  • Since writing that little review up there, I've gone through two sets of Reelights.

    Basically what happened is that I put them on my girlfriend's town bike which gets locked up daily in some pretty busy stands, and they just fell apart within a couple of weeks. The cables got ripped out of the first set (and they're not repairable), and the brackets also broke, so I wrote to Reelight and they sent me a set of 620s (the top-of-the-range ones) which, within a month, broke in exactly the same way.

    I wouldn't recommend them on anything that's likely to get bashed. They're simply not very durable, both because of their design (physically small brackets, not repairable) and because of cheap materials (really brittle plastic, cheap screws that round off easy, threads that strip before they're properly tight etc).

    Thanks for the review, I'll swerve them then! They are pretty ugly tbf, I think I'll get a set of Lezynes.
