Looking at getting a set of these for the commuter – more as a ‘be seen’ rather than ‘see’ thing. I saw a set in the flesh yesterday and was surprised how small they are, so do they work well enough to justify the big jump in price from my rather disposable LEDs that I have as emergency back ups?
I have to say, I think there’s a bit of a (good) trend in people starting to use lights as a motorcyclist would – having them on all the time, whatever the time of day – at this time of year. I think the USE interiew in the mag mentioned the idea too. I was road riding today and had my cheap eBay chinese front LED on with an Electron rear and felt a lot happier in the murk and gloom – it would just be nice to have a neater version…
Regarding the rear Exposure Flare – will it clamp to the seatstay rather than the seatpost ok? There do seem to be some negative comments about it pointing downwards, given the basic clamp it has – with some people shimming it to get it to work properly.
Anyway – your thoughts would be appreciated please! Cheers.
