Weight Weenie

Tempting that 800 is, just bought a light and have a 500 though

Thanks for the reply ASG Ok so - are all lenses dating back 3 years covered or only from current purchase then 3 years from now ? - Does guarantee pass from one owner to the next ? - whats the guarantee on the frame and bits itself ? It's a good initiative

ESI chunky is good. Had racers edge, too thin for me. If you like foam, KCNC brough out coloured foamies a while back. Have used Bontrager XXX lite foam grips - nice grips, can slip a bit so need to install them with hairspray etc. High density foam so bit harder but they don't push through onto the bars

no man, thats why I paid so much for the Formula brakes, I can drag them the whole time wihtout them fading

Bryce Munro won it on a Scalpel, 100mm front/80mm rear travel I think But then again he is not human, 140mm should be best for most Did part of the course on my hardtail as part of the 3 towers - think I could have walked faster

Oh yes ! Agree 100% Was sceptical and bought the calve sleeves first, but was so impressed I got the quad sleeves as well. Haven't run in a while and then did a 05:30 pace 5k in them without stretching or warming up/down. Wore them afterwards as well, no DOMS in the next few days ! Hit my one shin on a branch the other day while trail running, I was bleeding a bit but the material didnt even make a hole in it. Also after hard rides when I felt my legs were physically sore, the sleeves seemed to ease the feeling when put on and helped me recover faster so I could train the next day. They offer a 30 day cash back policy so give them a try

Haha now Renay wil need a 120mm bike to keep up with him on the downhills

the guy is the comedian "Michael Naiker"(sp) right ?

As much as I'm trying to like GT I just can't, just had too much drama with the frames and Omnico. But these use a new layup/clear coat so should be fine. Did ride a Marathon model once, felt like a couch to me, hope these are more racy.

Hiding in my room trying to study see the sms I sent. See you have replied, will chat about it tomorrow. If anyone is keen to join us for a road spin tomorrow arfie let us know.

My main issue is that bikes can cause allot of damage to the paths that aren't made for them and I wouldn't want to see MTB'ing as a whole being banned in the reserve because people are ignorant/don't care/don't obey the rules etc. and end up ruining the trails, giving us a bad rep or hurting someone. I also run there allot. The bottle comment was tongue in cheeck though...

Yeah, but previous models around 2-5k http://www.mammothoutdoor.co.za/headlamps-c275.html

I WANT !!! http://silva.se/campaign/sprint

Shot that makes sense ! So the normal kits only lacks the bike mount ? I'd get that then, otherwise I'll let you know about the extension cord if its not included

Ask Stewie_911 he was running with me. I have a Fenix TK11 so at 225 lumens its bright enough, though the beam is a bit too focussed maybe. Was hectic coming down those groenkloof technical trails at speed, he was basically running blind behind me as he only brought a Petzl with. Had to shout if there were big drops etc. but there was enough light for both of us. Must have looked pretty funny though, me running with one arm moving and the other standing still with light in hand

Theres service videos on the cb site and an article on bikeradar, pretty simple process it seems. You just need the kit and some grease and some basic tools and your good to go. Kits are available at bike shops but sure online as well - crc, cwc or buy cycle

Thing is I went running with mine yesterday and the lack of a top strap means it tends to bounce and slide down, or it needs to be super tight which is irritating. I'm big on trail running so would enjoy to be able to do it in the dark and the H14 seems better suited, its brighter and specially if I can put the battery pack on my waist, as I wear a Camelbak Delaney Race pack around my waist anyway so there is space for it. Last night trail run I did was with my Fenix torch in hand, didnt work well. Rather wanna mount that on my helmet and get a magic light for the bars

Thanks for the info but I'm confused. I understand it as follows : You get the light head, headstrap and battery pack as standard. The strap has clips for the light and battery pack that can be attached elsewhere ie. your belt Then there's a 2nd kit that also has a bike mount in addition to the above. Ok but say I go trail running and remove the battery pack from the headband and want to put it in my pocket, is the cable long enough ? Or do I need an extension cord ? Cna i buy this cord seperately or does it come in one of the kits ? Thanks WW.

aha thanks for that Ashchest, thought the cable would be too short. So it can go in a jersey pocket ? That would mean less issues with helemt fitting/removal if I want to use it for running and I can mount the battery pack in my running belt as well so less bouncing Any experience with it dimming ? Does it stay on 220 lumen or go down to 190 ? A handlebar mount is included right ?

Left is H14R, H7 and then H14 Fenix HP10 cannot be focused. H7 is not digitaly regulated but the H14 is

H7 is not supposed to dim from what their site says. Fenix hp10 however only gives turbo output for 3 minutes so that rules it out. 120 lumens thereafter is not enough. H14 and H7 are IPX4. Now I see the H14 dims to 190 lumens after a few minutes to avoid overheating but the H14R stays a constant 220lumens. Can't be right ? Or does that mean if I use 2500mah AA's it will not dim, as their rechargeables are 2200mah and thus it only dims with alkalines ? Also H7 is rated as 150 or 170 lumen, unsure what its actual output is, but I doubt the change to 190 lumens will be noticeable, especially for double the price and more weight. Though I went running with the H7 last night, bit bouncy but I guess the strap just needs more adjusting, top strap would be cool though to keep it from sliding down.

I'm 1.76 and ride a medium, large is too big. stretched out toptube and not enough stand over hight.

USN Epic Turbo maybe ?

Nope tank meant that as its mounted on the helmet you cant move the switch so it will be on full power when mounted. If the light is not digitally regulated it will start to dim AFIK. Used it for a night run, not bad but may get a Fenix hp10. Bit more powerfull and IPX8 rated. But dunno if it can go from spot to flood. Anyone ? Is the H7 waterproofed ? doubt it i I look at hte battery pack cover.
