Two nights ago I took off for a nice 70 mile ride that took me through portions of San Diego, and then darker, undeveloped areas along Hwy 76, then Hwy 395 (Del Dios Highway too!).
When it came to those darker stretches of curving roads, the low beam just does not inspire one's confidence on unfamiliar roads. I had it on high beam every chance I had, and that was great, but I always flip it to low before it nails a car coming into view. During those short stretches, parts of the road ahead seem to just fall off the face of the planet. Even at 45-50, I'd hate to find something in the road at an inopportune moment.
Has anyone played with the height of the beam? Has it bought you much? Has anyone done it successfully without aiming it high enough to bother the oncoming traffic?
