When I build up my new RST I did not fit a rear carrier, so my old dynamo rear light would no longer fit my bike with out some mods. So at the start of the summer when dynamo lights were going cheap cheap in Europe I brought 2 of these.

I wired them in parallel, they are very bright, small and easy to fit. Only put them on a few days ago, so not much use yet.

Jags,
Yep, you live in the sticks so you know what it is like to cycle with no street lights, as much warning to cars is a good thing.

Why the funky bends in your front mudguard stays??

Glad you spotted that, they allow me to receive BBC Radio 2 in all parts of the world.
When I got the mudguards I did not have a suitable cutting tool, so I put the funky bends in to make then shorter thus allowing them to fit. I have a spare set of stays that I keep meaning to fit but just never seem to get around to it. They do add a bit of spring to the stays so they do not rattle around at all and if you catch them on a kerb they spring back nicely.
All the best.
