Since this was brought up in another thread, wanted to ask about this light. How is the beam pattern? And what is the battery life like? Am thinking of adding a second light to my "winter beater" and would purchase this light from Riv if the pattern and longevity are good. (Hopefully this is Ri

The difference is in the cutouts. As regards price, Rich makes excellent wheels and I am very impressed the quality of his work. You'd be hard pressed to save a meaningful amount of money elsewhere, and would likely sacrifice quality. I also believe he'll lace a wheel with a normal phil hub if you

Somebody will (or maybe already has) give you a more thorough, scientistical answer than mine, because I'm not picky, nor am I very knowledgeable about the particulars of lights. But I do own a couple of EOS's and I like them. (for the most part). I've commuted happily with them in both town
