Re: Will a Revo run a rear light other than a Redeye?

3.7v output would indicate they are powering the output from the standlight which I suspect is a very low mAh LI-Ion or LiPo cell.

Re: Will a Revo run a rear light other than a Redeye?

Revo is not USB standard, though they use the same jacks as Exposure's other battery powered lights the input is 6V 1W AC. I am unsure of the output from the other port, but will try a test this weekend as i'm right in the middle of a little project to build a charging/cache battery system for dyno/...

I had a USE SUB on my Klein Attitude, it was quite good, didn't dive, but it did twist under heavy braking

Re: Sram Groupset issues

I had SRAM force cx for a year, I recabled it maybe 5 times, shifting was always sluggish, esp down the block. I got sick of it and upgraded to shimano.

Will never buy SRAM again.

Re: Semi plus tyres sort of thing

The DHF is too aggressive for what I want really Gabes. Had a chat in the shop near work and have gone for a Vittoria Mezcal - https://www.vittoria.com/eu/catalog/product/view/id/2192/s/mezcal-15418/category/301/ will see how I get on with it. Yeah it's a really knobbly tyre the DHF, great for slop...

I'm running 35mm rims with a Maxxis DHF 29er Wide Trail (I think 2.5" maybe 2.6"), works great.

I know Lewis currently in 2nd place, met him around 2009 at bike polo world champs in berlin and hung out in karlsruhe, he was just a kid! Now he's 28 and is flying. Vegan power.

Re: TDR 2018

I rode with carbon jones, and no aero bars. Both my hands were completely numb for ~6 months after. I'd run some aero bars for sure. Definitely not drops!

I think you have to do the 300, otherwise you will not have done all of the BB kilometres.
