My finger's still somewhat painfull. No way can I go off-road, one badly placed fall and I reckon I'd be back to square one.
Managed to do a basic test of the Ay Up's in the park. They're dead impressive, how can such little things pack so much punch?! The mount isn't fab, but then you can't get much lighter than a zip tie eh?
Couldn't wait to try them out so I did my work commute in the dark. I had to be a bit imaginative with splinting my weak finger. I finished up using a piece of plastic cut from a washing machine waste pipe holder and strapping it to the outside of my glove. I felt a bit clumsy riding with it, but at least it was protected.
The ride went well. The first thing I noticed was that cars treat you like another car. With the helmet light you have to be careful about where you look, especially as you pass pedestrians!! Comments like "they're bright!!" abounded as I passed people. So, a word of warning if you're thinking of getting off-road lights - they can be embarrassingly bright in public places!!
