Massively tempted to buy one as a backup light to my chinese cree jobby...or tbh it might even replace it lol
Worth noting that the Bike Hut light is designed not to dazzle oncoming traffic. The emitter is actually facing down inside the top of the light unit and the reflector and lens then distribute the light forwards and down, with a definate cut-off.
As a result, it doesn't have the throw that a conventional light would have, and it does have an odd dark bar in front of the wheel. However, the width and brightness of the beam means that the light is highly usable. Mine has replaced a Hope Vision One which has a bright spot but much less light outside that.

Cruds are excellent if you have narrow clearances or you mudgaurd eyes have a rack already attatched.

I ran cruds on my 2012 Allez 24 for the 2012-2013 winter with relatively little problems. Last winter I ran race blades (I think) without any issues.
Thanks guys, it was a lot dryer tonight and I decided to try a different route today. Mainly on narrow single track country lanes, which was a little daunting. It was shorter by about a mile 
but it was quite a bit hillier 
. I think I preferred this way to the main carriageway as it was a lot more peaceful and the views were much better. Maybe I'll try a different route again tomorrow. Here is the profile if anyone is interested: http://app.strava.com/activities/141222387

After last week's damp Friday Night Ride to Brighton, you really ought to join us on a FNRttC: we could do with a dry ride! You'd certainly be more welcome than a certain @Fab Foodie and his wet weather jinx...
(And @User will be there)

I find the little lanes a lot more interesting at night. You see a lot more wildlife as well (of the small and furry kind, I hasten to add!) It helps if you're already reasonably familiar with them so know the hazards beforehand and have good lights. A word of warning: in my experience the cheap Chinese lights aren't the most reliable so I'd recommend running two lights both front and rear just in case one breaks or you forget to charge the batteries.
