I have 3 versions of this light and have been extremely happy with them all over the past 2 years.

I purchased one of these a couple of years ago. Mine flickered too much and I didn't like how it mounts too close to the handlebars.  I need and use this area of the handlebars for other cockpit items.

After purchasing most of the lights sold on Aliexpress, I ended up being the happiest with several of the X-Tiger lights.  My QD-1301 doubles as a battery bank. To date, I have purchased these QD-1301, QD-1101, and QD-1401(Least favorite of these 3.)

I have purchased many different light mounts such that I have various ways to mount a light/s away from my handlebars, so this area if free for other usages.

FYI,  Back in 2021, I went down the route of purchasing Juin Tech GT-P4 cable/hydraulic calipers.  I though they were the way to go and be able to use my existing cable index shifting levers on my gravel bike.  Turns out I was wrong, very wrong.   Although they have great stopping power, I had 2 recurring problems that ended up with me pulling them from the bike and migrating to full hydraulic.

1.  On long descents, the calipers would start to overheat, causing the pistons to expand outward onto the rotors, adding more heat by rubbing.  A few times, I had the brake and rotors completely overheated and locked up.
2.  For me, the recommended pads wore really fast,  I found myself constantly having to adjust the clearance between the pads and the rotor in order to maintain good stopping power.   As the pads wore out,  stopping power relative to brake lever pull quickly became an issue.

Not wanting to be to harsh, I ended up hating them.

Always to long...

I have to admit that I need some help concerning the EDS TX system I am running.   I can't figure out anyway to recover from this problem.

Yesterday, 17 miles from home after climbing a long hill I turned around.  When I tried to shift the rear derailleur, nothing!  I tried the front derailleur. No shifting!   I stopped and pulled up the App.   I could shift the rear derailleur a few gears using the app, and the front wouldn't shift.   I coasted down the hill in a lower gear.  When I stopped,I checked all of the battery levels.  50% rear derailleur, 80% front derailleur, 2.99 volts front derailleur shifter, 2.92 volts rear derailleur shifter.  (I replaced the rear shifter RH lever battery with the spare I carry. )
 This allowed the rear derailleur to shift and I made it home.  (Both lever batteries died at the same time?)   

This morning, I replaced both lever batteries with brand new Duracell ones. (3.3 volts)   Front derailleur light turns green, and I hear the motor buzz, but it wont shift.  The rear derailleur thinks that 5gear is 1gear, and it wont shift any further down to a higher gear.      When the rear derailleur is in the 3gear on the app, it wont shift down to the 1 gear to try to perform an initial calibration because it says the front derailleur has to be in the big ring.  But the front wont shift.   I've spent over a 1/2 hour trying to get the derailleur to move to the actual 1 gear position.     DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO RESET THE REAR DERAILLEUR DOWN INTO THE 1GEAR POSITION?   ANY IDEAS WHY THE FRONT DERAILLEUR WONT SHIFT?   Thanks.

I can't find any recovery features in the current version of the app to be able to manually move the rear derailleur back down to the 1gear (Highest cog on the cassette.)  Am I missing some feature in the App I can't find?   

Hi, I am a cycleholic.  My addiction has existed for over 50 years.   It became much worse in 2015, when I discovered Aliexpress.   I've experienced many intense years of thereputic riding and nothing seems to help.   Perhaps my only way out will be when the $800 De Minimus exemption is eliminated, resulting is a financial reduction in my purchasing power.    I am not looking forward to the associated withdrawals.

Please, don't go down this path of addiction.   It has caused great angst over the years, suffering through many Aliexpress sales, collecting coins, playing the app games, searching out coupons, all for elusive bike frames and parts. Such a wasted life, placing order after order, so I can stay motivated riding in my old age.

Hey guys, which carbon bottle cages do you recommend?

I have 8 of these on 4 different bikes.   My road bike (Bottles have never bounded out.) on 2 hardtails (Only 1 or 2 bottle ejections on super bad impacts)  and on my Full suspension bike. (No ejections yet.)

Depends how hardcore you want to go. The RF25/G056 is more than adequate to handle a few days bike packing in areas here in California like Catalina Island, Death Valley or Joshua Tree. Also I prefer a gravel bike that has more in common with road standards making it easier to swap parts with. I've bumped into a few Japanese cross-country bike tourers and those guys are just on simple Surly steel frames that are fully loaded while towing a cart!

I guess that that "bikepacking" needs to be better defined by the OP.   In the original definition/meaning of "Bikepacking" is an event where the rider is attempting to ride and achieve the BKT.  (Best known time)  The distances are usually 500KM  to 1000KM.  (500 miles is a typical bikepacking distance in the USA.)  The distances have to be long enough that the rider should spend a minimum of 2 nights sleeping somewhere on the course.

These days, the more common meaning of bikepacking in the US has become "any multiday ride you ride where you camp and ride on mixed surface roads, and trails.
- You wrote "bike packing", and to me this is the proper way to write that you are not participating in a timed multiday event.

I can state that this is one reason I have 3 different bikes I can use for rides that require camping.   Gravel, 29er hardtail and my custom TI frame slacker for heavy duty off-road camping and distance riding where comfort is king over speed and weight.  (The 4th sub category of this is known as "CC" multiday riding.  "Credit card" rides where you sleep in hotels, warm showers, hostels and carry a minimal amount of gear on the bike and riding speed is your primary objective to cover long distances.
