pretty harsh. just about every company have issues. at least things will be sorted out a lot quicker than some of the others with their good service.

What are they thinking it fugly first off
over engineered. and where do you put the dvds in for inride movies
do they not have the internet in Barlick
3 XML leds would have given them the lumen count with less power and smaller housing.Posted 1 year ago # -
well said chris.
By the way is there any chance of upgrading my lumen liberator mk 1 with some new umphh, for a fee of course

the easiest way would be to turn up the driver which I could talk you through on the phone if you wanted to give it a try .
or if you are passing then drop it in and I will have a look and see what can be achieved.

I'd buy Hope BBs, Headsets, maybe their stems and of course their hubs but their brakes and lights seem like over engineered overpriced lumps of aluminium... nah, just cos it comes from "oop North" it must be good.

I bought a diablo mark 2. I realised you could get SSC P7 lights dirt cheap from Ebay or import them from Hong Kong if you're prepared to wait. Got a lovely pair as a present for a friend who's always out night riding with us now. Got them from 'solidmart' on Ebay who do a pair for £79.99 or singles for £44.99. They're still working even after a full winter's riding through snow, ice and rain!

Saw it at Core, got a quick demo. District rear light is stupidly bright. You will be seen definitely, but I suspect the odd motorist may run you down anyway, as he can't see anything after being blinded by aforementioned light.
As for the new front one, oh my god, its just ridiculously bright. Football stadia floodlights sprang to mind. Currently only run the top mode for 10 or 15mins anyway and then automatically drops down to 1800(!?!)lumens. I guess because of heat issues, or it'll flatten the battery in another 15mins. Impressive? Yes. Overkill? Absofrickinglutely.Posted 1 year ago #
