Had my letter also. hey ho it'll be light on the commutes by the time they arrive

surrey_commuter

I am trying to find a "telefax" machine so that I can communicate back with them

I've not had a letter - it's a funny muddled old set-up isn't it?

Would you like mine?

Don't care now because I'm not riding in the dark again this year

I shall use my light to light my way to the Roebuck this evening.
Never mind telefax, anyone still got a telex?

itboffin

I used to have an Italian government agency as a customer who only sent important communications via telex I'd only seen one in use before that and that was used to send messages to Japan

Were they ever widely used?

I think in the 70's. My best mate a primary school's sister was a telex operator

My sister who is a professional scuba diver, sailor, etc says that telex is used for maritime communications.

Must be a naval thing because the italians were using them to commuinate with ships

Not for me, always dark when I ride home at 22:00 but I do have a guaranteed daylight ride into work and a dark ride home. Think in the time I've been doing the 2-10 shift I've ridden 5 minutes on the way home with no lights in the height of summer.

It's not online anywhere?
Tried google but no success.

URL is http://www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk/PROP2Q - you can try the EARLY20 code, not sure if it'll still bring the extra £5 off.

My letter arrived today - random process.

surrey_commuter

my magazine arrived today - my helpful email suggesting how they might re-engineer their magazine sending process obviously did the trick.

Wow - that style of writing really grates with me :x I couldn't read it :evil:

Looking forward to testing the light myself and seeing if my helmet loves it.... :roll:

cookeeemonster

anyone know if this can fit to a proper handlebar mount not just your helmet? I assumed it'd fit using standard lezyne mounts...

itboffin

i cant remember if i mention this already but wasnt there a rumor that Schummy helmet mounted camera contributed to the severity of his injuries? and if that's the case then wouldnt a helmet mounted light have the same effect?

even if the light comes off the mount is strapped in place, sounds very dangerous to me.

gabriel959

Went on holiday to Spain, came back, 2nd magazine received, still no light to be seen anywhere

small_bloke

Can this bracket-mount be used on the light for front handlebar (I believe you can turn off the rear red light in some way as well - but not sure).

Also got second magazine and no light. Have had a letter saying unprecedented demand and hopefully a light within 28 days.

veronese68

Rear light can be switched off, I think you have to hold the power button for 5 seconds or something then scroll through modes. Then it could be used as a bar light with the mount shown above. Works pretty well as a helmet light, I like to use one to help spot the deer at the side of the path and thought the rear might be an advantage in traffic. I thought I might use it in place of the Exposure Joystick I have and sell that. To be honest I prefer the Exposure, seems to be lighter and it has a better mount. I can feel the Lezyne mount against my head, can't with the Exposure.
Not a bad light by any stretch, and a great deal when it turns up. Thanks Gabriel.

2 identical letters arrived today, both dated 24.12.14. Light will be with me within 28 days, they say...
