How do you know which is the older model for the Manrose ones?

Also if you buy one with a timer, can you disable it?

If you were happy with the ratios then usually you go 2 sizes up for an oval, so 30t round sounds correct.

There all much the same, Hope if you want a bit of bling or Superstar if you want a better price.

EDIT – Just realised I’ve already shown you this!

I’m using this mount with an extra cable tie round it just to be sure –

I picked up a Fluxient U2 from torchy the battery boy on ebay.
It’s a great light, bright and good beam spread and pretty cheap at about £40.
It also fits in an exposure mount.

Got the same myself, highly recommend it.

Does it have the same mount as most lights, with a M4 mounting bolt?

If so this fits most and is a really good mount –

Cheers, it’s a NordicTrack VX400, so it’s nothing like a proper bike or even like a spin bike, also it does have a gigantic saddle! (Going to see if I can adapt something else onto it)

More and more I ride from home now, even though my local stuff isn’t amazing, I just can’t face driving an hour when I could be out and door and back home within 2 hours and have completed a nice local loop. I’ll travel if there’s a group out for a good ride, but if riding solo I’ll just ride from my door.

2 pairs of Humvee’s here, had them about 2 years and no issues whatsoever.

Same story in my local woods, no cycling signs and they have been in to remove some jumps recently.

Cheers, they’ll get me started. Mindhunter episode 1 now!

We flew from Chiang Mai to Krabi, then a ferry over to Koh Lanta. Amazing island, very chilled out vibe. Maybe worth taking a look.

VooDoo Hoodoo? £440

Hi Peter,

Worth checking out Woollybacks plenty of them ride over at Delamere regulary.

You just need one of the cheap adhesive GoPro mounts, like this

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F301808010018

The other mount might be lower, I just like the ease of the GoPro one, I’ll prob add a cable tie round the light to stop it falling out

Is there a decent app for fierce 5 like the stronglifts one?

Not as low profile as some of the other suggestions but works for me, plus it’s cable free.

Not forgot about this just not had time, I’ll get a photo up in the next few days.

Sorry I meant a charger not an adapter, like a solar storm battery pack charger

Where is a good place to buy a safe charger? I notice MTB Batteries sell one for £25, but also see Torchy sells a Fluxient one for £9, does anyone know if the Torchy one is fine?

Yes, I’ll try post a photo for you tonight.

I’ve just bought one of these to replace my cheap Chinese bar light, uses the same battery pack and works out at only about £14 for just the light without the battery pack –

https://www.amazon.com/Shkbt40-Performance-Motorcycle-Headlight-Headlamp/dp/B00IN4XW5K?tag=viglink20261-20

Its basically the same as the NiteFighter / Revtronic BT40S, makes a great bar light.

Team that with a Fluxient u2 mini from Torchy on your helmet and you’ve got a pretty good cheap setup. You could even order a new battery pack from Torchy for the light above if needed. Still be only around £100 all in.

This is what I’m looking for –

https://www.shapeways.com/product/F6ZD5E6WL/gopro-garmin-quarter-turn-adapter-mount

Didn’t really want to pay £17 for a bit of plastic though.

Yea I’ve seen adapters that mount underneath, I think K Edge do one. What I’m after ideally is an adapter that will mount onto the top, where a Garmin would sit

Once my light arrives I’ll post some photos on here so you can see.

I have a fluxient from torchy on my list and it’s great, quite punchy for the price. Much better than a mates exposure spark.

link to ebay

Just gone for the same with one of these mounts attached to a GoPro mount –

https://www.evanscycles.com/fwe-helmet-mount-for-150-300-450-500-lumen-front-lights-EV244793?xid=78888&awc=1302_1508412828_4b551761cb84197ba11cf8dcd0a50a57&utm_source=awin&utm_campaign=78888&utm_medium=Affiliate

Did you ever get one? If so how is it? Tempted by one myself

Cheers for the replies. Tempted by a joystick for my lid but also tempted to go for a Fluxient U2 mini from Tourchy, anyone have experience of these?

Cheers retrorick much appreciated

Cheers retrorick

Anyone know how these size up? At 5ft8 I’m wondering if the medium might be to big…

Did you actually click the buy button on eBay? If so, unless they then cancelled it (which you would of been notified about) then it should still be there.

On the other hand –

Paid £400 for a home buyers survey. Picked up a few issues including damp, which allowed us to negotiate more than the cost of the survey off the house after the price had already been agreed.

We investigated the damp when we bought the house and it turned out to be a bridged cavity between the dining room and conservatory extension. Probably wouldn’t of looked there otherwise and would of been a bigger problem further down the line.

Just bought myself a pair of these last week –

http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/regatta-mens-samaris-mid-wp-mens-walking-boots-p409174

Comfortable, waterproof and well priced at £48. Also feel quite light, but I haven’t anything else to compare them to.

Very tempted! Think I’ll have to get the 26er up for sale.

I visited a few years back and did KL, Penang (George Town) and Langkawi

KL is a big crazy city, a few nights is all you need though. Lots of good food and great cheap street food. The street food in KL is amazing and cheap (Chinese / Indian / Nonya).Interesting things to see like the night markets, just to sit round and people watch. Would definitely recommend a food tour, we did this one –

https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Attraction_Review-g298570-d1955672-Reviews-Food_Tour_Malaysia-Kuala_Lumpur_Wilayah_Persekutuan.html

George Town – is Penang’s capital city. It’s a really interesting place to wonder round, it’s like it’s been frozen in time. Amazing street art and cool buildings hid down every little street. Street food again is some of the best I’ve had anywhere in Asia. Just google it! My favourite place we visited in Malaysia.

Langkawi – Beautiful tropical island, still easy enough to avoid the busiest bits. Best thing is to get on a boat for the day and discover what the place has to offer.

Cheers! I’ll take a look

On-One Enduro? £25

https://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/HEOOEND/on-one-enduro-mtb-helmet

I used them for a few years now. Great for me but my hands get quite warm, I find them a good balance between being able to move my hands around and keeping them warm. Not so sure they would be a great choice if you get really cold.

Then they taste very tart and then a little bitter.

Fox Launch Pro’s in the wash, 30 or 40 and always been fine.
