If it had been a double wheel bag, then I think I'd have gone for one of those. It looks well made

...Went out for a 3 hour ride and it was dead as a dodo when I got back. Battery totally pancaked. Probably after about 2 hours. That's just not acceptable to me.

I’ve have the same experience with my see.sense light. Went out for its maiden ride last with 94% battery, set to pulse and came home with 46% battery and I was only out 40mins; giving a total run time of about 90mins! Shall be reverting back to my cateye as I can’t be bothered charging it every 5mins!

Mine has gone back. I'm just waiting for my refund.

Just to be contrary. I'm happy with my see sense ace. Haven't been faffing about with the app just using it as a standard light. After almost 2hours use I'd only used one led of power.

Mine is on back of my helmet. Largely because I'm not sure on the mount.

it came in really handy as my 30month old Zecto drive and 3yr old strip drive lights stopped working in December.

Took the plunge. For the price I thought it was worth a punt. Came today.
Disappointing that the battery is pancake flat and will take 10 hours to charge.

The real let down is the app. More contradictory info than HMG's virus regulations. Sometimes it connects to the light and sometimes it doesn't. Charging levels are up and down like a bride's nightie.

I cannot even log in without agreeing to share my ride details with city planners. I never ride in cities, and who are these planners anyway?

Light is bright, at least it is at home. If battery life is any good then it could be a good purchase, but that app....??? I suspect it has been created by a bearded geek with skinny trousers and a North Korean haircut. He should stick to his skinny decaffeinated latte and get someone who understands apps and/or cycling to work for him.

I had a look at the reviews of the app on Google Play, and decided not to bother downloading it. Haven't tried out the life yet.

Late to the see sense party.I have one and haven't really had any issues with battery life ? Have the app on my phone but I'm not sure of the point of it ? I've just used it as a standalone light.
Had it on for 2 half/3 hours and it's still saying 80%.Sorry used the app to see battery life !

To get the app to work on my android 10 phone, I have to keep reinstalling it. I'll only bother with it when I want to change the settings. At the moment it has the brake light function & is bright enough for normal weather. Battery life seems OK so far too. The clothing clip seems unreliable though unless I tape or wire it up.

I've had a few of the PX ones and a couple of other brands. They are good, but the Zipp one looks far superior

I've got two. I agree that they are absolutely fine. Can't see the need to pay more. Price swings i think between £10 and £15 in planetx's usual way - pushes you into higher postage charge as well i think so maybe a good idea to order some tyres at the same time.

I am considering pair of the carbon / BOA road shoes if they bring out more colours....not into black.

Black or black for shoe options. don't mind a little bit of coloured trim, but they have to be black, especially now I mainly MTB.

Spot on. Haven't suffered cold like today in a very long time.

Entirely my fault for not being dressed for a ride early morning where temps felt like -2, but what can you do.

Mine arrived yesterday and they are far too small, supposed to be 44-46 but they are a good 2cm short for my 45s.

Mine were the same. Sending back.

I heard back from the company today and they are refunding and not requiring me to send them back.
