Ah but then you have to subscribe to MBUK to get it and I'd rather buy the light, plus I'd probably be able to get it cheaper online somewhere than the RRP

Chuck the mag in the bin and get the light for 24.00. Not free but cheap.

I am not surprised they give the lights away having bought on of theirs that took an age to charge and had a run time of half what they claimed I wouldnt buy another

It's not free though. You have to commit to a whole year's worth of a mag.

I got this light and 6 months of MBUK last year, cracking wee light for commuting, and MBUK is miles better than it used to be too.

I buy the mag anyway, and it works out slightly cheaper over the duration, so why not get a free light as well, (or not in this case)

Isn't there usually some small print like 'first 12 subscribers' whenever the offer is half decent.

Subscribe to Mountain Biking UK or Procycling and for a limited time only we will send you a Lezyne Macro Duo LED light worth £70!
no actual mention of what the time limit is though.
If you don't get the light cancel the subscription and ask for a refund on remaining issues?

I'm clueless about lights. Is it a be seen light or a seeing light?

This is a better deal than MBUK are offering in the mag at the moment. No "giftie", a sub is £18.49. worth a six month punt grab yourself the Lezyne light,then cancel Direct Debit and wait for the next deal?. 🙂

Sounds actually worth a punt for someone who refuses to buy bike lights but really should.

I'll ship the mag to my nephew for his entertainment.

The offer expired on 3rd october, if you subscribe online you'll get the magazine but no light

Hmm, link doesn't say that - pretty clear that the light is still included. Where do you see the expiry?

Well I only signed up on the 10th and I've had the dispatch email for the light. I went for procycling rather than me but the website had the same offer details for both

Can get £5 cashback through [url= http://www.quidco.com/my-favourite-magazines/?ac ]quidco[/url] too.

If the offer had run out but it's on their blog and still linking to the order page - then this seems to be basically a con. I imagine it'd be pretty easy to get your money back if you don't get the light.

Got an email also, saying light was dispached. Doubt they'd bother with pretending to send them if they weren't honoring the deal.

Ordered Wednesday, dispatch email received today. Looking at reviews it seems pretty well rated! - [url= http://subjectivecyclist.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/lezyne-macro-duo-review.html ]Here[/url]

Mine turned up this morning, seems a great wee light. Got it charging now, so will see how it looks when it gets dark. Got 3 static settings and 2 strobe and looks like it'll be a good helmet/commuter light. Good PSA!

Got mine too
Seems better quality than other Lezyne lights I've had the misfortune to own echo the above will be great for commuting or the road sections of evening rides
Helmet mount won't fit through the vents on my commuter helmet though so it's really wobbly, and fatter than my Joystick so mount not interchangeable
I've ordered a handlebar mount for it for about £3 from Tweeks

I'm away on holiday at the moment so looking forward to trying mine when I get back.
I'm pleased people are enjoying them - more positive than the naysaying bullshit frequently posted on the forum.

I must admit I took the gloves out, had a flick through at break-time, and then gave the magazine to a bike mad Yr11 student in one of my classes 😀 hope we get a free gift every issue!
