If that helps I could start an interesr thread for i.e. A Zirconium Rotary, a Titanium Clicky and a Nickel Bronze light like I did for the NB27 some time ago!
I take offense at this comment...All you need is a dremel to cut and sand, and some redneck.
I doubt there is any hope of my finding it. It would be akin to winning the lottery. Not to mention that searching while riding would be almost impossible since it's a fairly technical trail that requires concentration if you don't want to wreck.Man that stinks! 😕 Sounds like a good excuse for another bike ride.
I've found too many 'impossible to find' items over the years to even consider not going back. Hope you change your mind. Only one thing is sure, if you don't go, you won't find it.Lost my many years old cool white Rotary on a bike ride. I suppose I could have gone back slowly over the trail and searched for it...
This is the way.I've found too many 'impossible to find' items over the years to even consider not going back. Hope you change your mind. Only one thing is sure, if you don't go, you won't find it.

Not really.
I like a happy ending. One of my best finds was losing my favorite Benchmade knife in the snow when I was breaking trail, then it lightly snowed for the next couple days before I could get back to where I'd had to use it whittling a small stick for the emergency starting hookup on the snowmachine clutch.I would go look for it. I lost two items on two separate 40 mile long bike rides within the past year - my speedometer and the battery cage for my Fenix handlebar light. I went back for both and found both.
Glad you went and tried, and maybe on subsequent trips you'll take a look at a couple of those tumble prone areas. Then again, it might also be worth posting a lost and found anywhere you can locally. I found some Airpods last year and put a lost and found ad up in hopes of finding the owner, and you might get lucky that way too.For all I know, it fell off into a creek as I was riding over one of the many narrow bridges, or it tumbled down a slope and into the thick brush and fallen leaves that line the trail.
I think the only way I might have any chance of finding it would be to walk the trail and spend hours slowly searching inch by inch, and ain't nobody got time for that. I ride the trail once or twice a week, so who knows, maybe one of these days it will miraculously catch my eye.
I do not have ever read that somone did this. Maybe the throw increase, but the great light color will suffer. The NB30-NB40 have a almost perfect color over the complete beam (inner to outer). Only the NB45 has a difference in the beam in the inner to outer area.Hello everyone, I'm wondering and haven't been able to find much info on this specific topic. Has anyone dedomed their 219b emitters in the rotary? If you have, what was the outcome?
Hey man! Thanks for the prompt answer! I was genuinely wondering as some of the sw40's I've had, have been a tad green to my eye. Not as bad as sst20 4000k but still. Thanks again, don't plan on messing with it at this time.I do not have ever read that somone did this. Maybe the throw increase, but the great light color will suffer.

Removing the dome will result in ugly beam colors. At least that is what I expect. And that would be a pity for that great LED Options.

I've sliced my 351D and High Noon. Hotspot is now much more intense and Duv lowered significantly and without any artifacts in the beam.Hey man! Thanks for the prompt answer!

I went back out and looked today. I didn't expect to find it, and I didn't.
I saw that but waited too long... While today the choice is small, a few weeks ago every flavor of 219b was offered. You snooze, you lose, unless we decide to get more in.
I mainly use the handle bar mount when I'm on the road and want to maximize my visibility to motorists, so it's not something that will get much use in rough and tumble off-road riding. That said, it probably would have been fine if I had taken a moment to cinch the velcro tighter, or if I had attached the light in the narrow midsection where the head and the tail would have prevented it from sliding out from the strap. Best of all would be if I had simply remembered to remove it and put it in my pocket before hitting the trail.How painful. At least you know that it will survive the elements while it waits to be rediscovered. I'm curious to know if this experience changes or reinvents your handle bar mount.
