What's best road bike lights & is the gabba any good

Whiteeddymurphy

Looking to buy some good quality bike lights that actually make you visible. Any suggestions. Budget of say £20-£30 per light

Also are the castelli long sleeve gabbas worth the money? Do they last? I presume they are really small fitting ? Thanks

The Gabba is a great piece of kit. And yes, the sizing does come up a little on the small side.

A few people i spoke with recommended the short sleeve gabba along with castelli arm warmers to allow more flexibility with changing weather conditions.

Check out Lezyne Micro Drives. Maybe a few quid more than you state, but very good lights. Alternatively, Moonshields.

Just as a heads up the short sleeve gabba is currently £90 at Evans.

Shifting stock before the new model comes out. Long sleeve is £110.

No experience of the Gabba but Exposure Strada is a great road light.

Gabba is great .. But ... Go short sleeve and add the arm warmers (Nanoflex I believe, I have the Sportful no rain ones) .. for versatility.

As someone mentioned earlier Evans have them on sale ... Well worth a dabble
