Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Actually, that isn't quite true. If you compare, for example, the Lupine Betty @1850 lumens to the Exposure Six Pack @1800 lumens, respective weights are 485 and 490 grams. And the Six Pack is handlebar mount only, where the Betty can go on bars or helmet. The Betty is slightly more expensive, though, and has a better real-world run time.

i am using the Lupine Piko on the front and the Vis 180 (light and Motion) on the back.

The Piko has a little less light then my Seca 700 - however the short cable, and smaller battery works much better for the install.

PBike in the back, Magicshine up front. Absolutely love the magicshine, best bang for your buck light there is, IMO.

I'm rolling the dice with mine, I'm waiting to hear about people getting them back before I send mine in. I use it every day and I don't feel like waiting months for another battery.
