TyreFlys & Spoke Lights

Usually this time of year I just jump on the bike, switch on the Cateyes and not really think too much about being really visable from the sides as I head out of town. But with the Bridges ride coming this weekend my thoughts have turned to TyreFlys etc. Does anyone know if any central London bike shops sell them and the Presta valve adapters please? Cheers.

All these valve rim light thingys seem to be schrader - . . . so simply grab an old Presta valve cap (on the left here) . . . .

. . . then fill the schrader bit on the light with some good glue (epoxy if you have any lying around) and stuff the presta cap into the schrader hole bit on the light . . .

let it set . . .

You now have a presta version (here's the one's I did with two part epoxy)

Cheers Tynan, why didn't I think of that?

Don't be so hard on yourself, c'mon man pull yourself together, if not for me, for the children.

tynan.. leave the children out of this.. the restraining order is still effective.

P!MP: Where'd you get your flies from and how much were they?

Tynan: I hear you live in North Drinks catchment area, are we gonna see you there soon?

Hippy: Haven't got any flies yet, except the ones in my jeans.

One day, I have meant to turn up to the Central and North boozefestival but things have always got it the way, I live a deeply complex life involving secret governmental work, hand gliding world championships and cake making.

@ Hippy

You can get them pretty much anywhere, Cycle Surgery in Camden sell them, so try any Cycle Surgey or Evans, places like that, common as muck.

You might also find them in Hamleys (for kids bikes) if you are passing that way.

They don't cost much (£8?) - get the long ones for extra lazer power.

@ Tynan: Cheers for that will go via CS on the way home from work and get some, will be ideal for the Bridges ride this Saturday. You coming to that?

You never know ! Much like having to reverse an origami mistake I will see how things unfold.

Selfridges also sells them there wheel bulbs (down stairs in the Cycle Surgery bit)

Have heard that you are a man of mystery, oh well if you don't cheers for the info :-)

Investing in some red ones, nice one P!MP and good call tynan on modifying them.

Oooh long ones...
