Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

It may take some time before we find out what it does. Delivery targets have been hopelessly optimistic and there isn't an android app yet. The lights have some 'quirks' such as going off and refusing to go back on again until they've been plugged into a usb.

They may well fulfill a lot of their potential, but they are someway away yet and have been released as a part-developed project rather than a final product.

Agreed, I keep getting mine out to try again and every time it does something unexpectedly bad. As a straightforward light it is ok, when it works, but as anything smart it fails. The key in my last sentance was ‘when it works’, I need reliable lights and this is not it.

Postage is free over £12.99 so you may need an ‘add on’.

Not tried them (obvious reasons) but I know some folk rate their 500 series stuff as good no nonsense everyday kit.

Mike Sports-Direct is shutting half the Evans shops, so it may have shaken out of a deal there.

Bargain of the Century. My very good friend let my son have this for £250 nearly all new components. 2x10 speed. Drop bars will be added just need to source some shifters.

Wiggle and CRC are selling the Endura Humvee Convertible jackets of at £35. I treated myself to the last one in small yesterday and bought some back up lights to take the price up to around £45 and got £9 off adding Summer17 code.
Love the Endura Convertible, this one will replace one thats 5 years old and has been through thick and thin!

Another Wiggle treat:

Just bought one (the Navy one on the second photo) for my lad for his birthday, as he asked for something to keep the chill out during his daily cycle commute. I got an extra tenner off, too, by setting up an account in Mrs. 66's name.

I'm very jealous now.

You can join by phone, so my mate rang to check this afternoon and then joined.

Buyer beware! In addition to BC's other debatable problems, this so-called Commuter membership requires you to agree to the WADA code (so no taking various permitted medicines because they may enhance your performance in races - races that you're not licensed to participate in with this membership!) and more seriously "Commute members benefit from individual liability insurance cover for utility cycling and commuting, but not for participating in cycling events or any kind of formal group cycling activity" - so not insured if going on any charity rides and I forsee quibbling about what's an "event".

As an aside, I wonder if this will make life more complicated for groups that demand CUK or BC membership in the expectation that it means TP insurance.
