What size were the bolts? M3 ? Trying to solve this issue at the moment.

Cheers! Good idea, thanks.

K-Edge out front, AliX gopro mount, 2x longer countersunk bolts and nuts, Exposure GoPro mount

I like the look of that exposure/go-pro/k-edge combo.

Can you or anyone else recommend a cheap go pro mount that fits the k-edge? I've seen some that have a different bolt placement or are 90º the wrong way.

There don't seem to be as many about (that offer Left/Right screw location), except the official K-edge one or found this on ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VeloChampion-CNC-Handlebar-Mount-Adapter-To-Fit-Garmin-Computers-and-Go-Pro/123686178289?epid=1674844819

Was hoping someone might be help with a front light decision.

I have a Ravemen PR1600 Which I bought about a year ago, I really liked it and it worked well for commuting as well as some dark and rainy Audax rides before then completely giving up the ghost.

I liked that you could dip the light and the charging/ power bank function was occasionally useful. It also offered plenty of illumination on small lanes.

Unfortunately can’t find the receipt or warranty. Wondering weather to try again and buy another but fill in a warranty this time, or splash out on the Exposure Strada. Anyone else have the Ravemen? Was I just unlucky?

Cheers!

Sorted my out front brackets with longer M3 bolts nuts and washers.

Only remaining concern is the nylon spacers that go between the mount and the stem (over the bolts) - anybody had issues with these failing? Feel like metal would be a better material for such purpose.

I did find that the original sleeves tended to deform somewhat under load, i.e. when the bolts were tightened up.
Replaced with some of this, cut to length.

Tartan slippers look comfy.

Looks ideal. Sorry, which diameter was it you used?

@jontea they are Homeys and 100% ™️ Approved

You want the 7.9mm Corrected
this gives an id of about 4.8 mm a neat fit on 5mm bolts

Cheers.

I bought an Exposure Blazer, is it normal for the battery level light to always be on?

Blazer

how does it fit?

Tbh a little loose and red isn’t my colour

Anyone got a recommendation for a helmet mountable light with a replaceable battery? I think my helmet is on the way out so preferably something that can be moved to a new one when the time comes.

Evening all. My front light just died. Anyone tried this https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/LIPXBBB10W/planet-x-burn-baby-burn-dual-led-10w-700-front-light

Thanks.

last question before I buy the exposure diablo - am i going to blind road users if i have it slung under the handlebars, pointed down, and on a low setting?

Or am I better off with the strada.

Got both get the strada for the led how much is left stuff.

No, you won't. They aren't as bright as car headlights so as long as the angle isn't shining the beam directly into someone's eyes, it'll be fine.

Can't recommend the Diablo enough, had mine for almost 7 years now and it's been rock solid.

The strada does look really good, just a bit bulky and a bit more expensive.
The remote switch looks really smart as well
