Few quick questions - Lights / Lock / Breaks

will_85

So thought id box off a few quick questions in one go....

Looking for some half decent budget lights.... don't do much night time riding, but will want be seen around central London when I do - any suggestions?

Also looking for a decent lock that's transportable, but wont break the bank.

And finally, im not really happy the the Tekro calipers on my 2012 Carrera Virtuoso, ive changed the pads to Shimano Ultegra, but they still aint great.... Any suggestions on might be a worth while upgrade without shelling out mega bucks?

Any help would be appreciated & please, no "I wouldn't bother upgrading parts on that bike" as im happy enough with what I have for now....

Thanks in advance :P

Koostop salmon brake pads would be a good start. Tektro brakes aren't the best, but Koolstop pads will certainly improve that performance. Whether that alone will be enough only you can say.

london is high risk, plenty of thieving scum with tools, do not skimp on the lock

If you want a genuinely thief-proof lock, then its going to be heavy so best leave it where you need it instead of lugging it about. For portability, Kryptonite mini is small enough to carry with you and a 2 metre cable to pass through wheels etc.
