tends to dazzle other cyclists and/or drivers

Fair enough, hadn't thought of that.

@PhilDAS I have a single secula on the seatstay and a flashing thing clipped to the carradice when around town. My bikes that have a rear rack have one mounted there too because why not (and I had them hanging around).

It probably won't kill you but why bother?

#ChannelingTheInnerTester

If you're going for two then one low/one high may be a better combo than one either side.
I think @coldharbour has mounted those B&M lights onto the rear of a saddle before which could be even better for getting something high.
I only suggest it because there are situations where a low light can be obscured.

You may want something a little higher if you can...

Yes, totally doable.
Wire them in parallel. You'll need a soldering iron to do it properly, maybe a heat gun (read: hot hairdryer) too for some heatshrink.

Where/how will you mount them?

Worth checking out 3-man tents too, normally a tiny weight penalty and the extra space is always useful.

B&M IQ2 Eyc T Senso+ (catchy name huh)
Tiny light, great for london roads

People will also suggest the AXA light the name of which I can't remember.

For the rear, B&M Secula in either mudguard or seatstay flavour. If you have a rack you can run one on there as well and if you like soldering it's easy enough to make the rack (and light) removable without mega-faff.

The Tektro ones aren't bad... There's snazzy TRP RRL ones if you fancy.

Shimano fc-6603 is good if you want that triple loving with HT2 ease.
5-arm crank, 74/130 mm BCD, 45 mm chainline for middle ring.
Available in any colour as long as it's silver .

If you really must have black then fc-5703 has all the same things but looks meh.

Nice front rack ;)

I just get pissed off seeing them lying by the road. That and nitrous oxide canisters...

Seconded, plus he's forum

You can use the original Carradice bags with an SQR too. It hangs like it's mounted on the saddle but you can get it a little higher and obviously is removable.

If I remember your bike right it has Tektro RL340 levers so would work well with the CX8.4

Or, get some RL520 levers and run full V-brakes for full winning.

Also what is the best / user-friendly mp3-player for android?

I use poweramp and have done for many years. They're one of the few apps that will sort by album artist as well as artist (useful for compilations etc).

FWIW, I have CX90s running with 6700 levers and they're fine albeit slightly binary. I think the CX84 were put out specifically to play nice with SRAM/Campag (CX90 had too much mechanical advantage for them) as well as tone things down a bit for the Shimano crowd. Plus added rim clearance.

@mashton it does also matter what brake levers you have - Shimano have had a few different 'standards' over the years that are slightly different from the 'standards' that campag and sram have.
(not-so-)mini-Vs like a CX90 (with 90mm arms) won't be good with campag/sram but will work fine with newer shimano (mostly 10spd+). The slightly shorter CX84 (84 mm arms, similar to Tektro 926AL and Shimano) work well with all of them.

9th is a new moon, should be fine if you have good lights though. That date is fine with me either way

They're an official thing, great find though coz they're expensive and very useful!

Tektro 926AL

Good for the price, but the difference when you try the (more rigid) TRP/Shimano brakes is very clear.

#makethetriplegreatagain

It does exist, but it requires the right hardware at both ends (ie router and phone) plus the service provider. If you phone can do VoWiFi on the tube platforms (where the routers do support it) then you stand a chance. If that doesn't work, stick with skype.

Classic topology fail

Suggestions for the date are appreciated - otherwise it'll be 26th August.

Seen at UCL yesterday, looks pretty on here...
