There's also a shop around the corner (I'll check out that shop too Rik, thanks!) - I like having a few choices. I kept looking at that green trail along the East River and have been dying to explore it - now I can :)
Actually have a helmet - I used to ride pretty hard, learned to bunny hop without toe clips, rode some trails out on LI. I'm luckily rustier than my bike but since the inner tubes are years old it wouldn't be a bad idea to get some spares! I just realized I don't have reflectors on the tires either (took them off for speed) but I should probably get them for here. And a light for the back and front.
And brand suggestions for pumps?

I buy a lot of my cycling parts and accessories online at Price Point. I feel a little bad for not supporting my local bike shop more. I bought my bike and I buy tubes and stuff locally. But the LBS tends to not stock a lot of product and when they order parts, they usually can only order the latest model. Whereas pricepoint has new old stock (last year's model, etc...) on a lot of things so I can get it way cheaper for basically the same thing.

Hmmm, I don't even know what brand of pump I use. I just remember picking one that could do at least 100 PSI and went with it. No complaints, yet. Oh...I do know that I love that the handle "turns sideways" and makes a tee when pumping. I used to have one that didn't do that and my hand would cramp like a sumb tch before I was even close to finished filling the tire.

Another recommendation question - my bar tape is pretty shot. It was rubber, but now I notice they have cork and other types of materials - anyone use bar tape and if so what do you like?

Now THIS is a thread I can get into.
Do we get to post arrogant pictures of ourselves on our bikes?
Should I describe half the trips I take, trying to make Yehoodite's elitists jealous?
No matter what, I like the thread. Faaaaaan tastic.
Got a question about lights. I STILL can't find one in my budget (though if I knew names, I could start Ebaying & Craigslisting) that'll light up the bike path ahead of me! My budget, by the way, does NOT cover a 150 NiteRider, unless it's truly the only brand that'll do what I want.
I'm lucky enough to have trail almost all the way home, but it's SCARY, thinking I can't see potholes until I'm about to hit them. I have to keep my eyes on the trail right in front of me, and not on the world around me and farther ahead, because nothing stands out in enough contrast to catch my attention otherwise.
I finally saw a bike light on a passerby's handlebars that lit up both of our paths, but he was going the other way, and I didn't have time to yell, "What brand is that??"
I like what's pictured here (it might even be more than I need), but the site hosting it doesn't sell the headlights used.
My bike is huge and heavy--I love it to death, but I really don't need much more weight than my blinkers, current "attract attention" headlights, and burden in the "trunk" give me. Not to mention a pump and other tools I still forget to carry. In other words, some sort of really heavy thing that's got to be mounted onto the frame probably isn't ideal, since right now I can hardly lift my bike onto a bus as it is. I'll recharge the batteries often if I have to, for now.
Car headlights don't blind me as an oncoming driver/biker, yet they can be bright and wide enough to light up the road ahead of the car (and ahead of me when I get one behind me on my bike!)
I heard this is partly because car headlights don't cast a symmetrical beam--it doesn't go nearly as far up as it goes down. Someone said that even the best bike lights tend to be symmetrical, so you'll have to point the center farther down, giving you less distance.
Is that true?
Anyway, given all that...can anyone help me figure out how to truly light up the road so I can see as well as when I'm biking alongside a car? If no good "bike lights" are affordable, can you recommend lightweight parts to jimmy together?
Originally posted Monday, May 15, 2006 (5 years ago)
Awww :oops:! I'm just starting to look at lights and whatnot. I'm finding myself prefer regular batteries to rechargable ones. I don't know if anyone else is finding this but I don't have one rechargable item whose battery packs the same punch a year later as it did when I first got it. Then a new battery costs almost as much as the original item. Don't know how heavy this this but it looks cheap enough to give it a shot.
I hear ya about the weight - my bike's on the heavier side when I ride because I put waterproofing rubber on the inside of the tires since I was tired of getting flats. Those strips add a ton of rotational friction but since it's only an 18 speed it'll keep me from going too fast and gives me more of a workout :)
I just got a new battery for my bike odometer, adjusted the mount and cleaned the contacts - can't believe it still works. So excited. Think I may take a quick trip tomorrow morning - look at pumps and get some spare tires. Speaking of which - I've put in new tires myself but don't have all the tools I usually have. How much do they usually charge you at a bike store?
Also - anyone have a travel tool kit they'd recommend?

Bike Geeks! I can't believe it!
I rode my 20-year-old clunker yesterday and was lucky that someone had pliers (not even a wrench) so I could adjust the rear tire from rubbing against the frame when I pedal with my right foot. The rear wheel bearings are so shot a bike shop told me to just get a new bike. I'm waiting for it to fall off. The helmet I got is about 15 years old and almost all the reflective stuff on the bike is cracked or missing. I have no lights, but do have a speedometer that works in kilometers only. Sometimes I think of locking it poorly in a bad neighborhood and hope that it gets stolen, but don't have the conscience to let someone else be prey to it.
But the brakes still work and the tires hold air for a few weeks at a time and it's good to have a bike in the city you just don't really care too much about.

Somehow I managed to bend the seat though. :-? Sideways. :dunno: Sometimes I truly amaze myself.

kitkat, you're not going to get bright lights until you get into the pricier stuff. You certainly don't need HID, but the 12/13V halogen systems are what are bright, but unfortunately also costly. I'm not a fan of NightOwl either, they have lots of complaints when I was shopping for lights.
I realized the last time I changed the tire I just used the back of a wrench that was curved to slip the tire on and off - why would you want 3 levers?

Yeah, something like that. You're lucky the wrench fit. Tighter tires and you wouldn't have had a chance. You need two levers to hold the tire (hence the spoke hooks) while you use the third to work around.
I noticed you were looking at a Blackburn pump. Blackburn made great stuff when I got mine, but they've since been acquired (by Bell, I think?). I don't know about their quality, but their service has gone down, and they shafted a lot of LBS as not being worth the time/effort to sell to.

Before I start trying to find a high-end light, then, anyone got tried-and-true ideas for jerry rigging a lightweight, bright, & wide-beam flashlight or other device to my bike?
I'm finding plenty of flashlight holders on Google, but I don't know much about the roadworthiness of various flashlights themselves.

Thanks, Steve!
I just came back to post that I'd finally found some do-it-yourself resources. I was searching for flashlight reviews and found one brand that advertised itself in "lumens."
Aha!
A bit of interesting number-crunching (don't know if it's accurate) from one of the comments on the 3rd page:
Quoted from "commenter" A car headlight is 55W power draw. LED's are up to 8 efficent, while halogens are about 3.5 efficent. Thus these LED's create .424W of light, and a car headlight is 1.9W of light.
...
You can buy a 13W HID light from Trail Tech in a nice aluminum housing for 100, and 13W of HID will crush 5W of LED's. HID's can be up to 20 efficent, so 13W of HID can be close to a 55W car headlight.

If you do happen to DIY with one of the above links, note that people that are more knowledgable about LED technology have criticized the design of some of these because many do not include current-limiting resistors. CLR's will extend the life of the LED's and prevent overheating. In addition, at least on of these designs seals everything with epoxy (I think) which can overheat and/or hol din moisture. Silicone sealant is a much better alternative.
I posted the links to MAKE: because the comments included on these projets include the more technical commentary and can help you build the lights better.

Ha. I still use the two-screwdriver method of changing tires. :)
I've got the el-cheapo 50 bike I bought off a guy last summer. Actually it's a better deal than it even sounds. He and his partner buy police auction bikes at bulk, so he had a garage full of them (still tagged). Most had some problems, but they don't let it out until it's working how you want. I picked one out, and while I stood there he ran around pulling parts off other bikes to put on this one including a new wheel (not just the tire), brakes, cables, and even a drink holder. Plus I noticed a lot of the bikes still had chains on them, and asked if I could get one of them. He didn't have a bolt cutter, but instead went and took the chain off HIS OWN BIKE! I said no, you don't have to do that, but he insisted. By the end, I thought I'd have to pay for some of that extra stuff, but he stuck with the 50 bucks.
I may still have his number somewhere if anyone wants.

If you're looking into DIY, I bought my helmet light from Trail Head www.trailheadlights.com He sells the things finished, or in two degrees of DIY. I love how mine performs. You can head- or handlebar-mount it.

That PVC version of the light is awesome. It would be really easy to put a water tight push-button switch on the back. Changing bulbs is easy, mounting is trivial, and all the parts are cheap and available!
Though, I don't think I would have gone with an RCA jack. I would try and look for some kind of water tight connector. If not, I guess a DIN or barrel jack with a neoprene or rubber cover would work.
Then there are all kinds of battery options. Something compact, rechargeable, and that can supply 12 volts in a water tight enclosure. Hmm...
You could use a whole bunch of AA's in a water bottle or "stick" like they do. That would probably be cheap. But a serious pain to recharge. Just think of all the AA chargers you'd have to plug in. Better might be an RC car 12V battery pack. The problem there is the cost. Hmm.
