Finally got round to building the Ali-Express hub/light, just in time for the clocks to change this weekend. After a while of head-scratching why the light wasn't working, only a tiny flicker at low rpm, finally twigged the light provided is DC (it works when connected to a battery) and hub is AC (works with an other AC dynamo headlight I have). ....if purchasing factor into cost, either a converter, or an AC headlight!
Quality is ok, although after a while of bedding in, the hub became loose, and needs tightening ...by hand. There's no lock-nuts, and as far as I can tell, relies on being set up correctly, then held there by skewer.

Appreciated Hippy, on the cusp of ordering both the Fly and Apeman and going full gadgetman. Plan is to recoup all costs with You've Been Framed rewards and YouTube ad revenue.

Right, I've had enough.
This morning's commute; Taxi reversing at speed (me stationary, jumped out the way with my bike to avoid being crushed) then blaming me saying his driving was allowed and I was in the wrong, followed by builder-van overtaking/cutting me (no wing mirror, hammered the side of his van which was pushing me into parked cars, he then got agro, gave chase up a cycle-bollarded road), followed by left hook at junction around 3 cyclists....
@hippy how are you getting on with your Fly? Or did you try that Apeman you linked to? Any other recommendations?

ahhhhhh don't do this! I'm super happy with it, just been out on it this morning :) You can borrow it if you want?!

Last night I saw a Peugeot (car!) blast through a red-lighted junction at probably 50mph in Pimlico. Surreal to see someone driving that recklessly and irresponsibly. I hope something really fucking terrible happened to them, like locking themselves out of online banking. They deserve it.

@Hulsroy the pic is of the older Classic Softshells (great winter jacket, leatherette shoulder panel, was wearing one this morning), not the current Winter Jacket (also great, slightly lighter, seam-sealed, different membrane). Just trying to help avoid confusion over which jacket you have? :)

Woof. hell of a read. Wonder if any of those targeted are now off the rails and motivated to violence? If only there was some way to check....
