This light is so nuts. It's bright ASF. I also prefer it over projection style headlights that use magnification optics. This light bar has consistent light distribution and just looks bad ass. They have smaller versions of this light if this one is too big. I'm using a carbon fiber bike stem computer mount to hold it. I'd probably recommend using the 2 handlebar clamps that also come with this light if you want total stability.

I tested that lamp today on Ride. I agree with you that the light is amazing — the battery indicator doesn’t lie. Before the ride, at 98%, it showed around 7h20min on the “lowest mode,” and after a 2-hour ride, it shows just under 5h20. The light doesn’t heat up at all either — it stays as cool as it was before turning it on.

I have it mounted using those two brackets, but because of that, I don’t have space for my Wahoo computer. I see that you’ve got yours mounted under the holder — do you find it stable when riding on gravel in the forest, sometimes over small bumps?

By the way, off the topic of the light — what bar tape do you have on your bike, and what’s that handlebar bag? :)

Since I'm using a carbon fiber computer mount, it seems to absorb shock quite well. Also I find I can loop the nylon cords from my bar bag to give it slightly more stability. My handle bars have just enough space to add the 2 clamps, but it'll interfere with my phone mount, so I opted for the 1 clamp mount under the computer.

I'm currently using Serfas cork bar tape on all my bikes (bought from US Amazon). This bar tape has excellent elasticity, durability and it's easy to clean with a cloth and alcohol spray. The backing has non-residual adhesive that's easy to remove using a blowdryer or heat gun. I've transferred the bar tape several times over from different handlebars and they still look like-new.

Also I'm using an Enlee bar bag (can be found on AliExpress). The bag casing holds it shape even when empty and the straps are gummy on one side so they don't slip. I use this bag on both my gravel bikes.

Here's a quick video with the light. For city use, I would consider the 4 LED version for more light modes and reduced weight. The 17 LED version works best for serious off-grid riding and power bank capabilities. Amazingly, even with rough trail conditions, on my carbon mount computer mount, vibration is really kept to a minimum and seems very secure.

I have a bunch of these.  FYI, I've had problems with these where the rivets that hold the rotor to the inner rotor adapter kiss my brake caliper adapters.  On 2 of my bikes I had to grind/sand down my caliper adapters by about 1/2 a millimeter in order to get the rivets to have a gap between the adapter.   My caliper adapters are black, so I used a sharpie to cover the raw aluminum.  When the bikes are clean, you can see the mod to the caliper adapters.

It's probably dependent on which brake calipers you're using. I've used them on GRX, Zrace XG, LTwoo calipers with no issue. Also they do come in 6 bolt, so maybe using a 6 bolt to CL adapter would be better with post mount calipers. The actual braking on these disc are very good, especially for the price. Both my gravel bikes use 180mm disc mount forks, and for off-road I'm never going to 160mm fronts!

I had one of these rotors that would rub/warp when hot (after long sustained braking) - I never figured it out as by the time I looked at the rotor it would cool enough to stop rubbing. Eventually it stopped - I wonder if it was a rivet that was hitting and eventually sellf clearanced the adapter...

Anyone tried this handlebar? Weight is supposed to be extremely low!

New spider power meter from Leoseek. USB-C rechargable. Very cheap price (for now) - no idea on accuracy.

EOM030 has a picture of 3-bolt interface but in the description it says that it's easton interface.
It's pretty cheap if it works but there's 0 info about it anywhere. I could only find some post on facebook with the correct pictures of easton compatible one so it does exist it seems

These looks dangerously light for that price. I wouldn't risk it unless you are below 60 kilos
