Hi, im going to a energy products research group paying R500 on Mon 1st Feb 9:45am-2pm Males 18-25yrs Its at the Campus in Bryanston... We looking for 2 black and 2 indian guys to join us.... Do you know anybody? If so get them to contact alison at thebrandsurgeon.co.uk

BL + AU use Li-Pol batteries MS uses a lithium ion battery The BL has a smaller head but I think with the battery being in the bottle is more bulking... The MS battery isnt waterproof so needs to be redesigned.. The AU are just brilliant!!!

Thanks Mackie Well thats the thing. I like AyUp due to the 2 light system over the BL. But if I can get 2 MS for even cheaper it will be even greater light and I can work on fixing the quality issues maybe? We did the Test at Seans house and then on my way home we stopped to compare the AU and the MS in a trail enviroment of sorts... Its scary how good the MS light spread is for the price.... Its just a quality issue...hmmm

Firstly this test is not to slate any products, it has been done to advise you on your next possible purchase with giving you a local perspective. My findings are just that, my findings. The people present with the test will concure. Lights on test with Pricing BrighterLights Solo 620 R3700 (BL) Magicshine R1400 (MS) AyUp Double Lightset R3999 (AU) Pricing gets less the more units you buy from all suppliers Quality The BL and AU have the best alround quality. The MS is let down by its battery and cheap quality pouch but it works although is not so waterproof. Technology The BL wins hands down as it is over engineered, it can be programmed for higher outputs or longer runtimes. The AU follows second with the MS last. Warranties BL = 2yrs MS = 3 months AU = 10yrs Please if I have this wrong correct me. Runtimes on high BL = 6hrs MS = 3hrs AU = 3hrs to 6hrs depending on battery used Beamshots Test 1 MS http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t169/rad006/MS.jpg Test 2 BL http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t169/rad006/BL.jpg Test 3 AU with only 1 light (Comes 2 in a set) http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t169/rad006/AU1.jpg Test 4 AU with one light on head and other on bars http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t169/rad006/AU2H.jpg Test 5 AU with both lights on bars http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t169/rad006/AU2B.jpg My camera was set on auto with no flash and was the same for all Beamshots Verdict The MS won hands down with brightness and price although quality can be a factor as its a cheap Chinese knockoff. The BL is a very well engineered light although it is bulky compared to the others but can be upgradable as future technology improves. The AU was the most compact and simplist to use. The split light feature works great to give you a bigger beam. The mountings supplied work well but takes time to setup compared to the other 2. So if money is a factor and you dont mind quality MS is the way to go. If you want something that will last forever go BL. If you want the simplist probably most versatile with an excellent warranty go AyUp. Any Questions??? Special Thanks Must go to Sean, William and Dave (Their Real Names) for lending me the lights to do this test before I purchase any of them myself. A thankyou to Johannes for all the insight into his product and to Brad for putting me into contact with Sean. Forgot my Driver Wesley The light im buying Is none from above!!! Just joking. Ive always bought cheap but when it comes to this purchase, I have the resources to go expensive. I want to do this purchase once so, my heart tells me AU but im lucky enough to have a friend that said if we both take a MS now and I dont like mine in a month he will buy it back from me and I can go buy my AyUps. rad0062010-01-28 02:16:49

You get different 991 Chains. Some are normal, some are cross-step and some are hollowpin. The price dicates

This doesn't make sense. I'm not arguing that 160mm disks stop well. There is nothing wrong with them. But' date=' if you have two disks, one with X surface are and the other with 1/2 X 2 surface area, the one with less surface area will be hotter after stopping the same rider on the same bike over the same distance. It has to. It cannot dissipate the heat as fast. Heat generated at the pad/disc interface can only go two places - into the disc or backwards into the calliper. It goes both ways where it is dissipated into the air by the larger surface areas of the hub, spokes, calliper and fork. [/quote'] JB is got to me as well. Before I had XT rotors which when doing some hectic downhill gave me brakefade, then I put on some Alligator Starlite rotors which are pimp but have less surface area and when I competed at the Mankele downhill race I had no fade whatsoever

I actually found by using a 160mm with a smaller surface area it works great as it doesnt build up as much heat

You better love those Brakes to pieces, and tell me how they are the best ever, and enjoy a special that will NEVER be repeated!!!! Awesome Bike bud im jealous wanna swop for my TITUS??? Hee hee
