Bateleur1 Posted September 17, 2018 Share With hindsight I should have bought cheap cages and just filled my bottles 5% less for the weight saving. I will propably not buy any other material bottle cage other than carbon. My carbon cages I have bought has outlived all the material cages by ages. Well worth the money spent especially if you scored some on a sale. Andrew_Smith and FrankG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAAD4 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Think I finally got a descent bike light. Have been going through many different types over the years. Decided I need something really good this year. Have been looking around for some time to find something that is good and with the right price. Till last week I found a special at online shop in Austria. Bought this for 84€. I am very happy with what I got. All the boxes are checked. Various settings for very bright for dart forested roads to dim in city traffic.Single Unit (I do not like this battery hanging between the legs on the frame. You know I have a canyon and it might crack the frame )Long lasting battery (that seems hard to find)USB ChargableWater resistantLight1.jpegLight2.jpeg Seems like it even punches a hole in the fog They are awesome. I have the 600 and it's enough for early mornings. Bateleur1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bateleur1 Posted September 17, 2018 Share They are awesome. I have the 600 and it's enough for early mornings. The irony is that according to law the light is too bright for use on the road as a bike light but at least I can dim it down in town or when required. But I needed something very bright when cycling through the forested areas to give me a fighting chance to spot a deer or a squirrel when they come bolting out of nowhere.

patches Posted September 17, 2018 Share Not cycling specific, but I will be using this purchase to commute to work (on both the petrol powered and leg powered 2 wheel steeds). In fact it was purchased on my commute to work where I happened to ride past the local Suzuki dealership and they happened to have some in stock Kriega R20 Simple and spacious (20L). Classic Kriega rugged quality finish. http://lghttp.26404.nexcesscdn.net/80B717/aerostich/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/960x/040ec09b1e35df139433887a97daa66f/9/1/9196_1b_1.jpg Uses Kriega's Quadloc system (similar to USWE) in order to free up arms and transfer weight to torso from shoulders. Can take hydration bladder and back protector insert (CE Level 2) Also allows for expansion via the adding of a 5L or 10L dry pack (I have a 10L lying around) All in all, top stuff from Kriega as usual.

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted September 18, 2018 Share So I have a pair of these, and have a serious question for guys who have these or similar.My shoes feel like the "box" section pushes into the shoe. The best way to explain it is to say it feels like there is a 80mm x 40mm protrusion into the shoe that you physically feel like you are standing on all the time you pedal.It puts pressure to the point that my toes will go numb on a 6km little trundle.If I look down the inside though it does not look like it is pushing through..........I assume this is not normal right?Anybody care to tell me if they have the same issue.Pics posted are not my actual shoe but the same model.
