Please report back on how bright they are.

i'm not quite sure to report back on this, but here are some pics

 

I guess it depends on what you want to use your lights for: for you to see clearly ahead of you or for other road users to see you clearly

the lights are extremely effective for visibility - to be seen - and have a 1km claim

 

I can vouch for the brightness as my buddies usually complain that its quite distracting especially when the suns not out yet

Awesome, Thanks for the info.

The reason I was asking as I have heard they decent for during the day to be seen. My front light is no problem, can see well at night and be seen during the day but my rear light I don't think is worth much during the day. Am looking for something that I can use during the day only. On night rides if you ride with a super bright red light then its not lekker for your buddies behind you. On my commutes home from work I am alone most of the time.

Racing Quattro - Carbon

perchance you do a weigh-up between the quattro's and the Speeds before purchasing?

Size rubber on those rims, 25, 28, 32? (apparently, according to ETRTO 52mm is the maximum those rims can handle :huh: )

I will be selling my Knog blinder "the face" rear light soon if you are keen?

I have replaced them with the Knog "mob kid grid" I got last week which have a wider beam angle

If I could (always afford them) I don't think I'll buy any other lights besides Knogs

PM if you keen
