The PB brackets hold those lights in very securely.Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-55483741561500533052009-12-13T09:57:25.860-06:002009-12-13T09:57:25.860-06:00Filigree - The 530 is the only one of four Cateye ...Filigree - The 530 is the only one of four Cateye head lights I own that has jiggled. I've had problems with two other Cateye head lights. In one case, a halogen Cateye would die after 10-15 minutes of operation even with fresh batteries. Tweaking contacts did not cure the problem. The second problem was with the HL-EL520 which was simply a poor design. It would not accept rechargeable batteries, unlike the 530 will.<br /><br />I have not had problems with any of the three Cateye tail lights I own. No two have the same bracket which keeps PB as my first choice at that end of the bike. BTW, bending the switch on the Superflash seems to have restored its sense of responsibility.Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-3097976217446581382009-12-13T00:41:35.495-06:002009-12-13T00:41:35.495-06:00Regarding the Cateye lights: weird, weird weird.

I have used these lights on 4 very different bikes, and my husband on an additional 3. There has been zero jiggle on any of them, zero problems. I wonder what accounts for our different experiences.<br /><br />Re the Planet Bike lights: I have heard so many people now complain about these lights malfunctioning in various ways, that honestly I am weary of them.Velouriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00359329171411037482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-24872410240064372952009-12-11T15:51:29.188-06:002009-12-11T15:51:29.188-06:00Brilliant!!!

It was difficult to remove though.Big Oakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06713190395281794960noreply@blogger.com
