    Lots of Fenix LD50 homages on ebay About £11.50 without batteries in China to £20.00 with batteries and charger in UK. 2x xml, 2x 18650, 7 modes of mode overkill. High-mid-low-strobe-sos-left-right-off. The low mode is a bit strobey. The handlebar mount is a bit wobbly but can be fixed by melting the plastic. Once locked in place it could be more vulnerable to damage in a crash. There’s a review over on Bike radar big lights thread 2011-2014 p165.

    Plenty of these on ebay, aliexpress etc. for as little as 62p. Replace the screw. Cut off the plastic pimples. Or shorten it and drill a new smaller hole.

    A Lower profile solution is to use the existing mount and bungee it directly onto a helmet vent. You may need to buy a compatible helmet and aim the light with some strategically placed inner tube packing.

    I’ve had the same problem with a cheap chinese frame and it was a PITA. I put up with it for years but the gears were always intermittent. If I were you I would go the warranty route.

    No you don’t. 2 lights is a good idea if only for a spare but modern floods have such good reach, it’s been a few years since a spotlight was necessary let alone necessarily the best idea.

    Not sure if we agree with the 2 lights thing? Bar light will cast shadows to reveal surface texture and a helmet light will look around the corners and add light futher down the trail. In terms of more spotty on the helmet I don’t mean a spot as such and agree with what you said about that. It certainly applies to the first generation single XML reflector lights. What I meant about a helmet light was a beam with more throw than a flood (like the x2). Suppose the degree of flood or throw required is dependant on how technical/fast your trails are.

    Reflectors need to be low down otherwise won’t get caught by dipped beam. This is why pedal reflectors are so effective. Reflective tape on fork seatstays and rear mudguard if you have one.

    Solarstorm x2 is OK for off road although x6(eBay) IMHO is a better bar light for similar money. Nightfighter BT40s has better spread than Solarstorm x6 but be careful where you order from as some China dealers are have less integrity than others. Look for reviews on the sellers as well as the lights. For off road 2 lights is a minimum. You need a light with spread on the bars and a more spotty and light weight one on the helmet (like the x2). For road use and particularly urban cycle paths I would not use an off road light due to dazzling. This would be more appropriate for road use Halfords rechargeable

    Sealing on these is not great but you can resuce the condensation by slackening but not removing the screws on the back and placing it in a jar of dried rice

    You lose the pressure when you reconnect the pump not when you disconnect it.

    when you connect the pump it has to fill the hose up to the same pressure as the reservoir. This will cause a small amount of air to be lost. This air will be lost even with a zero loss connector. On the other hand it could be the rubber seal compressed and leaking before the valve is released.
    These have a zero loss connector

    Swap from organic to sintered or vice versa? I had a real problem on one bike with sintered. Made a nose like an angry goose. Semi organic/ kevlar made it only happen in the wet. Oh and swingarm bearings checked or replaced?.

    This winds me up. The average adult male falls directly between a medium and a large frame so always has to buy a frame thats too small or too large. why don’t frame manufaturers make frames to fit the majority of their customers? Small frame size centred over the female average at around 5’5″ and medium over male average at 5’10”.

    Don’t think the dyndns service will work on the second router as it will not know about the internet address on the WAN interface of the old router. 192.168.x.x (rfc1918 private address range) addresses are not routable over the internet so DNS will not work with those.

    I didn’t want to confuse things by offering the option which sl2000 has suggested. Yes that would also work but read x.x.1.x

    A switch would have been a better solution but What you have should work.

    The 2 routers need to be in different subnets and route between them. Put the new router LAN back to 192.168.0.x . Connect a LAN interface of your old router to the WAN interface of the new router.

    You will not be able to manage the new router from the WAN interface (old router side) unless you have turned this feature on so connect a computer to the LAN interface of the new router and configure it on http://192.168.0.x check connectivity from the management PC to the old router with “ping 192.168.1.254”

    You can let the new router pick up a DHCP address from the old one if all you want is outbound internet. The static address 192.168.1.10 that you have assigned is likely to be within the DHCP range of the old router so you may get an IP conflict if you use that without modifying the DHCP scope of the old router to exclude the address you have used.

    The problem is, will the manufacturer think they’ve been popular because of the 5000 claim?!

    Lumens: 1500Lums – 800lums – 300lums – 1000lums
    Runtime: 2h30min – 4h20min- 7h- 4h10min

    I don’t think the manufacturer does make that claim.

    Reflectives need to be low down to get picked up by dipped headlights. I’ve just fitted coloured refective tape to the lower tubes of my commuter bike but the BS pedal and spoke reflectors are brighter. Reflectives on the tyres spokes ankles shoes and pedals work well.

    NO NO NO!! I have the older “biker” gloves and they’re perfect cheap warm dry and lasting for years. These ones are rubbish in comparison. They get sweaty and the lining doesn’t dry out. I have to put them under the hand drier a couple of times throughout the day before I ride home. Then the palms have developed creases after a couple of weeks use. The velcro cuff is too fat to fit under the sleeve and the not gauntlet enough to fit over the sleeve leaving a cold wet gap at the wrist. These things are more detailed and must have cost more to make but are worse. Aldi sort this out.

    Having ridden with somone who runs an 872 and I now have the ssx2 L2-U2 I think its got the balance between floody and spotty right. If you’re riding slow on very technical trails YMMV

    i recently went on the great rock basque mtb adventure and what you need when you arrive at the airport is a waving ed with his big bushy beard. Made me feel all special.

    the little things are important (i think).

    Your experience really are a stark contrast to mine so thanks again Doug and Ed.

    Same here –

    We kindly ask you to place a new order online for an item that we do have in stock.

    But it was in stock when I ordered.

    Not as bad as the time I ordered a front and rear brake and they sent the front followed by the rear a month later and also not as bad as the time they sent a bike with part of the headset missing and took a month to send me a non-original equipment replacement and told me to take it to the LBS to get it fitted and then invoice them for the fitting charge.

    Thanks to Rob for sharing this with us and shame on Wiggle for not honoring a done deal. I think I’ll pass on the £1 voucher code as I no longer trust them to deliver what I order.

    Cannock. Supertacky on the front and 60A on the back them pebbles are slippy as **** and after all the snow and frost you’ll be needing the best rubber you can get. Tread pattern less important as it never gets that muddy. That’s if it’s even open at the moment.
    Pines. Compound doesn’t matter but tread pattern does. Knobbly spaced mud clearing (nobby nic)on the front and fast rolling with a knobbly edge (racing ralph) on the back.
    Your existing combination isn’t too far off the mark. I would change the front for a 2.35 single ply minion or high roller and keep the rear.

    I bought one back in 2009 on the basis of this review. Then after I bought it the OP posted an update on page 5 and I’ve not really trusted it’s strength since. But I’ve ridden it loads without any problems and I’m 15st. You could get a merlin malt frame which is pretty light for similar money.

    Full kettle of boiling water on the frame (after you have the tool clamped in place and know which way to turn it and have removed NDS).
