Bikes, components, clothing, beer accessories and technical issues
My lights -- not the old ones, but the new ones I bought in 2004 -- finally crapped out, so I'll be getting some new lights in the very near future, and so I was wondering: what lighting systems do you use, and what do you think of them? How powerful, HID vs LED, lumens, run times? What do you all recommmend?
(I have a particular brand/model in mind, but I don't want to prejudice anyone's answers so I'll keep that to myself for now.)
I was just cleaning up some of my gear over the weekend and noticed a crack along the side of my helmet. It looked like it happened just from keeping it in a bag for roadtrips. It's nothing too serious but I'm sure it's compromised so I'm heading out to replace it. I never really thought to specifically check it since I haven't had any of "those" crashes so it might be a good idea to check out your safety gear every once in a while and not take it for granted.
When you need it, it's too late - helmets save lives. It saved mine.

Since this is my favorite place to get help on the internet, here goes.
Just changed pads on my Avids for the first time and fluid squirted out from reservoir when I pushed the pucks in. This happened on both calipers. Anyone else have experience with this? Never happened with any other brakes, but maybe it's common with Avids?
Thx,

I'm looking to have a 2-inch receiver hitch installed on my 2004 Honda Pilot. Anyone have a good suggestion where I could have this done and not get gouged in the price?
This is kinda neato!

Anyone ever use one of these hydration systems? I dislike the backpacks and think this way beats a water bottle cage.
Just thought I'd share this in case anyone has a Magicshine and desires a more durable mount. I got the mount from www.bikeempowerment.com, the guy takes a mount from something else (not sure what) and makes the proper mods to fit your particular light, and it was only $15. In the case of my MJ-872, he shaved off some of the metal, and bored out a hole in the right place.
