[The peddler]

Anyone used the TACX bar end lights ? What do you think ?

I have a pair.
The indicator function is a waste of space but the rear light gets a lot of (positive) comments from other cyclists. I like it 'cos it appears to give me a bit of width.
Unfortunately, and similar to my Trek bar-end lights, they don't appear to be very robust. One of the Tacx has stopped working. I've only had them a few months.

Unless you have dire need then no

There more a decorative item than essential IMO

I saw someone with a pair. Didn't rate them much for rear visibility tbh. Would be good with a main light on the seat post I suppose.

My mate uses them when out on night rides and they're actually quite effective. He's had them for a couple of years now and still going strong. Indicator feature is a complete waste of time tho!

They are actually quite effective, (apart from the novelty indicator), but the fitting is a pain in the @rse.

I found that whenever you tried to remove the light it was stuck in the sleeve fitting and you had to pull out the whole thing, then separate the light and fitting sleeve, re-fit the sleeve then re-fit the light.

Like I said, a pain in the 'arris!

I sent my back to Wiggle and got a refund.

i have the trek ones, they are not the most substantial bit of kit but anything that makes me more visible is a good thing imo.
