I bought a VAVERT rack, fell to bits within a week :-( Topeak Super Tourist replaces it, tough as old boots.

My first order with them was last week. Ordered on the 21st. Contacted to say some items were not actually in stock on the 22nd, and they can just send what they do have. Apparently posted on the 22nd, but haven't received anything yet.

RRP £799.99, sold at £299.99

No idea whether these are good wheels or not, and whether the RRP is accurate.

Selcof make other parts for bikes - seatposts and stems come to mind.

I've no idea if the Selcof wheels are any good, but weight wise they're comparable to the Ultegra 6700 set I've just bought - they were 1650g. Currently <£200 at Ribble (10% off listed price).

Shimano SLX 10 Speed Cassette & HG54 Chain £29.99

 

[BORIS397]

£500 off Selcof WHP700 clinchers at Planet X.
RRP £799.99, sold at £299.99

No idea whether these are good wheels or not, and whether the RRP is accurate.

Unlikely rrp accurate considering that is the rrp of dura ace 1380g c24 carbon laminate clincher wheels.

I missed having a peak/visor on my helmet, so got a cycling cap for £5 delivered from here : -

http://www.assosfactoryoutlet.com/accessories/caps-summer/6-day-cotton-cap-blue.html

Probably the only Assos thing I will ever own but it does the job perfectly. Useful little peak juts out under the helmet and helps with low sun. I will be testing it in the rain later on today.

I buy own brand caps from Planet X for £2 as and when, although you'd need to buy ten for free delivery.

I was just looking at these on their site. But where can I find any kind of demo as to how bright 35lux is without actually having my hands on one of the lights themselves?

It's a 'be seen' light, wouldn't want it as my main light if I had to light up the way

been using mien for a week and really like it, as said its more of a be seen light but boy is it bright, it can light up street signs from quite far away, really impressed lol

reason why i got them is i dont see my self riding in conditions that i need a "to see" light

il try take a video of the front and rear lights for you.

 

[Tcr4x4]

My garden is 60 foot long and 30 foot wide. The light easily lights up the whole garden when I'm stood at the back door, its perfectly bright enough for most situations I'd imagine! The rear light is pretty bright too!
