    Hot weather mountain bike light recommendations please

    Brad, thanks for your reply and my apologies for not getting back to you sooner. I've decided to buy one of Trouties Dominator lights and then reprogramme it to back it off to prevent it constantly over heating. However I have always had a bit of a plan for a housing to try and maximise...
