I got the Pive bit. OPiveO?
Sorry, I'm a newbie and still in the nursery so I should be good!
I recently bought a set of traditional guaranteed squeal-free road brake pads and holders from Velo Orange in the US. Brake pad holder prices in the UK take the p*ss! They were $12 from VO.
And I'm seriously considering some of their metallic braid brake cable kits. There are VO resellers in the UK already, but they don't stock these little things which are, being VO, good quality. Basically VO impress me because they can be bothered to innovate with their own products and don't skimp on quality.
Lights I have a problem with, or rather I don't. Cheap LED flashlights and mounts from DX sorted me out. The quality is notoriously dodgy, the hardware on the mounts rusts, but they are cheap and I find it hard to believe anyone will compete with the Far East. If Epi velo is supposed to signify epicurean cycling products, you don't want to be selling this tat.
