 What about LED Valvetips? Can anyone make an actual comparison of visibility on the road. I really think I can put my money on them valvetips....but a want an expert opinion.

 I had some that came free with a mag, they were quite bright but were activated by large vibrations so on smooth sections of tarmac they gave out no light at all!
I also found that the one on the front was a bit of a distraction to the eye

 The centripedal force should activate them, as they spin around 2 bits of metal that come into contact when this happens.
I find the rear one distracts me, never tried on the front, just keep seeing a light out of the corner of my eyes and looking around expecting to see another bike.

 centripedal force
Eh? WTF is that? A force for creatures with many legs?
|

 Bugger, beat me to it CTS, I was gonna say that!
Centrifugal Dylan...

|
Great minds, Nick! :-)

 >>Centrifugal Dylan...
actually its Centripetal. Centrifugal is a virtual force.
"A centripetal force is that by which bodies are drawn or impelled, or any
way tend, towards a point as to a center". so says the man Newton.

 *shudders at the thought of the centripetal force*
that topic was too long
|

 Public schools eh Dylan ;)

 Yep, no such thing as centrifugal force. It was invented for simple people and children. There is no force outward... if you were to swing a weight around your head, you force the weight in (change direction). If you didn't it would fly off at a tangent (in the direction it was last headed), not straight out (from the centre).
|
|
 What is the force that throws me off the bike in random directions, unrelated to the direction I was last headed?
|
|
Yay, I'm a simple person!
