Thanks! My knog batteries ran out as they were accidentally left on! Ooops :P Anyway, I had ordered a load of replacements of those handy CR2032 button sized batteries which seem to be quite common in my house these days....10 for €1.31 delivered on eBay. Anyway, I just ordered another set of the DealExtreme versions, can't go wrong for €3.29 delivered me thinks! :rolleyes:...I will let ye know how I get on with them, sure if they are crap the batteries will still make them worthwhile (€4.89 for two in Argos!)

While we are on the topic of bargains, although off topic, I might as well let ye know without starting a whole new thread! For the racers of ye out there or just cautious 'bonk' preventers, these High5 ISO Gels are really great and the best value you will find anywhere working out at just 49c each (after the buy one get one free offer!) They are limited to 10 per order but at this rate I'm sure they won't be aroud for long.

Also, if anyone has no intentions to be 'Euro' or just happens to have an orange bike...then Bike24 are actually selling top class Fizik saddles for €39.90 (they are actually the test models, but are made to the same quality and would perform just as well - and be as light as the standard versions). Even on eBay they would set you back €86

Hmm - check out this review of the Knogs (from dealextreme):

Other Thoughts: Some thigns to use it on:
-Handles of bike.
-Back of backpack when biking or hiking.
-Hook it inside a purse somewhere for easier sight.
-If you put it on your handles you can use it as a turn signal at night!
-Hook it on your nipples like I attempted to and showed my sister.
-Make a necklace for raving.
Limitless options!

:eek:

Knog gave out 50 free sets of lights at the Paddy's Day Massacre a few years back, that's the only reason I have them. Great to have in your bag, so you always have a set of lights.

Hi, just received my "Cheaper Knog Frogs" from DealExtreme today. For €3.29 delivered, I am delighted. They are such a good copy I would nearly say that they are the exact same thing. I would say that they are 99% as bright as the originals (just put new batteries in to compare) and have a slightly different focus on the rear red LED, it is more of concentrated a dot with surrounding circle as opposed to one bright patch which is a good bit better according to me on the originals. Not worth the €10 difference anyway! Thanks Tiny for the heads up.

Mine arrived today as well. They are nice and cheap but the quality is not as good as the Knogg.

My real Knog Frog arrived today.

I just bought it to feel superior.

@NeilMcEoigheann; My PM is not working, sorry about that! They actually took surprisingly long to arrive, 3 weeks to be precise. DealExtreme isn't known for it's speedy delivery but you can't complain at prices like that can you now! Haha

ah cool i don't really mind i just thought they would be fun to have on the bike, i have regular lights as well so these would just be like extra non getting killed lights.
