It's a Blackburn 4.0 and inspired by PMJ's bottle top based shroud I'm struggling with a beer can, a pair of pliers and mum's best kitchen scissors (ok, they're my scissors but mum's sounds better) to fashion a slip on diffuser. It's been a while since I dragged myself to a miserable pass in my CDT A-level so the gaffa tape route may win in the end.
-
Can't you just use it on a 'chase' setting, so that only 1 LED is on at a time? That's what I do with the Blackburn 3.0, and no-one's complained yet.

Lifeline the chainraection brand make a ti bottle cage
I am getting a pair and robin Mather wil beadblast them at the same time as my frame so they should be of similar hue

4.0 has just one big bright led so no.

How limiting :/

@ BMMF
What are the logistics of 28 riders and trains to PB ? -
@ shootthebreeze
How long is a piece of string? -
19:40
20:0615 on each? that's a suggestion bmmf. 1st fifteen can either wait at the station or at the top of carbone.
can anyone who is defo riding out annotate the list please.

@ shootthebreeze
How long is a piece of string?Gimme a sec
-
The length of a piece of string is usually about 4ft +/- 3ft
Judging by the amount of people on the train for the recce, I'd say we'd be lucky to get more than 10 on any given train.As per C/S's request... Who's riding out then ?
-
There were fuck all people on that first train - and it was a big train (unlike the one after). 2 people in each doorway (you could just fuck off those stupid-not-big-enough bike slots entirely) would get about 24 people on the first train. Maybe a dozen on the 2nd. Just need people to filter onto the 1st train by walking all the way up to the front most vacant doorway, so we don't get a stupid crush at the back and attract attention from jobsworths.
Let's say cap it at 36 riders, but make that inclusive of people riding out, to be on the safe side. If it drops to 24 at the station on the day, we all get on the first train.
Yes? No? [/moue]

Hmmmmm... ok
I'll shut the fuck up then.

we tip up in plenty of time at the station, get ticketed and then make sure we are sharpish on the train as soon as the platform number is shown. no fucking about as 24 people on one train is going to raise eyebrows roger moore style

I feel your pain MrSmyth, I have tried more bottle cages than I care to admit trying to find ones that do not scuff let alone mark. These do not produce any black marks but slight scuff marks are evident where the bottle slides in and out, its better but still means getting through 2 Rapha bottles a month though...
