Bike Lore

The two lights aren't the same. The one sold via groupon aka 1200 are brighter and have a 8.4V battery where the other one ,the red 1000, uses the same configuration as the Ryder 4.2V battery pack it is a small amount light less but runs longer. You also get a tail light with the Red one and a rubberized battery pack. edit: added "less" to make a more clear

I have the same bike, or one year older. I love it more than my Anthem x1 which got nic'd. I could not afford to replace the Anthem so I settled for this. I have never looked back. Yes it is 600g more, but that 600g is more bike. shocks, riding and fun. 16k is a good price. I did TransBaviaans, hell and back and several others rides. Man it is fun having to watch my teammates with there supper light bikes suffer just as much as me. It eats single tracks like a DH bike and rides like a XC. the 140mm travel is a dream. enjoy

Gee wiz talking about amazing feedback. I knew that the lights where gr8 value for money that is why I sourced them. I am being overwhelmed with the amount of emails and feedback that I am getting from the users. This is relay making my day. What a lessen i learned from this. Thanks everyone for the support during the last few weeks. I actually thought that this self-induced-fiasco was going to mean the end for me and my lights. looks like I was being to hard on my self

lucky you. l

Ledlenser is a good brand, BUT you can do better on DX. I prefer any cree T6 XML 18650 light. there good value for money and out shines everything on the stores. just mu option.

R784.89 for that?!?! then you need to buy a battery also and import.... I always say get a light that is designed for what you want to do. if you want to cycle get a cycle light. need a torch get a torch. why not this http://www.extremeli...hray-5000-lumen? then you get a 4 bay charger that can charged anything and 3 batteries and a torch that doubles as a weapon. with 5 time the amount of light.

Maglite aren't on the same scale as this type of light. just saying https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/116924-extreme-lights-pyro-lights-groupon-deal/page__pid__1686835__st__176?do=findComment&comment=1686835

Well just don't do what everyone does the first time they get this type of light. DO NOT LOOK IN TO IT!!!! The light you are getting is pretty bright but basic and I can tell you that once you pop you can't stop.

We are om 499 likes.... how cool

Wow, 36 likes in one day. That is a record I believe. I must have done something right.

I got a complaint today. We lend a unit out for a demo ride and he notices that the light dims about 1h30 in to his "ride". The reason why that happens is because the light protect it self when it overheats. Very view other lights have this protection. Just to clarify All Pyrolights have thermal protection. If it kicks in it means you need to stop chit chatting and start to cycle. Not having this protection will result in a major reduction in the life time of the LED. One more reason why you should enter this competitions

mmmm.thanks will do that

bump

how does the Aston Martin look that comes with this bike?

strobe is useful if you want to be seen, for example if you are commuting. I hate it also that there is a SOS mode and I don't think strobe should be part of the normal mode cycle.

This is the chance to voice your opinion about the flash/strobe mode on a cycle light. Magicshine asked me if it is needed so let hear it. what do you think? At the moment the Pyro2000/Maigchsine MJ880 does not have a flash/strobe mode. it has 5 level setting that can be changed using the plus and minus buttons.

Well I am sorry for your loss. My wife wedding ring got stolen by our cleaner and now she is taking us to the CCMA for unfair dismissal. So i will have to pay her 2 weeks pay. now that's sour grapes.

how accurate is the "Find My Ipad"? i had TecTrac on my phone but it was only about 10-30m accurate. So no real use if the phone was in a building complex. or a multi story flat.

sliding your bike looks cool but that is about it. It is very likely that you will be off balance when you exit and then will require some effort before you really can put in power. If you are under control then you can start powering 3/4 of the turn.

this is tricky. the answer to your question will changed depending who the rider is. If it is my wife i would agree with the chirpy biker. If you don't have fine control then in all likely hood there will be some nosediving. Her intent is to get through the turn. in one peace. not to the be the fastest. For me the aim is to control the speed before i get in to the turn and then power out. The idea is to use the maximum amount of traction for chaining direction not braking. You can control your speed during the turn with the rear and front brake but by then it is to late to really brake.

where did it happen?

I must admit that if someone gave me all that info I would have not given it a second thought,. gone mula

now this is what a call a scam, well spotted

Thank you petatodd. Yes this was a first attempted that went kind of pear shape. My heart was and is to prevent people from thinking there buying one thing and then getting some thing else. Pyro is build around the 4000K light concept. Where extremelight is low cost good value lights. Some people can afford to by the best the newest where others just want a light that works and allows them to train in winter. Pyrolights come with a years warranty and Extremelights with 90days. All these lights are good for what there use are. Not everyone can afford a +R1000 light.

I admit I should have thought this thru better. I just wish people would read this much before buying. I mean on the add there where different links and names and the description where very clear. Only part about that chould have been better was title and the intro paragraph. Regarding brand. No one will expect to get the same warranty on a Ledlenser as you would on a leatherman. Or if you like flur de cap and you buy tassenberg then you will not expect the same. It will be much more confusing if pyrolights starts to sell normal lights also with different warranty.
