnt cost much ($300).
Had a night out at the local XC course with the rep from Niterider and got to use a set of what i think were Forestorms? HID jobbies which RRP around $1000.
Well, it was like riding in the middle of the day these things were so damn bright. Good for dazzling mates and attracting every bug onto their head when you've stopped.
I'd luv a set but until the lotto cheque comes in, I'll continue to bag anyone who uses them as a cheat and tell them their not really night riding until they've used my candles
