    AliExpress Cyber Monday

    Depends what you buy, things like music gear, guitar pedals and FX units tend not to be faked and there are some real bargains to be had and they are usually 50-65% cheaper than UK. Most the bike stuff is the same as you get here too. The mouse I'm using right now is deffo a logitech fake...

    Ebike News

    Not much to do in Inverness when the H runs out, Cardiff more surprised by given it's a big cultural city, they've had a few schemes here and for sure I've seen more than a couple of them in the canal and basin behind the mighty Firhill but mostly they are left alone. A FOI might tell you how...

    What Action Camera Do You Use on Bike?

    Have almost bitten twice past day on ebay for go pro 7 with various accessories, first went for £130, second £160, both would've been more if I'd got involved bidding though so not in any rush and probably I'll get a better deal in the new year when people get an upgrade and off-load their older...

    Bright Headlight for Winter - Recommendations?

    If it's the Cateye I found on amazon looks decent but it's very expensive? I went with that motor bike lamp as I can take a feed from 52V battery using a female kettle socket on end of lamp direct from battery via XT-60 splitter, I have a female kettle plug dual QC USB charger (in pic) so I...

    With the 3 position switch I got it's either off/on/flash so no need to cycle through various modes to get what you want, can just click switch - I agree though that becomes a pain in the arse especially if you have a multiple light setup to switch them all on the get it in the mode you want...

    The motor bike light arrived, crikey it's big and sturdy, wired it up to my bench supply at 12V and fuk me I almost blinded myself and am not even kidding.... Not wired a 3 pole switch to a 3 pole lamp before and no wiring diagram on product page or in box, did some probing with multimeter and...

    What Action Camera Do You Use on Bike?

    Some interesting posts above, thank you all, still mulling, go pro 10 out though as not spending that for a camera that will not get much use. Anyone seen this action camera, looks bit like the Chilli Mk2, suspicious though as nothing on interweb about it and looks too good to be true? There is...

    What Action Camera Do You Use on Bike?

    Fed up of bams in cars cutting me up, mainly private hire taxi w@nk3rs and it's happening now every time I'm out. Key requirement is good price 2nd hand, won't be snorkelling with it or doing much else bar the bike but it should be able to read number plates at night, probably will mount on...

    When I was a kid we used to go to Italy for summer holidays in the caravan, I always noticed the yellow headlights when driving across France, very conspicuous as no other countries appeared to use them.

    I tried the laser down light tonight, you're right the laser bit is crap and can barely be seen however the rear strip of LEDs does add some visibility Revised score: 7.5/10 Didn't see any cats.

    Tried out the two rear bike lights tonight. First the laser strip (£5) Has down pointing laser and rear facing night rider KIT style strip and clips off easily when locked up and took secs to fit rubber band, keep it as high as you can under seat to miss frame for best laser pattern...

    Got my most definitely fake Logitech M185 mouse today, pretty easy to tell it's a fake due to gap at front lip and it's slightly narrow to feel than a real one and doesn't quite feel quite right. Knock-off was £3.06, when it breaks I'll get a real one from amazon for a tenner, last one I had...

    More Seizures

    It's well documented past few years that UK cop forces are institutionally racist, homophobic, corrupt and stupid, occasional bike theft wouldn't surprise me either. It's police 'initiatives' innit, oxymoron if ever there was one, they pick a 'category' at random using a dartboard then harass...

    I've got that brighter one on order too that will be powered by 52V, also got the fuse holder and female kettle plug from ebay so just need to get some fuses to test it when it arrives.
