@NIN20 Those glasses don't have enough side spread, they make a persons eyes look like they are close together.
There are two things thats worse than wearing Oakleys - people who wear rapha and people who wear raphia with oakleys.
Now it all makes sense, I had mumbos back at school and wore them for cricket. One of my teachers said 'you look like a tool'. Now I know why. Thanks cuban.
I would definitely not wear them with a half shell.
I'm also pretty sure that the writers, editors and publishers of PB don't care what you buy or wear, they simply have a job to do of informing riders of available content, events and whatever else.
I don't know, maybe I'm thinking too much. I'm gonna go buy some sweet Oakleys and hide in the closet.
We'll keep making these check outs as we keep getting in product that we feel you should have a look at.
I've seen a good rider go OTB while JRA because of this - trail looked flat, but the trail wasn't flat at all.
If you ride at night above the speed of smell you will want a bar and helmet light.
When your light set up is $20 shipped with all the gear you won't be pissed if you damage or lose it. Batteries dies? Buy a whole new unit.
20 degree lens is for long throw
60 degree lens for short throw (angled down to light from front tire up to 5m).
Way much better than standard chinese 1000lm that have a narrow beam.
Maybe I will buy some of those sick Oakley shades for my halloween costume with the dinero I saved.
I bought the CREE SSx2, and it had no thermal paste on the emitters. Had I not caught this it would have fried my light. So I put some thermal paste on the emitters, now it cools as the light should. Also; the cheap Chinese battery packs that come with these cheap lights can be dangerous. My battery was labeled as 2S2P, but for some reason it was not getting the mAh that the battery configuration should output. SO I opened up the battery to find the configuration was not a configuration at all, but some assemblers mistake. So I broke the battery apart and am going to re-wire it as 2S2P, like it was sold as.
Though, for 2000lm at $25 and about $15 in mods and another $40 to $140 in high-end battery packs and you still have a light that will outshine and outrun a NiteRider, and be cheaper than the NiteRider.
Not an option for everyone, but for many they work just fine.
And yes, the batteries scare me as I previously mentioned.
I emailed them to find out where I can buy some. I just expected too much from Pinkbike raving on the product and there is no e-commerce anywhere to be found for it.
PM me with info on how I can send you money for a bottle of both!
If they've got some completely new substance for the base, instead of one of the 3 normal ones, they would be making a much bigger deal about it, because it would be a REALLY big deal: bike chain lubes have all been one of those 3 for about 15 years.

Would make for a pretty boring article.
