Nah, we won't need lights said he
Yes we will said I
Later really dark darkness ensued, a pattern on our recent rides
My light's not much good, let's take this descent, it's fast but safer than the boghole route said I
OK he said
You go first so I can see where you go said I
Off he went. Like a little Ozzie bullet down the fast freshly surfaced path where speeds can hit 30mph without too much problem.

My preferred choice of brake lever is Avid, not Islabike
The best Avids for my little delicate hands are 1.9's, the later levers are nice but these are nice with V brakes but seem almost made for discs, well cable discs like my BB5's and 7's . They work great.
