Found: Innos Flat Bars w/ Integrated LED Lighting System

That’s about a hundred people’s idea. And not an incredible one, IMO. I feel like a stem faceplate-mounted light would be more clean. Would drilling weaken the bar considerably?

Cool, let me just drill some holes in this high stress area so my little lights can shine through.

My 9-y-o nephew wants this bar; don’t think he’ll overstress it. Guess I’ll have to go to the other website to search for the $damage$.

Dang that was my idea too! lol

Mine too.. 😀

“Cool, let me just drill some holes in this high stress area so my little lights can shine through.”

I mean, there are ways of designing/reinforcing holes properly and analyzing them for stress and fatigue to make sure they don’t cause problems. Although I’d be fine with a sturdy metal light that attached to my handlebars or fork in a way that it couldn’t be pulled off by punks (like several of my plastic lights have) easily.

BTW, is there some tool needed to get into the battery compartment? Otherwise, those things are gone in about 30 minutes. My metro station is right near a middle school. Those kids are enterprising.

Hmmm… Maybe I have a much shorter commute or something, but it seems like my rechargeable AAA batteries for my Cateye last months before I need to worry about them.

BTW, try Eneloop rechargeables. They are awesome. Way way better than Energizer and such, particularly if you spend a few bucks on an intelligent charger.

I actually have a generator hub on my Novara Transport. I should try to wire it up to the batteries to trickle charge them during use. Maybe I would almost never need to recharge then. Unfortunately, the light that came with the gen hub was ripped off by punks within weeks of getting that bike.
