Maxxis Hookworm tires and headlight for night commute.

[chroot]

Hi, I need order couple of Maxxis Hookworm tires and driving in night headlight.

Who sells very cheap Maxxis Hookworm online order??

Which is very good headlight possible HID or Luxeon LED, I work for the UPS at every 3 am in the morning and the Iron Horse trail
(http://www.ebparks.org/parks/trails/iron_horse) has no security light or illumination area. It's pretty very dark in long road. I wouldn't want overrun any object and lead accident.

I almost done building my new first E-Bike.

I don't know about cheap Hookworms, however, I highly recommend the MagicShine P7 headlight. Very bright and well made. I have two on my ebike sharing one battery. I have one in solid mode and one in flashing mode for maximum visibility. There are multiple sources to get them.

From China:

From the USA (generally faster shipping and better service for only $5 more):

The MagicShine lights perform extremely well for the $$$.

that depends on the model. there is a singleply hookwoorm for $29 from several places on google. But the tripple ply tires are the ones that are worth having. the best deal may be getting a bike shop to order them. tire cost would be the same as online but you save the shipping cost. $45 a piece or so.

@ambroseliao - Thank for the link!


@Drunkskunk - My Ebike runs 26 inches wheels, I never heard of 3 ply tires. Sound very interesting and I bet the 3 ply is heavier weight. Is that reason less chance flat tire?

Get a really good light. I thought mine was fine, till the black dressed guy on foot appeared in my path too late to dodge him. No seeing him till I was hitting him and going flying. I was going 27 mph at the time, so I was not seeing far enough ahead for that speed.

Hookworms are disgusting I am surprised they are able to sell them. I mean, the name DOES sound cool, and I'm sure they are a very quality product... but they're lucky it doesn't make people think about parasites in their intestines. Or wherever it is hookworms go.

I have both types of hookworm, the multi ply tyre has this label printed on them as well...

I've seen a magic shine headlight on one of thewmatusmoloki's bikes, they are damn bright alright, easily outdo my dual P4's, but the beam is too wide for my liking cos the angle wasn't adjustable, not nice for oncoming traffic and pedestrians. It is the goods for lighting up the surroundings though, about 60 deg if I remember correctly. I prefer the 20w brilliantine halogen 35 deg modules myself, I think he said he did too when I asked.
