  • Get one of these too.

  • but possibly explosive becasue they're manufactured in factories with no standards.

    That's patronising to the Chinese. Believe it or not they don't need a white man standing over them to make quality stuff.

    Your kidding yourself if you think branded lights have any higher standards of manufacture.

  • found the Cateye TL-LD 610 for £15.99 at cyclexpress for an evans price match, anyone know of a better price, have used the google and it's the cheapest I've found...

  • I had one of those and it was ok. It bounced out of the bracket and under a Vauxhall Astra though.

    I'd recommend one of these over the cateye anyday, much brighter and Cateye belt clips fit them too.

  • Anyone using a Son Edelux?

  • I was thinking of a secondary rear light of some sort. My brother in law has used these for camping, just wondered of anyone else has had any experience of em as a rear light?
    Thought they might be useful being 360 degree visible, LED, fairly bright and just quite a neat little thing, all be it a bit expensive.

  • Those Glo-toob lights are an excellent find. Perfect for attaching to a bag.

    Though I hope you take this in the right spirit, but you may have meant "albeit".

    We are all influenced by *T*he Mighty Platini here.

    Indeed. I'll consider myself corrected :)

    I succumbed last night and ordered one anyway. It should be here on Tuesday. I'll let you know how it goes.

  • I use them instead of glo sticks whilst kayaking at night. Can't fault them.

    I am with a b&m toplight plus rear and son hub.

    It's fucking brilliant. London to Brighton overnighter on unlit roads in the fog it was like having a car headlight.
    Pricey, but definately worth it.
    Would love to have schmidts on all my bikes eventually.

  • In response to this 'debate' - Iast night I was talking to a mobile phone engineer who was explaining that a Nokia, for example, is engineered and made by Chinese engineers and factories, all Nokia do is the front end 'user interface stuff' - i.e. they make it act like a Nokia and ask the Chinese to make it do certain things.

    I also found out that the battery cover of my 6303 which I thought was metal isn't, it's a metal replacement, which is also very poisonous apparently...

    But the point being the Chinese can and do make good quality stuff - the actual quality generally varies with what you pay, i.e. you get what you pay for. So no shock there.

    That's patronising to the Chinese. Believe it or not they don't need a white man standing over them to make quality stuff.

    Your kidding yourself if you think branded lights have any higher standards of manufacture.

  • Hear hear, Fox!
    In the same way that many expensive luxury clothes brands are of exactly the same quality as – and sometimes worse than – brandless or own-brand clothes being sold for a quarter of the price.
    It's also true that factories machinery, workers, specs supplied etc. can change, so the quality of brands' products aren't necessarily fixed.

    my rear knog failed in the wet so never using one again.

    Not true, the Chinamen do work better when the white master is keeping them in check, alone they tend to fight, gamble and bite each other.

    Leave 10 Chinamen in a factory by themselves and they will very likely revert to cannibalism.

    dunno wot you guys use, but my red rear gekko* has had a hammering by the rain (especially before i got my mudguards on) and it works as good as ever.

    *i get the feeling that gekko's are the exception in the knog range?
