Re: [RBW] Mystery bike in April Blahg
I was really thinking about gravel riding where you might encounter occasional stretches of single track and when you might need to push into the night to make a goal, make up for lost time, get back on schedule. When I was doing 24 hour MTB races I thought it was important to have the main light on the bike so you could see where you are headed and a smaller helmet light to look into turns. It’s great if you can recharge or stop after a lap and change batteries. In a multi day bikepacking adventure battery capacity, battery weight and recharging are issues. FWIW the bikepackers on FB are running dynamo systems. The leading edge systems charge batteries that run lights and recharge devices. The best charge both from dynamo and solar. For straight dynamo systems the issue is lower power output below 10 mph. John On Mon, Apr 29, 2019 at 8:41 PM Eric Daume wrote: > And for single track I really want a helmet mounted light anyway.

And for single track I really want a helmet mounted light anyway. Not being able to look around corners is frightening.

Interestingly, the file name for that is F25for_blahg_grande which kind of confirms my suspicions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Mystery bike in April Blahg
Grant posted the drawing with no explanation and every time I look at it I scan the page looking for an explanation!? AND Nobody has mentioned anything about it . . . So . . . here I go . . . Looks like the Gus Boots in side profile, until you realize it's got a twin curved top tube? Is it possible this is the "anniversary" bike? Kinda what the internet calls an "Easter egg" these dayz? Maybe? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
