great! rclxms.gif

these days most stuff r china made..
so it is good to check the chinese forums...

now, tons of light from china, and the budget ones have
acceptable quality liao..

i saw ultrafire/uranusfire on tb, seems acceptable enough the quality,
price is really tempting... drool.gif

i think for normal street riding... 200lumen is good enuff,
get one with higher rating, but use 200lumen for riding.
choose one with a large/wide 'spill',
if u dun ride a lot at night, might consider a flash light,
so u can use it off the bike.
but bike light with batt pack will last longer than flash light
with single batt.

dun worry about the batt pack, u can get it easily here.
there is a company at amcorp tower pj, which specialised in batt,
they can spot weld batts and custom make batt packs..
make sure the charger accepts 220v ++.

i believe u can find lots of info here in this chinese forum for starters... biggrin.gif

http://www.shoudian.org/forum.php

for cycling.. light with a long throw is not that useful, u want to see just far enough
and a wide flood.

check out these beam pattern test.. and also the reviews..

http://reviews.mtbr.com/2013-bike-lights-s...ard-beam-photos

the magicshine MJ-872 have some good reviews. just compare its beam pattern
with others ( see the link above )

TB price 720 RMB..

RM price frm SG seller..

I actually prefer right rides which is why I am looking for a bicycle headlamp and not a torch. But I do day rides too. My concern of getting a headlamp is that: how much will the difference be if I were to get one with 200 lumens vs those 1200 lumens? I know the power output is different hence the difference of lumens. But does the lumens affect the range throw of the lights? I mean, it would be good to get one with wide spill as well as a longer range.

I had my eyes on Knog Blinder Road 2, just that the price is quite high, and the running time is pretty low for a headlamp. My budget for this *fingers crossed* will hopefully within a RM100 range, which after looking at various posts on TB, ebay, etc, is very much unlikely as those products are all over RM100.

I am just curious to know how you use your folding, given it is a folding bike regardless your configuration. For example - as a 'road bike' for speed? as a 'touring' for distance? or anything? May be the best way to frame it is "how to you get the maximum fun' from your folding, which is of course, very individual. Bike it just a machine! Keep up the ride


Ahhhh... Okay, I follow you now..

I get my fix with the following bikes..

The smallest bike in my stable is my 16" Dahon. Used mainly for bikepacking in town-hopping trips.

It's pretty nippy!

My workhorse in the stable, used mainly for touring..

user posted image

We do fairly a bit of touring.. Seen here in Southern Thailand..

We also own two full-suspension foldies that are mainly used for offroad rides..

Our bikes on the trail...

My latest aquisition: a 24" folding bike.. This one's a real stunner!

We really enjoy cycling it and its also a pretty fast bike.. hahahah!!!!
