The mount SUCKS. Oh, and you have to rig something up to keep the superflash from falling off the bike. The mount SUCKS.

Both nice and bright. I have a planet bike superflash on the geared bike seatpost. OBNOXIOUS bright. Great for riding alone or sweep, but when I've ridden with others who use it, it is kind of a pain to ride behind. I have some trek cheapo light as a 2nd on that bike. Redundency is your friend. Redundency is your friend. Head- I'm loving the new dinotte 600 LED. Bright enough for offroad and on. I keep a cateye 500 also. Long life, not so good on downhills, you can outrun the light. Some folks use two of these and seem to like them fine. Of course, none of these lights are any good at all when you forget what weekend the big ride is and miss it... Duh.

I'm also in the process (still) of getting the generator front wheel and light from Jim Johnson who bought the other Castro Valley from FIX. Then I can run that on any bike I wanna....most likely the fixie. Which will one day be the dream build that it's in the mail right now.
