In ten days I'll be heading out west for a ten day tour in Oregon. There will be some long days where we'll be riding into the night, and that's got me thinking about how I have my lights mounted.
I'm using an Edelux II light with a SONdelux hub. The light is mounted to the light mount on a Nitto Campee front rack. It is perfect when riding in the dark on straight roads or moderate curves. It is not so great when you are on trails or tight fast corners, like switch backs when coming down the mountains. Like all bike-mounted lights, the beam is directed forward, rather than into the turn. This has given me a few hair-raising moments when I can't see what's around the bend. Mounting your light to your helmet is an obvious alternative, so you are lighting whatever you are looking at. However, that's very awkward with a dynamo. For those who ride in the mountains or on twisty roads, what do you do? Maybe a dynamo plus a head/helmet light when required? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
