you mean the kinda extended lozenge shaped ones?
i bought two - i don't use the front one because it's too awkward to fit on my handlebars. the rear one is going fine.

How are these rear light's /cameras working out?

There is still one available close to me but just wondering if they are lasting OK

I wouldn't be using it daily, generally a couple of times a week. Last time I had reason to check footage it was working ok, and still working as a light.

I use mine daily, I replaced the memory card with a 32gb one and updated the software (there's a link further back on this thread somewhere I think). It works well.

Havent tested mine. Im a fair weather cyclist

. A friend got one and its fine. It does indeed have loop recording and he didnt have to do anything with firmware.

lochdara · 12-03-2018 11:43AM

Mine is doing fine, doesn't like direct sunlight in the mornings but picks up license plates when they are close enough

Still lasting, cycle 30 minutes each way 5 days and lasts over a week but only using the camera. I have other rear lights. Only thing I would say is that I have never heard it beep 4 times when turning on, indicates a 75% or more battery, always 3 beeps or less.

yes licence plates need to be very close but thankfully haven't needed and hopefully don't

anyone got an idea when the next Aldi (or Lidl) bike gear might be in stock?

magicbastarder · 20-03-2018 07:17AM

Lidl have some at the moment. Some spray cans of lube, brake cleaner etc. Some clothing, track pumps, various bits and pieces.

Lots of stuff in Lidl Nutgrove on Sunday morning.
I even managed to pick up a bike stand and their must have been about 10 left.

Before I go rooting any further, can anyone confirm whether the camera/ light came with a fitting for an aero seat post?

Does anybody know if there are still any garmin edge 25 cropping up for €45? I'm wondering if it's time to stop looking out for them.

magicbastarder · 17-04-2018 09:01AM

i haven't seen them in a good six months, probably longer.

Thats about how long I've been looking out for them, ah well...next time

Well my rear light camera just gave up the ghost, had been working brilliantly up until two days ago. I had forgotten to charge it and it died on the commute and now won't turn on.

Turns on when I plug it into a wall socket but dies as soon as I plug it out.

They're usually pretty good with their three year guarantee.

Haven't been in since, but happened to be there at 9 on sunday morning - there was a queue outside, but the scrum was for the bogball gear rather than cycling at my local store, so I don't know how they're selling. Baselayers and CO2 was my main look out. And a few socks. I thought the rucksacks looked ok for commuting/ mtb, and had one in the trolley at one stage!

I got the base layer, bag and socks.

The base layer is very good as its more of a summer base layer.
I had it on under my Gabba yesterday it was perfect as my other base layers are a bit too warm at the moment to wear with anything like a Gabba.

The socks are a nice color but the are really only ankle socks and that's in a size 9-11.

The bag really doesn't hold much as their is two rods in the back which limits what you can put in it but for 14 bucks it will do the job.

Justwinginit · 01-05-2018 10:46AM

Myself and buddy got a jacket each, lucky we went in at opening, there were only 2 of each size! Seem pretty good. We will see when the rain comes.....oh, it's here already:-(

Ok for B&M but my last order was €21.29 for 20 all in so I wouldn't go nuts stocking up.

My OH hasn't used C02 before so I suggested the other night she try out the ones I got here rather than learn on the road. She was like a demon this morning when she arrived out to flat tyres. Whoops

What had happened?

She'd tried it out on Sunday so by this morning the Co2 was gone from the tyres. I never thought to tell her that would happen. I could feel the lasers on the back of my head as I deployed the track pump , she was already running late.
