DISCLAIMER. MOUNTAIN BIKING CAN BE DANGEROUS. YOU JOIN US AT YOUR OWN RISK.

SAFETY BRIEFING.

  • Wear a helmet. Despite recent advances in medical science, brains still cannot be mended nor replaced.
  • Wear gloves or mitts. Hands often hit the ground first. Cuts and grazes invite infection and a hospital visit.
  • Wear eye protection, it only takes a twig or thorn to lose an eye. Crud catchers are a good idea in mucky weather.
  • When downhilling, for your own protection, allow plenty of space behind the rider in front.
  • Bring a bare minimum emergency tool kit and a spare inner tube.
  • Breakdowns are a bore. Plan not to have any by ensuring your bike is in perfect working order.
  • Punctures are also tedious. You can minimise them by fitting latex tubes, slime tubes or running tubeless tyres.

Lights this evening?

Hi
Hoping to join you guys this evening for the first time.
I have a 700 lumen light. Will this be alright, or does anyone have something more high powered I could borrow if I need to?
Keen to figure out what is best before shelling out.
Thanks

Chris

Re: Lights this evening?

Hi Chris, 700 should be ok, it depends on whether it's 700 real lumens or 700 special Chinese lumens from a few years back. I can bring a spare with me. The real trick is to not ride in front of someone with a really bright light as you end up seeing the shadow of your knees going up and down otherwise your eyes will adjust to what you have.

I'll be out tonight. Fulbourn isn't it?

Re: Lights this evening?

See you later on.

Cheers

Chris

Re: Lights this evening?

I'm oooot
Hi Chris, Yes agree with Richard, don't ride in front of Tony!!!!

I have a used twice Gun metal grey Exposure Exposure Maxx Mk13 for sale (current model) for sale all boxed, charger, handlebar mount, receipt dated 4/2/2022 2 year warranty.
Bought on a whim because it was a good price, then realised I didn't need it because I already have three good lights...too lazy/embarrassed to return.
£250.00

Re: Lights this evening?

I'll be out

Re: Lights this evening?

Let's face it Duncan, everyone will be riding in front of Tony

Incidentally, my main light is an Exposure Maxx D mark 13

Re: Lights this evening?

That's what reminded me I had one for sale!!:pensive:
