I'd be worried that those lights are so low to the ground, that they might not be seen.

Maybe you already use one, but I'd supplement those front axle lights with some sort of helmet mounted light, such as...

Yes that is a consideration. I tried putting them higher up on the holes for a bottle cage on the forks. As they're carbon forks the threaded inserts are recessed in a bit (maybe 5mm) and the screws I had weren't long enough. At the moment we don't really need light here in Scotland so there's no rush. I really mostly use them off road anyway.

Thanks.

Bolts in standard sizes (guessing those are M4 or M5) are cheap as chips, like 6 or 7 quid for a 10 pack on ebay.

Decal set for my GT BMX build. £38 including postage from Australia - from one of very few: licensed sellers of replacement GT decals. So quality should be ace. And they are £15 cheaper all-in than from the UK 🤦‍♂️
