Does anyone know about pedals compatibility for the gro republic. I've heard that m520s don't fit

Please give some feedback when you get a chance. Did you get the fast charge version? Where did you buy and care to say how much?
Highly rated at Bike Light Database but I'd love to hear your experience on charge/burn time, if it throws enough light for seriously fast riding in suburbia, etc.
I'm looking at the Urban 850 and would really like to combine it with the Vis 360+ helmet mounted lamp for summertime night cruising.

Love my light and motion for its awesome beam pattern/brightness, but the battery stinks and it heats up quite a bit. Lacks vents.

He probably means it doesn't last long, but I bet you figured that. With big bright lamps like that expect to charge them. They aren't little handlebar blinkies.

Battery only lasts about an hour and a half on high for the 800, but I don't think I'll be needing high unless I'm descending. I usually keep the magicshine clone I have now on low unless I'm going over 25mph because most of the streets I ride have streetlights.

I would say the 800 is a bit overkill for most road riding but it will throw some good light but because of size there are battery limitations and maybe not enough cooling (though that is the case I think with many high powered small packaged lights)

It actually does have a slight odor when it heats up. But what I meant was that the battery doesn't last long when compared to Cygolites.
The new pedals are for the road bike, which used to also have 520s, which is a big no no

Didn't buy from them but they do have nice photos:
as well as some stuff for the new touring bike and a Nitto seatpost and IRD freewheel for the Cilo!
Wanted to do a little love on the drivetrain on the Langster and I had bought a DID Track blah blah blah chain a while back just in case and now my old chain is getting a wee bit worn and the whole thing is a touch noisy so I thought "go for it, you ride it a bunch so it is money well drained"
Bye bye money in the bank!

Decided to go with the Patriotic theme and purchased the wheels off CL, new ring, changed the cable housing from black to white, had NOS Bennotto blue tape and installed. Just installed fix sprocket and lock ring, also swapped pedals and purchased cleats for them.
