Bar End Lights
G'day
On the Touring -- The Internet Bicycle Touring List http://www.phred.org/mailman/listinfo/touring there has been some discussion of bar end lights which I assume are these ones or similar - http://snipurl.com/peep/1pjw6. I am thinking of same for my flatbar and was interested in the experiences and/or opinions of the esteemed members of this group, particular in terms of their effectiveness.

They look OK, but for some reason I was expecting that you'd need a red light on the port side and a green one on the starboard! ;-) BTH |

Regards Andrew ----- Churchlands, Western Australia Giant CRX 1; Giant Boulder SE http://aushiker.com http://backpackgeartest.org http://geocaching.com.au G'day! I got some a while back. Not bright enough to be visible, especially in traffic with so many oterh lights around. I found them, in my peripheral vision, irritating. Easily damaged by leaning your bike against things too. I inherited some when I bought my shop. Took them out of the cabinet because I couldn't feel comfortable selling them as a good product. I've sent you an email off list to see if you want some free ones if you want them... Cheers, Frank |

Regards Andrew Snipped Andrew, I had a set of these on my MTB xtracycle coomuter for about 4 months (during winter essentially). As "marker lights" I thought they were very effective in making me stand out on the road. But realise, that anything you previously just grazed past with your bar ends, you would actually be hitting with the Knog lights and they're not built for taking huge knocks. They were in a clearance bin in the LBS near work for $10 each, which I thought was a bit cheap, until the TCO became more apparent. As they're powered by 4 x LR-44 button cells each (around $1.50/cell) the lights were just too expensive to keep in use. My urban use lighting setup is now based around rechargeable AAA's which are a bit better for my hip pocket and the environment. -- Pete.B |
