Autumn fast approaching and days getting shorter, so:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/CatEye-Unisexs-Lumen-Rechargable-Front/dp/B07CNKM1MP/

Not super cheap, but the cheapest price around. Also seems to have better reviews and longer battery life than the newer "AMPP" versions.

I tried an Exposure Joystiq and was not impressed, and it was about £50 more, so will give this a go instead.

I can’t recommend ravemen lights enough. Just as good as a Exposure Strada I had. https://www.fawkes-cycles.co.uk/2492834/products/ravemen-pr1600-usb-rechargeable-dual-lens-front-light.aspx?currency=GBP&chosenAttribute=35417&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7NGi7cCx6wIVyYBQBh1Y2AH-EAkYASABEgLsWvD_BwE

Anyone get their WTB Exposures? Mine came today and one of them seems to have pretty haphazard rubber. When looking directly down onto the trye you can see gumwall. Makes me a bit concerned about cornering. Not equal application all the way around. Half the tyre seems fine (and the other tyre I ordered is fine). (as seen in vid below)

Hermes seem to have lost mine.

Mine arrived, haven't tried them yet but the tread doesn't look great IMO. In your video the wiggle looks symptomatic of not being seated properly to me.

Unfortunately not the case. You can see the wonky rubber application in this pic better.

Although looking at the vid again you can definitely see a pull to the side like it's not seated, or the wheel's out of true. I'll have to double check there's not anything else going wrong.

Edit - better pics (also, there was a kink in my wheel).

You can see in one there's about 45mm of rubber and the middle point of the tyre is at about 23mm.

In the other there's about 40mm of rubber (few mm less really, but whatever) and the mid point is at 24, so only about 16mm of rubber on the other side.

So. Will it kill me?

Will try mine later, wasn't quite ready to get them out of their neat little zip ties but want to know if they're NFG.

Is the bead fully seated all the way round so the line shows 1-2mm above the rim edge?

Yes (when inflated - they're not in those pics). But that shouldn't affect the centre line of the tyre relative the edge of the rubber though, as far as I can figure.

True! That looks like the tyre has been made inconsistently

I got a set but wasn’t planning on putting them on until my current set wear out. Not into looking at wobbly rubber for the next few months!

Schwalbe Pro One TL 25 mm for £20

I was thinking it wasn't seated correctly until you posted this pic (the one of the wheel laid down flat).

That's just shoddy manufacturing.

Has anyone ordered from Quoc before?

I bought a pair of shoes from their outlet section nearly a month ago and haven't heard a peep. Order confirmation email said I would receive them by the 5th August and their customer service haven't got back to me at all.

Should I raise a PayPal dispute?

Classic cyclocross anyone?

Miche Primato Advanced Pista Track Chainring - £31,95 (with code: EXTRA10)
https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/miche-primato-advanced-pista-track-chainring/rp-prod152795

Just received mine. I think mine has the same issue without having fitted them, the black rubber extends past the thread. I tried to draw red lines where the edge of the thread is, as you can see it’s not the same on both sides

does it matter?
