Hmm would go braw when riding my all road bike ?? :tongue: Take it Gore is on the smaller side, just checking the size guide which puts me in XL similar to the euro sized garments from other manufacturers?
 
3 tubes of Electrolyte tablets is what I used to get to the £10 required.

Same here!
 
Smart Lunar front and back for less than a fiver - though you need to spend £50 to get free P&P.

Short term offer.

This is one of the weaker lunars but decent lights - I have standardised on them on the front for various bikes for normal duties (Hope Vision 1 is used for nightime country trips) and at this price it's almost worth it just to get a spare front light mount.

Or to get another rear bit of the light - the rears are prone to beaking if dropped (I have broken two) but as I understand it the rear is just a battery holder and standard across all models so can be used with a more powerful front. Someone feel free to correct me if I am deluded in this.

2 sets ordered, which works out at £3.50 per light, including postage.

I like these, especially for the long run times. I've gone back to non-rechargeable lights because of this. I find that after a year or two and especially in cold weather, the small, reasonably priced re-chargeable lights have a realistic run time of a couple of hours, which isn't enough.

I'm sure you can get re-chargeable lights that last longer, but they tend to be bulky and/or very expensive.

Well you can run these with rechargeables of course. I do. Just get decent rechargeable AAs and use a decent slow charger. This is the reason I never understand the apparent wonder of USB lights with built in batteries. And the lunars are so cheap you don't necessarily have to swap the batteries en route - just clip on a spare pre-batteried light.

I like to have both options for their different needs/benefits.

[QUOTE 4566264, member: 45"]Rechargeable lights are a waste of money. You can get all the benefits of chargeability with normal lights and rechargeable batteries, and you're not stuffed if they run out.[/QUOTE]
The advantage for me is that I can recharge them at work, or I assume even off the mini battery pack thing I have for charging my phone. It just gives me options having both.
