  I have these and have put up with much abuse off-road and when riding fixed. The main problem is it like a sponge in the rain.

  Went into BLB today to buy a bb that was on their website for £20 only to be told it was £25 from the shop...or they could post it to me for £20??? Seemed a strange way to do business to me.

  most shops match their online price if it's different instore.It doesn't really make sense that posting it will make it a £5 cheaper to sell.

  The LED can't keep the battery warm when it's subzero. On Tuesday I had to turn my MJ880 off in favour of a knog to make sure the rear Magicshine stayed on til I got home.

  on my smart R1 the light goes dim in the sub zero temps atm but brightens up wheni take it inside . i'm thinking of using a bit of foam around the batteries to keep them warmer.
  It might be the cheap rechargable nimh cells that i'm using though.
