    been hearing a some good comments from people on other forums about them. All the brightness of previous lights without such a small hotspot as it uses two emitters.

    I'm pretty sorted lighting wise but have been tempted to get one my self as back up in case one breaks and I need a replacement quick.

    Whats the worst that could happen?

    That is the light I have just bought and they are great... On high it is bright enough to ride like you would in the day time off road. The medium power setting is good enough for me and the battery on mine lasted just under 3 hours on the medium setting. Low power is fine for road work if there are some street lights. I am really impressed with mine.

  • I was thinking of them for the Road bike, so this might be a good choice.

    Well done that man!

    I'm working on the basis that I should only upgrade parts which are broken or perform poorly. So I've ordered some more of these. Though it can be 'fun' to guess what's ahead, I don't enjoy crashing!

    Getting old is cr@p :(

    I'm telling myself I need a new one after head planting on a rock garden but the old one hasn't got any damage that I can see....WTF, you only live once.

    You don't need to justify it to yourself - you can't always see helmet damage, best to replace after an impact.

    I feel better already :) Not so much justifying the helmet itself, but I didn't have to break the piggy bank quite so badly...

    I know it makes me very bad indeed but I have to admit to laughing a very great deal at that. Sorry :oops:

    Did I mention it made me laugh a lot. Brilliant

    You still would though, although what happens if one was well up for it but the other wasn't, would it be rape or not?

    Is this what they call a 'double header' ?

    It's brilliant. I only rode the red and (mainly) the blue but they were excellent fun, I didn't like the very first bit of the red with the steep berms. The place is a bike killer though, people were doing running repairs all over the place. One bloke lost a tooth.

    Loving the work. I went on a date with a Siamese the other day, my mate asked "did you have sex?", I said "well I did and I didn't"

    Well, not so much sex, but I did give her a pearl necklaces.

    Well just a thought, if it sat on its left hand would it feel like the right hand sister was tugging you off?

    Anyway they don't call it "sex" they call it "brainstorming".......because they put their heads together and see what comes up
