maybe a bit controversial but I've been using a Halfords own brand 'advanced' front light for years.
I use it regularly during winter commutes on unlit lanes.
it has a really good range of modes, great battery life with a really useful indicator on the top, can be used as a power bank if required, and even has an optional remote switch so can be mounted on forks or on a rack but still switched between modes.

I think mine is the old 1000 lumen version.
looks like they've just refreshed the entire range.

looks like a bargain! these are the ones made of magnesium aren't they?
anyone ever seen one in the wild?

sorry, i was thinking SS rather than FG as that's how my charge plug with 135mm spacing is set up.

bolt on cog onto a 6 bolt disc hub?

would it be possible to use a 135 cassette wheel with a single speed conversion such as a a gusset 1-er?
could use an allen key QR skewer if a standard QR isn't as secure in a horizontal dropout?

Great bargain! I had this same model langster.
still one of the bikes I kind of regret selling. it was a great commuter

likewise, did a 3 day bike packing trip around there a few years ago. stunning skies at night and plenty of decent wild camping / hammock spots.
some great gravel riding as well.

ah, that's shit.
I was only aware of them as a friend has a cube attain and had the same issue.
proprietary bits is reason enough to not buy one for me.

i think the cube attain has proprietary mudguards.

i went into an evans a while back and had a look at one.
the spec is rubbish on them now. top spec one is sora with spyres.

RIP arkose

this looks ace - silver bits really make it pop.
purple bikes are the best bikes.

off to jump around to the legend kenny ken on saturday in a bar not far from me.
best thing about the event is it's 2pm - 11pm so i can be home in bed by midnight! :D

in that case, would it be easier/ better for the retailer to just take the crankset off the bike and take it in?

sounds shit - both the accident and considering giving up riding.
take some time and heal up 🙏

nice. having done a few sticker runs in the past, can appreciate how time consuming this can be. 💪💪

cool, thanks for this.

any more deets?
our extractor is so noisy to use that quite often it isn't, resulting in wet walls / cabinets...

impressive stuff, looks like an amazing experience.
are you left to your own devices to clean up the frames prior to paint? cleaning up the fillets etc?

all the nope

sks edge guards fitted for the winter season.
really easy to set up and impressively solid.
front flap made out of a scrap of dead animal skin, but I might remake this a bit longer / wider.
also fitted a zero offset superstar chainring to sort out the chain line. runs like a dream now.

left work a bit early and took the scenic route home.

that sounds fucking awesome

what a beast! love it!

think it's one of these, although the pump was missing.
luckily i had my trusty hpx frame pump to hand.

it's in a co-op carpark in a village called rothley, just to the north of leicester.
