Just been for my first night ride (Loved it) but noticed somehow my rear light came off along the way.
So I'm looking for a new one, Around about £20 and ideally quick delivery.
Any ideas of which from where?

For £20 you can get 9 of these - they are bright enough, they survive the rain, and you can carry a spare or two in case one is smashed by a flying stone (which is what happened to my Blackburn Mars). They are also pretty secure attached to pack loops.
If you can't wait for delivery from China then look on eBay - as cooldad says they are under a fiver.Vitus Sentier VR+ (2018) GT Grade AL 105 (2016)

I always back up a 'proper' rear light with a seatpost mounted strap around like a Knog, much more secure and very weatherproof.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

Looks like a nice, well-made fit-and-forget light. I'd have 'a cheepie' as a back up too... as well as my DX lights I also have one of the Knog style ones which I got free with a mag, and which I leave in my pack. The key thing with rear lights is that you ALWAYS have one that is working just in case.DanDax1990 wrote:Lezyne Femto ordered from CRC, Oh well lol
If you look over in the commuting section they value 'quality' lights over cheap. I value cheap because I ride on roads to/from trails, and I know I may break or lose lights that are fixed on the back of an MTB which has no mudguards!Vitus Sentier VR+ (2018) GT Grade AL 105 (2016)

"Just been for my first night ride (Loved it) " is by far the most important thing The only point of having kit is to keep you safe and make the riding fun... and riding at night is great fun. Vitus Sentier VR+ (2018) GT Grade AL 105 (2016)

My Commuter runs a Moon Shield which is awesmely bright, no way would it go on the MTB though!Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0
