Well, it aint pretty but it works, just like nature intended.

Both bolts were too long and needed to be packed out. It will do the trick for the Mont 24hr in a couple of weeks and after that I might try and find a tidier setup...., maybe.

I'll be interested to hear how you liked that on the back of your helmet. Did it keep tipping your helmet back?

Got out for 2 night rides this week. The case and helmet setup is really good. No issues with tipping helmets etc. I think that the Bell Super sitting pretty low anyway probably helps with the stability though.

About a 1.5 hr run time out of some pretty mediocre yum cha no name 18650 cells which was pleasantly surprising.

Nice not having to run long wires and wear a pack.

Whilst this might not be completely relevant to the thread my Aldi bike light set which I used for commuting started playing up.

I found the receipt and I was just outside the 12 month warranty, quick email to Aldi and I had another set shipped out to me no dramas. I rate the front light as it's pretty bright but the new rear light is a step up from the old one...I'll def try but another set as a spare when the come on sale again!

The batteries are the weak link .
LEDs are cheap and reliable still using Cateyes from 12 years ago but with a new external battery pack also from a UK model car company last 3 yrs .
