    Good info Gunch, i love my trinewt on the handlebar, but at times it would be nice to have a helmet lite to complement it. The trinewts a li'l heavy for a helmet light on long night rides. Sounds like You're saying magicshine is the one to get?

    Believe in yourself? Well sure, of course. But be aware that "believing in myself" has been the root cause of most of my injuries.

    Yep. If you go with the "racers special" you get a helmet mount and extra battery for $125. It's worth it just for the extra battery. If you don't like the quality of the helmet mount you can get the helmet mount for the Seca at lightandmotion.com. That is the mount I use. I used the light for about 45 min - 1 hr last time and it didn't give me any neck pain. The light head of the Magicshine is the 110 grams compared to 216 of the TriNewt. That .23 lbs of difference could definitely be the difference of a sore neck or not. Try it out. It could be the helmet light you use for the 24 hours of Moab you could do as a duo with your favorite Golden, CO living friend... just sayin'.

    If I do 24 hours of Moab, I'm either doing it alone or as a foursome- that duo stuff is for the birds, I barely get calmed down and cold and I gotta go again- to hell with that!! We need 2 more doods.
