Info For Hope Vision 1 LED Owners

I'd PM'd this to jonny and VB, but after speaking to jonny today, he reckoned it was worth putting in the public domain. I found the info buried away on another forum, and present you with a tarted up version.

Probably superfluous info, but...

... I thought I'd mention it.

I just bought the item in the top right of this picture (item ref: HF29G).

I got it from Maplins on High Holborn, and it stung a bit at the princely sum of 79p.

Why? If you were doing a looooong ride, and were carrying 4 spare AAs for your Hope light, you can stick them in this, and then just swap over the battery packs. Bit less faffy, that's all.

It works, despite the prongs for a pp3/pp9 (?) battery, and I've just stuck on a little square of handlebar tape (like the foam patch on the Hope one) to make a snug fit.

How boring was that?

What's happened to you? You left the forum in a cloud of cuntishability (it is a word, fuck you!) then came back as a meaninglessly tedious twat like the rest of the vents posting shite on this dying forum.

If this was a pack of dogs we'd all be put out to pasture with you being the first bitch to be "put to sleep" via the means of a warm poker and a cold M16.

I have said light and thanks for the heads-up, BMMF.
I'll stick to just swapping the batteries though.

keep your inane battery knowledge to yourself.

i am so tired of reading stupid fucking threads about batteries.

I came back to discuss bike-specific stuff that's been of value to me; and to call GA2G a cunt.

Both have their merits, as far as I'm concerned.

Otherwise, I just want to ride my bike very fast, write some fiction, enjoy good stout and single malt, and be a good husband/father.

What the fuck do you want from me?

Tell jonny, not me. He thought it was worth posting. You fucking cunt.

if jonny told you to put your head in the oven....

you want some (internet) beef?

Fuck off, you small-minded prick. Why read the bikes n bits threads if you don't want to see stuff like this?

an inflated opinion of forum ownership.

i thought that was de rigeur for this place.

What are you talking about?

what is going on here?

one of the people who has a decent knowledge of bikes etc posts something useful and gets abused.

considering all the other inane shit here I am sure there are better targets

or is someone trying to create another controversial thread for the hell of it and have i just fallen foul of a prank windup?

sigh

no it's not. some of us who know each other in real life* take the piss out of each other on the forum. That isn't carte blanche to dive in.

*working in mcdonalds

Thanks for the tip BMMF. Useful to know.

@salmonchild - stop being a prick.

Even I am getting tired of the bickering this week.

would you like large fries with that?

Infamy, infamy... ;)

don't diss the S.child. he's old school.

anyway Bring, why not just get a man's light instead of faffing around with third-party electronics like some kind of deranged Wilf Lunn

I've got a supplementary/back-up torch on the way.

It's a bit penis-shaped, and will go on my helmet. Is that what you mean by 'man's light'?

Jesus is the only light I need.

I thought you had a light that never went out.

It got crushed under a ten ton truck.

Was it by your side at all?

Thanks for the advice bmmf.. although since I'm such a smart cunt I already bought a spare battery holder when I got the Dinotte, for the very purpose you mention. Cheers anyway.. I'm becoming fond of this "Maplins".

this is an awesome idea, ta!

I'd reply to this, but I'm full of lovin' at the moment, and I seem to have something stuck in my teeth. Carry on. ;)
