i c... if only for night, cheapo rm50 rechargeable oso ok.. but for daytime, u really need to get the very bright ones, designed specifically for daytime.

how much u willing to spend?

there are some really bright ones, if used at night. but in daylight, not visible enough. such as knog blinder r70.

i googled "cycling rear light for daytime", read some reviews and finally decided on bontrager flare r. i rarely ride at night.

How much you got the bontrager flare R? How batterg life for ride 5-6 hours?

I am not sure if 50 lumen enough for daytime ride.

Sometimes, it's not the lumens alone but the optics that help enhanced and spread the lights better.

Here's some reading material...

rm229 retail
5.75 hrs 65 lumen flash
10 hrs 35 lumen flash
lumen output is enough for daytime because the light is cyclops style. concentrated. so the brightness is enough. in fact, don't look right in the light. sakit mata lah haha

dunno n doesnt matter to me
what are the odds a car t-boning u? when do u need side visibility? a t-junction n slim i guess. before the car could t-bone u, they usually would stop. or at least look to their sides first. u need a headlight instead.
my pendapat lah

life is once. when im reaching 40 im not fit for racing anymore. every year max heart rate getting lower. now is the only time to act.

xc really hard to get sponsored. any xc events its always pros and semi pros conquering the podium.

u are new to MTB la tu... please visit more LBS and join more events. using an expensive bike wont get u far as well. justmy2cents. u should go to mtb tered instead of here. sini banyak lycran and they dont like MTB

I read the rules but I want to know more about what I will be facing. I probably shud be asking more on how well the highway is lit rather than the lighting... my bad.

i have been active in mtb since 2009. i know alot of lbs and built good relationship with them. i know well their mentality and i know well their thinking. some of my friends are sponsored riders and i have hear alot of negative things in the small industry.

btw i agree with you, some road bike specialist shop have this prejudice against mtb riders. they dont understand true xc riders are much stronger than them.

tak faham maksud. anyway good luck in searching your bike.

If you are competitive and does not want to bring everything from your previous post, then dont bring anything.
it's a closed event. cars are not passing through. only bicycles and event marshals
Good luck in 1st placing

I'm not being competitive but I just wanna know more on how well lit the highway. This is my first nite event plus I've even try searching for photos online just to see what I will be facing in terms of safety. I know GCE can be very dark in some stretches. hmm.gif
