:shock: How big are they ! but if they are anything like the light I got from DX then they will be bright !

Hey Maloo....is this the one you got ?

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.25149

If so how is it.......i believe it comes with a u.s. plug......how did you get round that ?

Can you recommend ??

Yeah thats he one, its cheap and does the job. Some people have had problems with them and the chargers. My charger stopped working so I had to order another charger from a site in the US but I ordered a spare battery at the same time so I could have enough battery to last a 24hr race. Batterys last about 3hrs on full

Whats it like in comparison to a hope vision one (i have one of these)

maloo

i got a hope vision one as well and he DX light is much brighter. I usually ride with the DX light on my bars and the hope one on my helmet and that combo is much brighter than the Hope 2 Light that my friends have.

maloo

Actually I will see if I got some pics of the differrences

I've just had come today comfirmation about my entry to the Chain Reaction Cycles marathon in Ruthin for the 18th - 19th september, lucky for me just going to do the short course.

What have i let myself in for

Oh dear Mick......i have just had a look at the hill you have to climb, Moel Famau on google earth 3d.........':shock:'

Having said that i might join you...........':shock:'

Are you thinking of staying overnight or a day trip ??

i'm thinking of staying over night but might consider a day trip

OK mick your'e on...i'll join you in the shorty, after all when we did the peaks ride we climbed 2 hills both over 1000ft so i guess this shorty can't be all that bad and i'm already better at climbing now than i was then.

I wonder if anyone else in our group would fancy doing it ??

Cue people.........?????

I think Caz is going to join me as she's doing the Grassington one

maloo

Just a note to say I'll be doing the North Face trail at Grizedale on Sunday and if anyone would like to join me, they are more than welcome
Caz xx

ratty2k

Been lurking for a good while, so time to say hello....
Interested in some of the rides, especially the Peak ones, as thats where I do the majority of my riding...
Ladybower loop is always good, and with Whinstone Lee torr now dry even more fun! Last rocky drop behind the pub is a right laugh! 8)
Jacobs ladder starting from Barber booth near Edale is a cracking route, 15 miles but touggh and some proper challenges on the downs....
Caz, if you do go the NFT, do some of the natural stuff in the forest, sooooo much better than the NFt alone!

On that note, if anyone would like a ride on the NFt and natural I'd be happy to show folks what I know, IIRC its a 13 miler with some brilliant descents.

sparrowlegs78

Ratty,
I've only been once before and I'm going alone so I'd get hopelessly lost if I went off piste lol :oops:
Caz xx

kangaroo

Caz do you want to borrow my hardtial fo the cannock ride

ratty2k

Haha, fair enough!
There is a hell of a lot of stuff worth riding in the forest, the route we have starts in Hawkshead, (park on the school playground) up into the NFT, last few bits of the NFT, and down to the VC.
Then on up the first climb if you were doing just the NFT, IIRC 2 more bits and then the rest is all bridleways. 8) 8)
Very very good ride, and one I dont do often enough TBH... Also need to do some more exploring up there, as I reckon we're only scratching the surface of whats legally ridable...

Blimey Roo......i wonder how it started? it looks like it was well spread out from your vid.

kangaroo

it was us lot doing a hot lap lol

no not really i dont know, but it was next to a stream that goes though there

rottitera02

Hope it didn't affect any of the trails.

It wasn't phoebian doing a fiery air was it.........he goes that fast i think he burns rubber....''

kangaroo

fortunately its the other side of the chase from the official trails and there arnt many wild trails in that area

rottitera02

i woudn't have thought that the sun would have been strong enough today to cause it....maybe it was a bunch of scallywags.......
