@hippy Are you crazy?

Please folks, if you ride with a cree cheap light such those,
post here how many burning time you have and in which mode with which BP...etc

Don't forgot to buy a 5V USB compatible light such as those i posted

Hi, between 10-14th june 2016 an event called "Born to Ride" will give us the chance to ride from Vézelay (France, Morvan near Paris) to Barcelone (Spain) in under 96 hours.
I'll be in... Any advice welcome!

Chinese battery faillure are frequent, and could potentially burn your house... Buy a well-branded powerbank

But in both cases don't forgot that's cheap and not reliable. Could easily broke at any time, but you know, that's bargain.

Yep, there are so many out there, but here is mine:

I bought this one because I didnt wan't headband strap. I already have one. If you want to have one you might consider something else.

Plus I can add beam pattern if you want some (with and without the wide angle lense).

I was planning an Audax ASAP and saw this...

Oh i'm looking forward to see it, yep.

Ok so here is my opinion about CREE XML T6:

PROS:

• 12 hours battery in medium mode, +/- 7hrs in the most powerful mode with a good 10 000 mAh battery pack.
  
• bargain price (10€)
  
• USB compatible (you can choose a reliable powerbank by your own)
  
• very very very very bright.
  
  

CONS:

• Need to be modifiyed to not dazzle people sharing the road with you
  
• better optics would be great
  
• that's chinese -- could easily be broken without reason at every time
  

Same here. That's a nice neo-retro

IMO Schwalbe One are undefeated. If you wanna choose something else, why not Vittoria Corsa Evo CX. Quite good... Or Open Pavé. But I'm doubtful because they might not be available for tubeless.

Schwalbe O. are really good indeed!

Pomp' is a really good SSCX indeed... Not only the perfect commuting bike!

Are you selling all of these only in order to get a haircut?

He rodes frome Milano to Lyon straight

Does any of you still ride with mini-v brakes especially when muddy?

Yeah, pretty nice indeed!!
But the main problem is that i already have a disc ready wheels with front dyno hub and carbon rims ...

I'm still looking for a carbon road bike frame disc-ready in 60cm............ it's seems to be Mission Impossible. Could someone help me?
Just something reliable around 400euros, without thru-axle.

In love...

11 hours with my Cree and 10 000 mAh powerbank !!!
I could maybe extend this burning time at 15hours but i loose interest and cut it done as 20% battery was remaining

"Merci !"

I'm using them since years.
Incredible rear light. Really, so fucking small (picture this evening if you want)
front is pretty good too because unlike Luxos at something like 10-15kph you've got maximum power which is good during long climb.
The only negative part is the mount, and the wires which need to be really well soldered. Water came easily..

I'm testing my CREE XML new gen light, that's look decent.
Running with a 10 000 mAh usb anker power bank, i should have something like 8 hours of burning time at intermediate power...

The big point with doval is that you actually could push less and have the same power. I try to explain myself.
With a regular (circular) chainring, you need to be constant. With an Oval, you could easily have a dead point and then put more watts. So it's helping you to climb with a smaller cassette at the same speed / pace, or with a bigger cassette, faster than with a circular one.

Yep i've got this.

But what's the main difference between a 18° and a 16° angle ? In which case are you spinning faster?
