Think I might go for the Hornit instead..though the Hornit mini police and fire engine sounds looks interesting...imagine blasting that down the road...

Yup agreed. I tie that bottle under the downtube. The handle bar unit is quite large too. Can't imagine having it on the roadbike. But the plus point is that it should be loud enough for drivers, cocooned within their airconditioned vehicle, to be able to hear it. Maybe unless the sound proofing is very good. So far, had not heard which electronic horn having such loudness.

some of the gd ones are really loud, more than 120db iirc
hornit is abt 140+db i think?

i remember reading somewhere that there's a legal limit for such devices tho, think cannot be more than 150 or 160db?

Moon X Power 600

Hello everyone,

Some time back, a few of us bought the Moon X Power 600. (from FSC) I would like to know if anyone has attempted to change/replace its battery?

TIA for replies.

Hello,

Has anyone used the Fenix BC30? Does the light affect the reading of the Cateye wireless speedometer?

TIA for replies.

There should be a slot behind the torch. Use a coin to turn it. Dont have 600 but got 500 at my shop.
Yes, cateye computer quite sensitive. May affect reading. Try to place all electrical stuff further away from the computer

My roadie is using wireless cateye. You need to pass me the fenix BC30 so that they can be put together to test if the fenix light interfers with the wireless cateye.

SmilingDevil, I have removed the battery with a coin as you have mentioned. But the batter (which I believe is a 18650 cell) is sealed within a case. I want to replace the cell myself.

Thank you for your comments, SmilingDevil.

For some unknown reason, some very fine ants decided to make the gaps under the new bartape of my road bike their home. One whole line of ants crawling yp the bike stand onto the chain stay, along the downtube and up the dropbar into place where the brake cable goes under the bartape. Now dunno how to ride that bike. Wait ride halfway, ants starts crawling up my arms and bite me.
Strangely, my other 2 bikes parked beside it have no attraction to the ants.
Just replaced these bartapes and had not had a single ride with them yet.
