How long do you plan your rides to be? Is weight, or ultimate brightness an issue? Very good round up in MBR recently.0

Last year's cateye triple shots can be had for about 99 pounds if you shop about, just got a set and pretty pleased.New '06 Giant XTC composite.(Black bike No.3)
Specialized Allez double (Black bike No.2)
Suzuki Sv650s (Black bike No.1)
Subaru Legacy GT-B twin turbo (White not Black)0 -
I've been looking at the MiNewts too. Dual set is on Wiggle for about £180 which should be better than the single.
Where can you pick up the Cateye triple for £99, last years model would suit me fine.Current steed is a '07 Carrera Banshee X

lesuire lakes website. £98.99 deliverd. bargain!
i orderd mine the monday should be here wednesday!Enjoy the simple things in life0 -
I had some cateye's and was never happy with the battery life. Replaced them with some Lumicycle Halogen's they start at about £130 for Li-ion battery and you could spend up to £250+ depending on whether you want 1 or 2 lamps and how powrful your battery is.
I got a 12watt spot and 20 watt flood and get about 4 hours out of them for £200. They are absolutely brilliant, really bright - the 20 watt can dazzle a car, quite light and very set and forget about - unless you have them nicked when you get your bike nicked from your shed like me!!!
I looked around now I have to replace them and I will be getting another set of Lumicycle nothing else i found matches the bangs per buck.0 -
the cateye triple shot battery lasts for 3hrs20mins.
thats plently for most people!

The Cateye Doubleshot I use for night rides also does well, 4-5 hours burn time and nice and bright, I bought mine for £99 a while back, if the triples are now £99 maybe you will get these cheaperWant a club that knows the trails around Newcastle during the week and goes further every weekend of the month, rain hail sleet or shine?

For a cheap (£37) high-powered LED solution, have a look at this thread
It seems these may outperform dedicated bike lights costing 3 times the price. A bike mount is available for about £5 that will fit bars or helmet.0 -
Thanks for the advice guys - am always a bit wary of magazine reviews cause you never know!!
I have been looking at the cat eye's triple shot so will have another look more seriously now that some of you are saying you have em and like em
Thanks0
