    Quite pleased with my Aldi camera light thing. The footage is OK in the day and good if you ride in a group - attack on a hill and you'll see the grimaces as people try to hold your wheel.
    Battery life was nowhere near the 6 hours promised but that could be user error. I shall try again.
    Someone said it loops like the Fly6 ? It doesn't - so you'll need a bigger SD card. Or ride really fast.

    It stopped before the 8Gb went full ! But according to the website = http://www.quesh.co.uk/products/?product_id=461

    No continual loop record function available on this model.

    Looks a pretty good deal...Shame about the Avid brakes though

    Some good discounts at La Passione's Now or Never sale. Picked up some bibs, mid-season gloves and threw in some socks to get free delivery..

    I wonder if that's in one go - my commute is 30-40 mins - so never going to fill a card - but I deliberately haven't cleared the card between rides and the older files have been overwritten once the card gets full ...

    Fortunately, larger cards aren't expensive so it's not much to replace the 8Gb with something with a bit more storage.

    I've run a set of Avid BB5s on my hardtail mtb for about 11 or 12 years.

    Can't fault them, they've been excellent, virtually maintenance free, good stopping power and nice lever feel. If you can get over the snobbery they're perfectly fit for purpose.

    I absolutely hated my BB7s, they were a constant source of grief on my touring bike. Switching to Spyres made all the difference!

    A second hand 60cm Koga Kimera Premium with Ultegra Di2 for £10k and rising :shock:

    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    I didn't know this - if you have Strava Premium, you can get a code for $20 off a $100 wiggle order. Just got £15.71 off an order. https://www.strava.com/premium/perks

    Nice - even works on a premium free trial!
    But I'm not going to spend 100 at wiggle... no, no no... no?

    Garmin Forerunner 935 Tri Bundle is currently £499.98 at Wiggle... about £90 cheaper than anywhere else at the moment.

    It's only 100USD you need to spend - after your increased platinum or gold discount. So basically it's £90 worth of stuff for £60. It's almost stupid not to.

    Don't know how legal these are, but for commuters out there they may be useful...

    Why wouldn’t they be legal?
    Bigger problem for me is how visible they’d be from affixing to the front brake calliper...

    i think the main issue is that a driver doesn't see a red flashing light on the back of a bike and think that they are braking, don't really see what good they do.

    What's good jersey to wear over a base layer for early mornings and 5pm rides home? I've got a very warm Aldi top that's fits me well and is a perfect warmth for cold winter but top hot for another 2 months.

    I'm 6'5"tall, slim-ish and don't want skin tight but not loose neither. Good pockets too. Budget is as cheap as possible. I've seen so many on Evans website including their FWE LTR jerseys. Are they any good?

    Around here you would be happy if the light meant the coffin-dodging driver saw you at all... Apparently a 15 stone 6'5" man wearing a fluorescent jacket (the level of fluorescence that makes your eyes do a double take) astride a bike with both steady & flashing rear light is no guarantee of visibility...

    Off topic MoL but your my height and I'm only a bit lighter. Two points really your name isn't right IMHO second point, what jacket do you use this time of year?

    Reason for asking, see my above post for jersey suggestions.

    No, trust me, it's right - generally I don't wear a jacket until it's well below 5°C (prefer to add base layer) - unless it's absolutely tipping down, then on goes the Endura Pakajak (or whatever it's called). Jacket wise, I tend to wear an Endura Roubaix jobbie (had it for so long I have no idea what it is...) but only in that niche between 5°C and there being ice on the roads...

    Just searched for it and Evans s came up at £28 for men's. What's strange is the women's version costs £10 more. Usually women's stuff is sold for less I thought. Certainly in hiking clothes.

    For a Pakajak? Evans is showing me £18 (Rutland & JEJames less)
