I don't have one on my FG but I love the dynamo hub on my commuter bike. If money wasn't so tight I'd run dynamo hubs on all my bikes.

superflash on the back. cateye spot in the front, but I'm still deciding on which torch to replace it with -- I'd like 3 modes (on/off/blink), short, water and shock proof, 3 hours at least of runtime, and AA NIMH batteries...ITP CR8 is an option, but I havent pulled the trigger just yet.

knog beetle front light. because i just need to be seen. super bright.



and mars 3.0 rear light: super visible from the front and sides. also waterproof for those wet rides.

i don't know if the beetle would be enough to be seen in traffic with.

I got my blackburn flea set a couple weeks back. The back isn't as bright as a superflash, but it's better than a knog. The front, though, is so ****ing bright. Jeezus kryst that little guy is bright. I can't mount it on my handlebars because it's too bright and too much of the light leaks around the sheilding and blinds me. I had to cut up the velcro mounting strap to get it to mount onto my helmet. Now I can look ******y drivers right in the eyes and give them seizures. Yay!

these things waste batteries super fast and are barely visible. why waste your money? get something that's bright.

can you or anyone show and tell about your helmet light setups?

I can post pics up when I get home tonight.

gracias.

The Flea's mounting system is a velcro strap that runs from front to back, through a loop then and stickies to itself. I split the strap down the middle to give it two long straps. The straps are starting at the back of the light, run under the helmet's little fin thing, through the loop and then back onto itself.

thank you. i hope to rig up something like this myself soon.

yup these are the best I have used

beetle on the bars and a superflash for the rear...the beetle has four different settings
for the darker months i use the 3 led headlight by planet bike and i mount a second smaller light on my helmet...must be seen

I am a big fan of the Niterider Mini-Newt USB. It's bright as hell, relatively lite weight and lasts forever. It also helps that you can recharge it with any computer or USB power supply.

i have tried pretty much every bike light there is....imho this is the best set up for your money....super bright....super easy to use....easy to charge.....outperformes nitelights at half the cost....plus you can use it as a plain old flash light when needed....the flashlight itself kicks ass

Knog lights are pretty fashionable as well as utilitarian. They are easy to attach and remove. Expensive though. 10 bucks on ebay.

Super flash on the rear. People can't miss it.

Painful, hurtful and harsh. Why cant we have nice things?

I used to use a knog red and white, but the red one isn't very bright. Eventually switched to a cateye in the rear.

I just picked up the planet bike 1W blaze and superflash. I got a good deal on them and didn't want to pass it up. Thanks for the help guys.

when i get the time, im going to try mounting both the blaze and superflash to my hex helmet losing all semblance of self respect.
