Scorpion?

Looks legit. But only 1 bottle?

Also I think exposure flare. Plus flare is a lot cheaper. And I already own a blaze, which sadly won't fit aerodynamically.
Actually flare doesn't come with rechargeable battery. That's extra. Upselling.

That's fair enough though - it's a fast course and only has 80 spots so it'll probably be tight.
Don't need riff raff like you spoiling my chances at another club record. :P

I saw a few rear light choices. There were definitely Flares and Scorpions in use.

They have a habit of turning off and falling apart during races.

Comet

Crescent

Numen

All probably better.

Well that looks awful

I'll book the good wind and air density in for you.

Thanks @umop3pisdn will look at those.
Actually think I have a moon commet somewhere.

The point is, anything can be made to fit given enough zipties.

What is the testers choice of light?

Moon Comet at the moment, the Crescent is at least as good but has shorter run time due to being half the weight, I'll probably get a Nebula at some point. I like them because in my view the larger emitting area trumps the very high brightness point sources like the Exposures when it comes to actually working out not just that there's something there, but where there is. In truth, I don't think rear lights make a material difference during daylight, you can always see the rider from hundreds of yards away whether they have a light or not.

My blaze attaches fine without all that shit.

Cheers. Anywhere between the 25 and the 30 would be good.
The 10 was 30 seconds too windy for my liking.

So, what's wrong with that?

I might as well just put a parachute out behind me!

Thanks @mdcc_tester
I've got a moon commet. So if I can find the saddle mount that came with it, I'll see how that works.

Your legs are in front of it so the difference is marginal. Actually your skinny legs probably aren't in front of it. Mine shield everything behind... cars, trucks, etc.

Cateye Rapid X2?

See Sense Icon is maybe slightly less aero but very good for making you visible

Thanks, but want something under saddle. Will try a moon commet I have.

@hippy you'd be great to do a 2up with. That's 2 up, not 2 in.

That's a next level "hippy is fat" gag. Chapeau.

Whats the go-to tester approved aero hex skewer? Looking for something aesthetically pleasing for my corima which I just noticed has the axle tapped. I remember seeing a custom job a good few pages which worked with a countersunk socket bolt, was it something @mdcc_tester designed?

I seem to be the source for several people on here doing bolt on conversions. If the axle has M6 female threads, you can use M6×16 countersunk screws with cup washers. I'm using ProBolt at the moment, but @svendhöek found some from another source which actually look nicer, but obviously not as nice as the ones I'll be making later in the year.

After much research etc. I ended up going for the RRE washers. Couldn't find any A4 grade bolts readily available in black so went for some A2 grade from ebay. One more thing, what are the grey rings in the image below and are they necessary? do they provide better grip for the bolts?

They are paper washers, there to protect the paint when you use the cup washers to attach the fairing panels on your motorbike. For holding your wheel to your fork, discard them.

I probably should have pointed out that I have plenty of blacked stainless M6×16 Torx countersunk, I can't remember whether they are A2 or A4, and it doesn't matter in this instance. Is it too late to cancel your ebay order? :-)

Anyone know where I can get some end caps, bar plugs, etc for TT extensions? Not aero, just rubber.

Zipp the feckin' tightarses don't include anything so I've got 4 bare ends just waiting to impale someone on.

You want to know where to buy bar plugs?......
