the RSP Astrum is awesome. unfortunately i lost one recently because the plastic bracket snapped off.
B&M on the other hand is starting to piss me off. they haven't been able to produce a durable or
serviceable rear light for over a decade now. I currently have this one:
you can see the round capacitor for the standlight in the middle. unfortunately it is only held
in place by a tiny bent piece of metal and the pressure from the closed case. After a few weeks
of riding the standlight stopped working. (great if you rely on it in traffic).
The capacitor had slipped off the electrical contacts. Since the case is just glued shut
I had to break it open with a knife, put the capacitor back and fix it in place with a piece of string.
Now this DiY job worked well for a few months but now the light starts cutting off again while riding. utter piece of shit.
Oh yeah...and a €25 price turns into £39 here.
garbage
