DT Swiss RR 1850 Wheel Rear 24 hole - 30 mm Section Rim

Advantages: Lightweight, strong, precise, fast
Disadvantages: hopeless police (lack of) effort against stolen bikes

...wheel in contact with the ground more often. Then, later on in the travel, the rear wheel moves forward towards the bottom bracket, shortening the effective chainstay length. This is supposed to eliminate the upward "bounce" motion associated with each stroke of the pedal. Compared with the new brain type inteeligent systems, this works better. You can feel the rear wheel being pushed down into the ground on bumps. Parts include Shimano XT shifters and derailleurs, WTB Rocket V saddle, Momentum Comp headset and Moto Raptor 2.1 tires. Easton Monkeylite bars with a slight rise clamp to the FSA XC 120 Alloy stem and RockShox SID Team fork. DT Swiss Onyx disc-ready hubs lace to Mavic 225 rims, and finally, Hayes hydraulic disc brakes. I thinks the Mount Vision is only available in black. The XTR rapid fire shifters are great in that when you... Read review

Advantages: Such a simple idea - nothing to remember or buy batteries for
Disadvantages: Setting clearances of magnets is fiddly

...they get. I'm thinking that my Brompton folding bike is NOT a candidate as I don't fancy chancing 15 quid's worth of front light to being 8 inches off the ground. There are other reasons why a small-wheeled bike can't use these too. Since the spokes taper together towards the rim, the magnets wouldn't come close enough to work. A typical adult-sized bike wouldn't be a problem though. The brackets to which the lamps are fitted have slotted holes to allow for several mm of sideways adjustment, to allow for the light to be clamped within the optimum distance from the passing magnets. There is only one tiny bit more of installation to do before the Reelights are ready to roll, and that's to clamp the magnets to the right spot on your spokes to come close enough to the light (1-3 mm according to Reelight's packaging) without fouling it.
