Jeff-o,
Damn nice setup. I just noticed you're in Kitchener, Ont. About 2 hours from me. I hail from T.O. You work for Rebel-Cycles? CEO+wrench? I'd love to see that in person. Definately something I would want to buy myself if there was a turn signal intergated or a quick release on that thing. I'm a stop and go guy so it'd worry me to have that parked outside while I'm shopping and come out and it's not there. o.o; Just an idea as I've always wanted something to manually flash but have you considered making a water proof switch for the taillight and one for the front light so if you've got some driver behind to tailing you can manually hit the switch and overdrive the LEDs or the 1W's by a bit to make them brighter so the driver will back off. Also helps IMHO in the front as well when you're at an all way stop and no one moves cause they're not sure what to do as you're a cyclist. At least where I am. It would be nice if I can manually high beam for a second to signal "you first" or something.

What *I*'d like to know is -- when will the new, improved (warn-off, brakes and turnsignals) kit be available? Or for that matter any kit! I'm on the verge of trying to hack my own, but as I've no hardware experience at all beyond assembling my own computers, the prospect daunts.
Enquiring minds want to know!

Jeff-o,
Been a while. ANy updates on the lighting effects on the road? Any updates in LED mounting? Try any of the CREE or SEOUL led's? If you're not heard of the Seoul P4 led's they can at 1A pump out 240lm or roughly equiv. to a 25W halogen to my understanding. At 350ma they are ~80lm+ so more light with less power use.
